Skechers shoe could be pioneer
The toning and wellness shoe genre is becoming a business waiting to boom. More and more, fitness-minded consumers are drawn to this new set of tennis shoes promising to keep them fit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one step at a time.
And now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Skechers hopes to grab this genre by storm by introducing a shoe that is poised to be a pioneer of its kind. The Skechers Resistance Runner promises two things: to train you harder in a shorter period of time and to do it while providing the corrective benefits of the burgeoning culture of running barefoot.
To accomplish those goals, Skechers built on the foundation of its popular Shape-ups technology to create a running shoe that Phase IV founder and CEO Robert Forster (a physical therapist for Olympic athletes as well as NBA and tennis players) calls "the newest and most promising innovation in shoe technology in the last 30 years."
Based on extensive testing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], according to the company these shoes will help increase back muscle activation by 85 percent, hip muscle activation by 71 percent, calf muscle activation by 68 percent and will help the person wearing them burn 13.2 percent more calories per hour than in "normal" running shoes. That would dramatically decrease the time it takes for individuals to reach their fitness goals.
There are essentially four "soles" in the shoe, the most important of which is the "rocker bottom" foundation piece. The shoe has a rounded appearance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is by design,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to help create a more natural running position, which is key to the barefoot running movement that preaches natural running over running with traditional running shoes
It is very different from the first generation Shape-ups shoes that generated so much attention on both the supportive and skeptical sides of the ledger. That was a walking shoe. This will be marketed toward high-level and everyday athletes looking to stay in shape, correct their running motion and gain an edge in competition.
