Footwear is an important part of any outfit. There are so many different forms of footwear to choose from that making this choice is quite dizzying. You can choose between slippers, sandals, flip-flops, shoes, sneakers, boots and clogs. With varying fashion statements over the years the style of different footwear has changed drastically. Initially the market mostly targeted women as there were so many different styles for them to choose from. With so many fashion houses starting their own lines of shoes, boots and heels the choices have become practically endless. But of late even the men are not left too far behind. With more men realizing the importance of fashionable footwear to complete their attire the sales of footwear have risen to unimaginable heights.
Every tiny aspect of shoe-making is being researched heavily to give the consumers the very best in fashion, design and comfort. Gone are the days of the fabled elves helping the shoe-maker, now big corporations have a team of researchers constantly adjusting the minute intricacies of shoes to give you more comfort. Comfort has become the keyword because wearing footwear that is uncomfortable cannot be sustained for long.
A revolutionary innovation in comfort footwear are the ‘Fit-Flops’. These are not only extremely comfortable, they are biomechanically engineered so that they help to tighten and tone your leg and thigh muscles as you walk in them. This means that they give your legs a good workout while you walk. They have been proven to increase the activity of muscles in your legs and buttocks by 30% which lessens any ache you might be previously suffering from in your knees and hips. They also are great shock absorbers and therefore have been known to benefit people who suffer from conditions like heel spurs, osteoarthritis, restless leg syndrome and degenerative disc disease.
The shoes are made such that a Microwobble board has been placed in the mid-sole region of the shoe to increase the engagement time of your leg muscles with every step. This board has a high density at the heel portion which helps to absorb more shock and give you relief from joint stress. The mid section of the board, in the space below the arch is kept at a very low density. This low density spurs instability which increases the muscle activity in the legs. And the front or toe portion of the board has a medium density which helps to control pace, speed and variation.
These fit-flops are found in a myriad of designs ranging from slippers and sandals to shoes, clogs and even boots. They are also available for both kids and adults.
