lose weight and ease aches Naples Daily News
For decades people with surgical issues or disabilities and professional athletes were the primary consumers of orthotic and over-the-counter custom footwear,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Then smart footwear manufacturers found a way to merge style with comfort, and designer orthotic footwear was born. Taking that one step further in the American exercise mindset,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], smart manufacturers developed yet another type of working shoes that has consumers all aflutter - the shoe that both helps burn calories and relieve pain.
"Rocker or roller shoes can take a lot of the pressure off areas of the foot and have been shown to burn some calories as far as the research shows," said Dr. Jeremy A. Schwartz, of Orthopedic Specialists of Southwest Florida. Schwartz specializes in foot and ankle surgery, sports medicine and joint replacement and is on staff at Lee Memorial Hospital.
Foot Solutions in North Naples and Estero carries the Ferrari of calorie burning sneakers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Chung Shi. It's a shoe of Foot Solutions' own design that features a heel-toe design to make muscles work harder. The effect burns more calories than walking in regular sneakers.
Aside from burning calories, roller shoes like the Chung Shi come with other health benefits, according to the company's publicity: They provide a massaging effect and supports the foot in a way that improves body alignment and stress reduction and reduces shock to the spine.
Because standing in roller shoes requires a different stance to balance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Chung Shi manufacturers and dealers say the shoes relieve pressure and improve posture,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], acting as a shock absorber for the spine. They also, say advocates, help support the pelvic floor muscle.
The shoe is constructed to create an acupressure point in the arch of the foot, which stimulates foot reflexes and an increase in blood circulation in the feet and legs. They require some adjustment for the wearer but that's also why they are so effective at improving muscle tone and increasing core stability.
"The Chung Shi and shoes like it support the natural walking gait and cause you to use muscles not normally used in a walking shoe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Foot Solutions owner Vic Stern. "Although it's not scientifically proven, I have customers who play golf in them who say there is something they do for their golf swing."
Roller shoes are said to help prevent injuries to ligaments and tendons, they are not recommended for side-to-side activity such as some dance classes or for people with walking difficulties.
Chung Shi isn't the only roller shoe on the market. MBT shoes, nicknamed the "antishoes" because they simulate walking barefoot in the sand, were forerunners of these kinds of shoes. The initials stood for Masai Barefoot Technology. and was designed by a Swiss company with a multi-layered, cured sole to simulate the natural walking environment of the Masai in Kenya.
The Chung Shi roller bottom shoes are not cheap, retailing at around $245. MBTs are a bit less expensive at $119 and up. Similar mass-marketed toning shoes like Skechers' Shape-ups brand are less expensive, starting at around $50.
New Balance has created a TrueBalance brand of toning shoes that hides the telltale toning mechanism to make the shoe resemble a regular running or walking shoe. They retail for about $90.
Designer orthotic shoes aren't the only new "it" products for the feet. Sof Sole's new Airr insole has applied the concept of air bag technology to the foot with a cushioning insole. When you put your weight on the foot, its insole wraps the foot in what's essentially an air pocket to soften the blow. The technology is especially popular with runners because running causes the back,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], knees and ankles to absorb the brunt of each impact. Vibram Five Fingers shoes look exactly like feet with plenty of wiggle room in a separate space for each toe. The Five Fingers shoes work by stimulating foot muscles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which can improve balance and agility. They're available at Martini's Shoes in Naples and Marco River Marina on Marco Island.
Even bedroom slippers have gone high-tech. Foot Solutions sells Haflinger boiled wool slippers which come with a double felt sole and latex foot support designed to support the foot, even when you're just plodding around the house. Snyderman Shoes, which has two stores in Naples and one in Fort Myers, was the first place in Naples to retail the popular FitFlops, flip-flop style sandals that also help people burn calories as they walk.
A footwear challenge some people face is the need for a different size shoe for each foot. Some retailers, like Snyderman, now allow consumers to buy two different-sized shoes or offer custom shoes.
Manufacturers are also working at combining premium features and light weight. The New Balance 759 running shoe, which weighs less than 9 ounces, is an example of that thinking.
"For runners especially, they must have the right shoe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and many runners actually have a running coach who helps fit them with running shoes," said Dr. Schwartz. "If you have the wrong shoe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you run the risk of developing all sorts of issues, like neuroma, for example, in which nerves in the feet get swollen because shoes are too tight. Neuroma can make your feet feel like they're burning."
The podiatry community at large recommends that shoes always be comfortable. But knowing if new shoes will be comfortable is a challenge that may require some help.
"On your own if you're trying to fit your foot, chances are your shoe is too small," said Dr. Schwartz. "An orthotic retailer can help you make sure you're not wearing the wrong size,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which can lead to foot and ankle problems." (An accompanying side story describes how to measure your feet.)
Recently Stern fitted 93-year-old Luellan Taylor with a shoe she needed after recovering from two surgeries.
"In my case, having the right shoes is a requirement,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she said. Stern says people like Taylor have very specific needs because the wrong shoe could cause serious injury.
"For someone who is 93, they will need a shoe that gives them the ability to glide rather than step as much, because some shoes cause the foot to catch on surfaces like carpet and can cause them to fall," said Stern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who is a licensed pedorthist.
Stern conducted a gait analysis on Taylor to determine what she needed.
Stern's says he also recently worked with a 35-year-old woman who came in crying with a severe case of painful plantar fasciitis. Stern said it was clear to everyone in the store that the woman could barely walk,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"A roller shoe doesn't heal plantar fasciitis, but it can help people to remain active and mobile while they're healing, so I put this young woman in a roller shoe," said Stern. "She was in a lot of pain,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but when she put it on, she got immediate relief - everyone in the store started clapping."
