Embracing a Healthy Family: walking shoes to help lose weight

I'm loving my Earth Exer-Fit so much that I had to get a second pair to push up my tone and exer-fit routine. What I like about Earth Exer-Fits is that they don't look like the Frankenstein shoes like some of the others ones look like. They don't have that huge platform and they really look like normal shoes. What I also like is I can wear them casually or during work outs to maximize my burn.

Exer-Fit shoes burn 4x more fat than an ordinary shoe and have an airy mesh upper which enhances breathability, while the combination of anatomic arch support, BioFoam™ cushioning, and an ultra-lightweight, deep-grooved sole, absorbs and displaces shock to make burning extra calories a breeze. You really don't feel the 3.7 degree incline once you get used to them which takes no time at all.

I chose the pink/white leather but there are other colors and an array of standard sizes available.

If you prefer a non-athletic shoe, there are other choices too like the Exer-Flip, Exer-Luxe, Exer-Slide and more. There is even a 12 minute exercise routine you can download featuring Tracy Mallett to help you burn even more. The exercises can be done anywhere and really is a great alternative to those working in an office or at home and need a quick pick me up.

You can find Earth Footwear here but I purchase all mine at Planet Shoes.

After seeing all the write ups and tweets from BookieBoo (Twitter and Mamavation) and ResourcefulMom (Twitter and ResourcefulMom) as well as others with the 30 day Earth Footwear challenge, the exposure worked and curiousity set off. With the motto of "turbo-charge your walk," Earth Footwear has four colors to choose from to fit any style:

Dary Gray (mens/womens)
Pink (womens)
Desert (men/womens)
Sky Blue (womens)

If you are wondering what makes the ExerWalk so special, it's in the technology.

Kalsø® Negative Heel Technology®

The most defining feature of Earth footwear is Kalsø® Negative Heel Technology® – a unique inclined sole that positions the toes 3.7º higher than the heels. The slight angle shifts weight subtly back over the heels, and can help strengthen and tone the body while also burning calories.

Anatomic Arch Support

To complement Kalsø® Negative Heel Technology®, all Earth footwear features reinforced support through the arch. The arch support maximizes the effectiveness of the heel design in promoting a natural walking motion.

BioFoam™ Cushioning

Inside all Earth footwear, a form-fitting footbed provides exceptional comfort with BioFoam™ cushioning. The proprietary material molds to the shape of the foot, displacing and absorbing shock with each step, and is environmentally-considerate, using 70% recycled content.

I purchased a pair of shoes from Curves via Avon when they first came out but after being called Frankenstein by my husband and laughed at by my oldest, I couldn't wear them outside. The ExerWalk look like normal athletic shoes and look great. For my own 30 day challenge, I picked the pink ExerWalks and hope to receive them early next week to start.

Stay tuned to see if I stick to the plan and if it helps!
