Super shoes

Besides the Fit Flop that seems to be the talk of the town right now there are plenty of shoes out there which claim everything from correcting your posture to getting rid of cellulite, and even relieving the symptoms of diabetes and arthritis. But really how good are they?

According to a test in
The Daily Mail last week Asgis and MBT Trainers get the highest rating with 9/10. Then come the Crocs with 8/10. Both Earth Sandals and Nike Free get a 6/10, while the Power Diet Sandal and Fit Flop ends up with only 4/10. The lowest rating goes to the Beech Sandals, which only gets 3/10.

So which shoe should one buy then? I guess it very much comes down to how much one want to pay and how much one believes in miracle cures. The only shoes, which there are research evidence that it actually does exercise the leg muscles, are the MBT trainers. They are also the most expensive ones at £125 so you probably get what you pay for.

We have been testing MBTs and our three trainers that have been working with them say that it is truly amazing in that they almost want to teach you to walk again properly. We must get lazy in terms of posture as we get older!
