Review: Fitflop Mukluk from fitness footwear

I’m very honored to have been sent these Mukluk boots by fitnessfootwear

 
They came in the official fitflop box and packaging 

These boots are so comfortable and have a toning effect not to mention are

great for straightening out bad posture! These boots have so many benefits

to them that I’ve already thrown away my old “normal” black boots!
 
For those not familiar with fitflop, let me explain.  The Fitflop range of shoes

are not only stylish but also have an added toning effect to your bum, legs

and can also help shift cellulite. The shoe range works by adding resistance

to the sole of the shoe that forces your feet to work harder when

walking/running. 

On top of the toning bonus these boots also offer health benefits and fitflop

shoes have been proven to aid health complainants such as psoriasis and back problems. They also help to correct bad posture (instead of creating it like some boots) as the microboard in the sole evens out the pressure placed on your soles through walking and distributes it evenly. 

  These boots are so effective that you are advised to ease slowly into them so your body can readjust to the new sole.

 

Let’s move on from the technical stuff as health and toning benefits aside these Mukluk boots look and feel amazing!

They are the classic winter boot design being short enough to dress up with tights and a dress but are also wide enough to tuck jeans and leggings into. They also have sheepskin inside and the soles are treated with an antibacterial solution to keep them fresh and germ free. I’ve found them really comfortable to wear and have started off wearing them for 2 hours a day as I intend to wear them for work which is about 8-9 hours! These boots will be perfect for work as they are not only comfortable but smart too and really warm which will be great when the cold weather hits in. Plus they have been treated making them water resistant. The label on the Fitflop Mukluk boots advises you what to do if they get soaking wet so they will be looking like new again. 

These boots were a massive hit last year and are set to be huge again this winter so you best hurry and buy them before they sell out! I have the black pair but they also come in a rich chocolate brown

 
I’m really looking forward to seeing the benefits of wearing them daily at work so will be doing a follow up review to let you know if I can see any improvement to my bum, legs and posture.

Review: Merrell Sandals

The wonderful people at fitness footwear have treated me to a pair of Merrell sandals. As you remember I already own there flat shoes so I was very excited to try a different style.

These sandals are so comfortable it’s unreal! As you all know by now I’m very picky about what I put on my feet but it seems I can’t go wrong when shopping at fitness footwear!


These sandals are very on trend right now and as my US readers are aware Merrell is a big brand in footwear. Us UKers are only just catching on to the buzz surrounding this brand so here’s some info about them:


They make a comfortable range of active and casual lifestyle shoes and have the 'Get Outside' slogan, as well as reputation for comfort.


Merrell is essentially all about going camping with your mates, exploring the countryside, the city and 'getting outdoors' in any urban or rural environment. Good quality, fashionable, active and casual lifestyle footwear.


These Merrell Siren sandals are my new holiday favourite. When I’m abroad I adore walking on the beach and climbing the rocks in the water. These shoes give all the style of a sandals whilst supporting your ankle and foot plus they also have the little air holes in the sides to allow your feel to breathe in warm weather. Since the UK has been having a heat wave these shoes are perfect for me to run my errands in whilst also complimenting my wardrobe whilst the across the ankle strap provides support and comfort. Plus they only cost £62.95 and free shipping!

Designer Special: Fitflops Mukluk boots

I have some very exciting news! FitnessFootwear are going to be stocking FitFlops renowned Mukluk boots.



For those of you, who haven’t heard about FitFlop, let me explain:


FitFlop have been the pioneers of getting fit whilst you walk for a while now and a few years ago brought us a workout in a summer shoe i.e. the FitFlop .

Here’s abit about them:




“The FitFlop is the flip-flop with the gym built in, and offers a fashionable footwear choice which will help strengthen your muscles, tighten up the leg muscles and tone your bum without ever having to set foot in the gym.


The revolutionary shoes were the brainchild of Marcia Kilgore, the Bliss Spa founder who had the idea that women should be able to get a lot more toning value out of walking and get a gym style workout without the time commitment.


With the technical expertise of biomechanics expert Dr. David Cook the concept was turned into reality and the patented Microwobbleboard™ was created. Located in the midsole of all FitFlop creations, it adds an extra wobble to the step and activates the muscles for longer, improving body tone without any extra time or effort required.


Designed to be worn on all occasions, from the moment you get up to the second you hit the sack, your legs and bum can get a prolonged workout, your feet given exceptional comfort, and your posture improved. With the FitFlop you’ll start to feel fitter and healthier and look fantastic in next to no time.


FitFlop sandals have been biomechanically engineered to add more value to walking, and have been subjected to rigorous testing by experts in anatomy and movement dynamics. The FitFlop features the Microwobbleboard™ in the midsole of the shoes which increases the length of time the muscles in the legs and bottom are activated during a normal step which helps to improve toning with each step you take. What’s more, the sandals have been designed to improve your posture and reduce the stresses on your lower back and joints. When you walk with FitFlop, tired and aching feet become re-energized, and you can really feel the benefits after even a short walk. FitFlop sandals have also been reported to help sufferers of bone and muscle conditions get pain relief.


Obviously in the cold winter months, the last thing you want to do is put on a pair of flip flops but you still want the same toning effects. Now you can wear a pair of the stylish FitFlop Mukluks  from FitnessFootwear.

They are due in August, costing £135 and you can get them in black or brown. Plus free delivery!

Review: Reebok easytone follow up!

Here as promised is my follow up review to the reebok easytone trainers trainers sent to me by fitness footwear

I have been wearing these trainers for a bit over a month now. I’ve been wearing them whilst travelling to and from work (sadly not in work as we aren’t allowed!) plus I’ve been wearing them whilst running 6 times a week. If I’m honest I think they really have made a difference even in such a small space of time. My legs seem more muscular which amazed me as I’m more long and lanky than toned,  Plus my bottom does feel more toned too.


I still find these trainers incredibly comfortable and they haven’t rubbed once even whilst running. They still smell beautifully fresh thanks to the anti bacterial sole and have kept there shape which is great with me having such narrow feet. I’ve had to wash them once as well due to running in the rain (that’s British weather for you) and I found that they dried fast and still kept there shape which I usually find quite unusual .


I feel that the shoes offered a lot of support whilst running and I could notice the tension that they have added to the sole to create resistant as I felt off balance a few times whilst on pavements. I felt that I had to work harder by tightening up my legs in order to counter act that which probably added to the overall intensity of my workout.


Overall I would highly recommend these trainers to anyone looking for an easier way to tone up and I found them perfect to use in conjunction with running and other forms of exercise.
