Just a quick update on that last post. I looked to Prevention Magazine and other health magazine websites for reviews on toning shoes. What I expected to find were either no reviews or positive reports. The reason? Skechers, Reebok, and other toner makers are a sweet source of advertising revenue for these magazines. Prevention surprised me, however, with a relatively unbiased review. While they acknowledge some of the muscle-firming capabilities, editors were objective enough to point out the risks of injury. Prevention testers also compared the features and benefits among brands.
Will Consumer Reports ever run a purely objective review of toning shoes? What kinds of tests and punishment will they subject the footwear to? I don't know the answers yet, but I look forward to seeing that issue hit newstands.
