Chung Shi Footwear Review:

Background

Chung Shi Footwear has created a built-in “Pilates System” in their shoe that promises to do something that seems, upon first glance, to be impossible. Chung Shi Footwear believes that their “Pilates System” can actually help people lose weight through the unique design of the shoe. The Chung Shi shoes have heels that are curved fifteen degrees. The logic behind this unique fifteen-degree curve is that new muscle growth is stimulated. Of course, this would mean that anyone wearing shoes from Chung Shi Footwear would be burning more calories, no matter what they were doing. Any shoe that can help dieters burn more calories just by walking is certainly an interesting one that deserves a look.

Similar shoes are made by Masai Barefoot Technology.

The Good

The ideas and concepts behind the Chung Shi Footwear system are strong. By changing the basic design of the shoe, the creators have changed the body's center of gravity. This means that potentially wearers of the shoe will work their entire body in a different fashion. A quick visit to the Chung Shi Footwear website shows how this concept works with an easy to understand animation.

The Bad

The shoes might take many users a while to get used to, and they may be a bit pricy for some. Most of the offering from Chung Shi Footwear costs between $245 and $275 dollars.

Exercise

Chung Shi Footwear has the potential to contribute to an overall increase in health, fitness and weight loss. The creators of the Chung Shi Shoe believe that these shoes helps absorb shock to the entire leg and knee, improve circulation in the feet and legs, increase overall tone in the lower body, and should even increase the number of calories burned everyday.

Cost

In general expect to pay between $245 and $275.
