Can a shoe improve your posture and give you toned muscles without ever having to set foot in a gym? According to several studies, toning shoes do not live up to the claims, and in fact, are causing serious foot injuries. The curved soles of a toning shoe create instability for the wearer, which can cause severe pain and alignment issues in the foot. Foot injuries from falling or tripping while wearing a toning shoe are also becoming more and more common.

Heel Injuries
Heel injuries are often a result of too much stress applied to the bone and surrounding tissue. Plantar fasciitis, which is a partial or complete tear in the arch ligament, is the most common type of heel injury. Other types of heel injuries include:
- Heel spurs – bony growth on the heel bone
- Tarsal tunnel syndrome – ankle and arch pain caused by pinching of the tibial nerve
- Achilles tendonitis – chronic pain caused by tears in the Achilles tendon
- Blisters – fluid filled sac that lies on top of the skin’s surface
- Calcaneal stress fracture – break in the heel bone.
Mid foot Injuries
Mid foot injuries can be caused by overuse or some form of trauma to the foot. Severe swelling and soft tissue damage are often associated with injuries of the mid-foot. The various types of mid foot injuries, include:
- Navicular stress fracture – a break in the bone that sits on top of the heel bone
- Plantar fascia strain – tear in the arch ligament
- Talus stress fracture – break in the bone at the top of the ankle
- Cuboid syndrome – partial dislocation of the cuboid bone
- Tibialis posterior syndrome – swelling around the inside of the ankle.
Forefoot Injuries
Due to the amount of weight being applied to the forefoot area when walking and running, the forefoot is prone to injuries. A number of injuries can occur in the forefoot, including:
- Hallux limitus – condition where the hallux’s (big toe) range of motion is limited
- Metatarsalgia – inflammation of the joints between the metatarsal and phalanges bones
