The FitFlop started off the huge toning sandal sensation back in 2007, and following their launch it would seem that every man and his dog is having a bash at producing a sandal which tones the legs and butt faster than ever before. MBT, Chung Shi, Skechers Tone Ups, Reebok Rock & Tone, Tonewalker, Earth shoes, and Reebok Easytone have all produced a toning sandal for summer, adding to their ranges of muscle toning shoes.

With all the bums and legs being displayed by Reebok Easytone, the fun flip-flops from FitFlop and shaping up with Shape Ups is easy to forget that Scholl have been offering toning shoes for over 50 years. The original Pescura heel is a stylish wooden sandal which improves the posture and tones the legs and bottom up to 30% more than standard shoes. Released in 1959, it has changed little over the years, and with such a great design it should be no surprise!.

They are this year’s toning shoe sensation with adverts currently occupying primetime slots all over Europe. It is impossible to escape from the acres of toned legs and bottoms currently on display. Whilst this may well be attractive for the male audience who are not catered to in the range, this review offers women an opportunity to find out more before rushing out to the shops to secure a pair.
