Tonewalker Khaki Sandal

Brand Info

Tonewalker is a revolutionary extreme exercise shoe that allows you to workout whilst you walk. Featuring state of the art technology in a specially moulded platform inspired by core yoga principles, they ensure maximum results whilst offering a low impact and versatile way or working out. By targeting the core - the centre of power for the body, Tonewalker can hone in to target core muscle groups and increase flexibility and balance, giving you up to 5 times the exercise value when walking or standing.

Tonewalker have been designed as a solution to the fast pace lifestyles many people are currently leading - where exercise and health are beginning to take a back seat to career and family time. By using a pivot design that offers wearers increased exercise value for the time they spend on their feet, Tonewalker can easily fit in to your existing routine and many people are using them as a replacement slipper - meaning even common household activities can become a point of exercise value.

Technology Explained

The design of Tonewalker naturally stretches the base of the foot and encourage the wearer to stand in the correct posture, therefore realigning the spine and centre of gravity.
 
Tonewalker incorporates Neutralising Alignment Technology that works by positioning the heel lower than the rest of the sole, which instantly corrects posture. This positioning helps to strengthen the leg and back muscles and encourages a healthy walking pattern. This effect is heightened further by the centre platform, which constantly adjusts the wearer’s balance.

In addition to this, the unique Pivot Technology and platform sole helps the wearer to work out from the core. As the platform forces the wearer to correct their balance, Tonewalker makes muscles work harder, as they are continuously having to re-adjust to maintain a neutral position and therefore do not have the opportunity to lie at rest.

To ensure a complete workout, Tonewalker includes Resistance Technology to quicky build, tone and strengthen muscles.

A combination of all 3 technologies Tonewalker to target core muscles, improve flexibility and balance and correct posture to ensure a healthier, fitter, more toned you.

How to walk in Tonewalker:

Put on Tonewalker whilst seated and carefully stand until you have found your balance.
Start with small steps and build up to more complex movements.
Walk using the centre platform and ensure your heel remains suspended.
When you come to a hald, rest back on the heels to stretch the calfs.

Benefits

Tonewalker have been designed to target core muscles and can be used to target both health and cosmetic issues.

Fitness and Toning:

The three stances Tonewalker facilitate can be used as a group when walking in the shoes or individually when static to target specific muscle groups.

 Contract lower extremities, lower abdominals and back muscles

Stretch lower extremities, correct posture and contract abdominals






Focus the strength of the core, employing all major muscle groups to support the body in a balanced position





Cosmetic Benefits:

Contrary to popular myth, cellulite is not associated with being overweight. It occurs most commonly on hips, buttocks and legs, the areas which Tonewalker targets. Every step taken in Tonewalker creates a deep vein pumping action which kick starts even the most sluggish circulation.

This has a direct effect on how well your lymphatic system drains away toxins and thus the dispersal of the clumping fat cells that can form cellulite.

 Health Benefits:

In addition, through boosting circulation and training key core muscles, this corrects postural imbalances and is a useful preventative approach for lower back pain. Tonewalker can offer relief from and prevent a host of conditions including:

• Lumbar and back pain
• Swollen ankles and sore feet during pregnancy
• High blood pressure
• Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
• Sciatica
• Type II Diabetes
• Arch related foot conditions, such as Plantar Fasciitis

Product Comment : These are great. As a regular wearer of both fitflops and MBT trainers, I had got to the stage where I needed something more challenging on my feet. Tonewalkers certainly are and I could feel the difference in minutes.
How did they fit ? Size was perfect
