Get Fit This Fall With Earth Footwear

My mother’s been telling me to wear comfortable shoes for years.  And I wouldn’t listen.  I continued to wear inexpensive flats that failed to give me the arch support I needed.  Then I turned 39, and even if I still look like I’m in my 20s (please humor me) my feet feel every bit my age.  So these days whenever I hear about a shoe that’s comfortable, supportive, and better yet has a fitness benefit, I’m ready to try a pair.

Faithe Calf Bordeaux

Here on Hot Mama Daily, I’ve written about Skechers’ Shape-Ups (I have to admit that this shoe has grown on me and many readers have commented on their fitness benefits) and TheraSandals (a FitFlops copy cat that has helped me navigate the hard city sidewalks this summer).  Next up, Earth Footwear.  

Unlike other “fitness” shoes, Earth offers an assortment of casual and dress casual styles.  The footwear’s wellness benefits are the result of a proprietary design known as KalsØ® Negative Heel Technology®.  Found in all Earth footwear, the slight incline from heel-to-toe sets the wearer’s toes at a 3.7° angle relative to their heels.  This technology actively engages and recruits muscles throughout the body, and has an overall strengthening and toning effect.  According to clinical research, Earth wearers can increase lean body mass, increase overall body efficiency, and effectively burn more calories with every step.

I’ve worn my pair of black Dharma clogs ($99) three times already.  They’re cushiony and I can feel them toning my calves and forcing me to walk more upright. Earth’s new Fall/Winter collection, including  the stylish, Bordeaux Leather Faithe clog, is now available and can y be found at select online and footwear retailers worldwide.
