Endorsed by celebrities such as Joe Montana and Kim Kardashian, toning shoes have quickly become one of the best selling athletic shoes on the market. The odd shaped shoes generally have curved soles, which make the wearer work hard to keep their balance. Toning shoe manufacturers claim that the instability of the shoe increases muscle activity in the legs, buttocks and core up to 30 percent. Some manufacturers even claim that consumers can burn up to 10 percent more calories when walking or running errands in toning shoes. Toning shoe manufacturers are quick to make claims of improved muscle tone and overall health, but have provided almost no evidence to support their claims. Independent studies conducted by experts in foot and sports medicine are revealing that the clunky, unstable shoes can actually cause serious injuries. More and more reports are surfacing of injuries associated with toning shoes, toning boots and toning sandals.
At Estey Bomberger, our toning shoe injury lawyers have dedicated their practice to helping individuals injured by the negligent or careless actions of another person or entity. We have witnessed firsthand the financial, emotional and physical burdens placed on injured victims. We want to see clients fairly compensated so they can begin to put the pieces of their lives back together.
