			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/champion_toning_shoes.jpg"><img src="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/champion_toning_shoes.jpg" alt="Cheap toning shoes from champion" title="champion_toning_shoes" width="300" height="300" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1440" /></a>Champion toning shoes offer the same muscle toning benefits as the big name brands, but at a much cheaper price. If you are in two minds about whether or not to try out toning shoes, Champion could well be the answer.<br/><br />
The low price is enough to convince many people to try out toning shoes for the first time, without having to spend a small fortune for a pair of top of the range body shaping shoes. Judging by the reports from the many happy customers, you&#8217;ll be unlikely to go back to standard sneakers again!</p>
<h2>Why Buy Toning Shoes?</h2>
<p>There are two main reasons why people purchase toning shoes. </p>
<h3>Body Toning</h3>
<p>Toning plays a big part in the decision to purchase, and the promise of a better body without so much effort is a huge plus. The shoes help to stimulate the muscles in the feet for better conditioning, they get the calves and hamstrings working harder, and the buttocks get a targeted workout.</p>
<h3>Posture Correction and Comfort</h3>
<p>For many people, it is comfort which is the driving factor behind a purchase, with the toning effects a nice bonus. What toning shoes such as Champion offer is a highly cushioned walk, posture correction, and a design which takes the shock waves out of walking for pain free joints. <br/><br />
The shoes offer the barefoot walking in soft sand sensation, with the heel well cushioned, the arches well supported, and the feet getting a thorough workout. The pain relief that shoes such as these offer is extraordinary, with joint pain becoming a thing of the past, back pain can be eradicated and the whole body is left feeling invigorated.<br />
<a href="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/champion-pace-fitness.png"><img src="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/champion-pace-fitness-300x190.png" alt="pace fitness toning shoes" title="champion-pace-fitness" width="300" height="190" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1441" /></a><br />
With so many aches and pains due to poor posture and battered joints, it’s no surprise that the shoes offer exceptional comfort when the posture is corrected and the shock waves dampened.</p>
<h2>Champion Toning Shoes Technology</h2>
<p>Champion toning shoes use both the instability pod and the rocker bottom design in their toning shoes range. Both technologies serve to get the muscles working harder by introducing instabilities when walking, and can add up to 30% more toning to the lower body. Many women prefer instability pod shoes due to the lower profile design which the technology allows. Champion offers this style in their Stride Fitness range.</p>
<h2>Champion Stride Fitness</h2>
<p><a href="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/champion-stride-fitness.png"><img src="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/champion-stride-fitness-300x172.png" alt="Stride fitness from Champion" title="champion-stride-fitness" width="300" height="172" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1442" /></a>Champion Stride Fitness shoes use Air Traverse Technology to get the muscles working harder. Air-filled pods are located under the heel and the forefoot which create an unstable base when walking. As the heel strikes, air is pushed into the forefoot pod causing instabilities to be created underfoot. The body responds by firing more muscles to maintain balance, helping to tone the calves, hamstrings and buttocks much faster than with standard shoes. Ultra Foam in the midsole provides exceptional cushioning from the shockwaves of walking, with a highly supportive fit for long term comfort. </p>
<h2>Champion Rocker Bottom Technology</h2>
<p>For maximum cushioning and the best range of wellness benefits, the rocker bottom design is the best choice. It’s true you will stand taller due to the posture correction which straightens the spine; however the 1 ¾ inch platform of foam rubber certainly helps too. <br/><br />
Whilst many women and men are put off by the design, there is no arguing that they are the most comfortable style of toning shoes to wear, and provide a exceptionally well cushioned walk. If you suffer from back pain, aching muscles, tired legs and feet, the Pace Fitness models with the rocker bottom design are the best bet.</p>
<h2>Champion Pace Fitness</h2>
<p>Champion Pace Fitness shoes feature a dynamic rocker bottom to create an unstable base which helps to generate more muscle activity throughout the lower body when walking. The curved outsole starts a smooth heel to toe roll which stretches the muscles and ligaments in the feet, and introduces small instabilities to get the lower body working harder. <br/><br />
Midfoot overlays keep the foot secure to prevent lateral rolling for added stability and a robust rubber outsole offers excellent traction. The shoes help to correct the posture and give the blood circulation a boost, with the whole of the lower body working harder with each step.</p>
<h2>Buy the Cheapest Toning Shoes Online</h2>
<p>Without the huge marketing spend of the big name brands, the savings can be passed onto customers with some of the best prices for toning shoes you are likely to find.You will not get the extensive selection of highly fashionable styles as you will from the likes of FitFlop, Reebok Easytones or Shape ups, but you will get an attractive athletic shoe with all of the wellness and toning benefits.<br/><br />
If you thought you had to spend $80-$100 to get a pair of toning shoes, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with Champion toning shoes prices.<br/><br />
The majority of the range is available for under $40 a pair, with few retailers selling these now. The only one I think! You can access them on the link below<br/><br />
<a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3866212-10401530?cm_mmc=CJ-_-2910104-_-3866212-_-Payless%20ShoeSource%20-%20FREE%20In-Store%20Delivery!" target="_top">Payless ShoeSource &#8211; FREE In-Store Delivery!</a><img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-3866212-10401530" width="1" height="1" border="0"/><br/><br />
And with prices this low, maybe it’s time to see what all the fuss is about and try out the latest fitness sensation for yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/nike-air-pegasus281.jpg"><img src="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/nike-air-pegasus281-300x293.jpg" alt="Nike Air Pegasus+ 28" title="nike-air-pegasus28" width="300" height="293" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1428" /></a>It’s been a while since I have last blogged on footwear as unfortunately time has not been kind to me. However a new model of running shoe has forced me to commit some time and put my virtual pen to paper again, and that is the Nike Air Pegasus+ 28.<br/><br />
I have never been much a fan of Nike running shoes, not that there is anything wrong with them of course, just that I have always gone for other brands. When I run I tend to go off road and Merrell has long been my favourite brand for venturing off the beaten track. However for road running, I am sure that the latest Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 is the way forward. <br/><br />
A look at Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 reviews online should help to convince you about the quality of these running shoes, as they almost universally get 5 stars out of 5 across the board. Provided that you are not prone to severe <a href="http://www.overpronation.org">overpronation</a> these shoes are undoubtedly one of the best choices out there, In fact even if your running gait leans towards <a href="http://www.underpronation.org">underpronation</a> these shoes are one of the best choices thanks to the lightweight design and the excellent cushioning that they offer. The Nike Air Vomero 6 is usually the first choice of Nike supination shoes due to the excellent cushioning they offer, but some may find the midsoles a little bit too soft in the Vomero, especially for longer distance running and if you like really clock up the miles each week.  The Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 offers a similar feel, and is plenty soft underfoot and rates very well for shock absorption although a little firmer than the Nike Vomero. If you have previously always gone for the Nike Vomero or the Brooks Ghost range, this will be a great alternative for you (and dare I say an even better choice!). <br/><br />
You will certainly appreciate how the Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 feels underfoot, especially if you like to crank up the miles. For the bigger runner these are also an excellent choice; if your current running shoes start out fine but tend to lose a lot of the comfort halfway through your run, the Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 could be just what you have been looking for. Most running shoes require a little breaking in before they get comfortable, but with the Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 you get excellent comfort straight out of the box. <br/><br />
Nike are known for their compressed air cushioning in the middle of the shoes, but for the Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 they have added it to the heel as well. If you are a heel striker you will certainly get the benefit and a ultra cushioned ride, and the external heel counter will make sure that your heels remain secure.</p>
<h2>So What Does the Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 Offer?</h2>
<p>The Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 is not hat dissimilar to last year’s 27 model, but it has been enhanced, is a little lighter, and the fit and tech does make a difference. You will get a Flywire panel on the midfoot for a start with the 28. The Flywire is made out of hard wearing Nylon which gives it considerable strength and ensures the foot is well supported: however it has enabled Nike to keep the weight down.  The Flywire used to be used solely for the latest designs and for the top of the range models, but this 28 year old stahlwart now gets the full benefits of this support system. <br/><br />
The Nike Air Pegasus+ 28  is pretty lightweight too at just 11.4 ounces in the men’s model, with the Flywire panel helping on that score. The Nike Zoom unit also allows a weight saving to be made without making a compromise on comfort. The Nike Zoon gives you full length cushioning but has a low profile design to save weight and height, and is responsive and soft underfoot. As for traction, you don’t have to worry about whether it’s wet or dry. The Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 has a waffle sole unit which will cope when it gets a little wet, and it offers great durability. You should get to see a good number of miles of running with these shoes and the BRS 1000 carbon rubber in the heel is particularly hard wearing.<br />

<script type="text/javascript"

</script></center><br />
Comfort-wise the Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 is first rate thanks to the notched inner sleeve giving it a really snug fit, and flex grooves in the forefoot make for a natural feel. The flex grooves ensure that the shoes are highly flexible – great for underpronation and supination – and encourage a natural movement of the feet. However there is some torsional rigidity to the shoes which helps to support the ankles; a Godsend on long runs. <br/><br />
Moisture management is first rate, and due to the ultra lightweight construction the Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 they are a great choice for spring and summer running.  As for the looks, you really can’t fault them, and since they are Nike, you get a great choice of colors to choose from to mix and match with your exercise kit. Neutral running shoes do not get much better than this, and for the supinator, slight overpronator and neutral runner you really can’t go wrong with the Nike Air Pegasus+ 28.<br/><br />
It’s hard to fault the Nike Air Pegasus+ 28, and if forced to come up with a down point I would say that it’s a bit of a cheek that you have to buy the Nike+ sensor separately. If you can live without your shoes connecting to your iPod then I guess it’s not too much of a criticism. The Nike + sensor will only cost you another 10-20 dollars so it is not exactly going to break the bank, which I guess is why I think it’s a bit of a cheek not to include it as standard. Oh well. I guess you can’t have everything.</p>

<li>Heel strikers</li>
<li>Beginners to running</li>
<li>Supinators</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>OK, this post has nothing to do with footwear or fitness, nor does it deal with improving your health. However I felt that I had to comment on SOPA and PIPA to help to explain why this new legislation is so bad.<br/></p>
<h2>PROTESTS ABOUT SOPA AND PIPA ARE NOT ABOUT ALLOWING INTERNET PIRACY</h2>
<p>To the casual observer it would appear that the opposition to these bills is coming from software pirates and illegal downloaders, who are objecting to their illegal file sharing being made more difficult. However this is not the case. Besides,SOPA and PIPA will not stop people from illegally downloading, and it will be just as easy to do so if this legislation is passed (more about that later)</p>
<p>The problem with SOPA and PIPA is how it will change the internet, and what powers will be given to control how the internet operates. You see it is not what this legislation sets out to stop, but the phraseology of the legislation that is the problem. The legislation is very loose about the steps which will be possible if this legislation comes into effect. Politicians may well claim that they would not introduce legislation that prevents freedom of expression on the internet, but that is exactly what this bill will make perfectly legal. If these bills are passed in their current forms, we will all have to rely on politicians to stick to their words, when the law will be quite clear that they do not need to.</p>
<p>But we all know that politicians are honest and have integrity right? I mean Barack Obama has done everything that he claimed that he would do right? Guantanamo Bay after all is now closed, there is a healthcare system in the USA that all Americans can be proud of, military action was authorized in Libya after congressional approval, Sudan was brought to justice for genocide in Darfur, and NASA&#8217;s manned space missions are still alive and kicking right? Exactly.</p>
<p>Now with a law in place that makes u-turns perfectly legal, you can see why there is such concern is about this new legislation.</p>
<p><H2>Similarities With The Criminal Justice Bill (1994) in the UK</H2></p>
<p>Cast your minds back a few years to when John Major was in power in the UK. Youngsters up and down the country were reveling at outdoor parties and raves (how terrible!). This freedom needed to be curbed according to the government, and new laws were required to curb trespassing an illegal partying. The police needed more power. Enter The Criminal Justice Bill. The Criminal Justice Bill (1994) was &#8216;conceived to stop illegal raves and parties&#8217;, and the bill gave the police new powers to stop potential revelers and prevent them from organizing raves and outdoor parties. The youth were up in arms about the invasion of civil liberties; however it was the extent of this bill that was the real problem, and not what appeared at face value to be a legitimate addition into UK law (apparently).</p>
<p>The phraseology of this bill was of course the problem, as it gave the police the power to stop (and search) and disband anyone who they believed was going to hold an outdoor party. This meant that more than two people (I.E 3 people) together with a music system, could be potential ravers who could be stopped. The bill made it illegal for three people to meet in a park with a music system, and that the police were given powers to disband them or even arrest them, for that became illegal. Of course we can all rely on the discretion of the police not to abuse any powers that they are given.</p>
<p>The law meant that a birthday party could be disbanded, and was illegal under the new legislation. According to a very good article in The Guardian&#8230;.<br/><br />
The legislation &#8220;can now be used to foreclose a birthday party&#8221; and this &#8220;should serve as a stark warning to those currently considering a raft of other illiberal legislation&#8221;.<br/></p>
<blockquote><p>When legislation gives excessive powers to the state, those powers will eventually be used. When hard-won liberties are stripped away with a stroke of the monarch&#8217;s pen, they may never return.</p>
<p>Those of us who organized against the criminal justice bill back in 1994 may have been disorganized and disheveled. We may have been idealistic, and we may have been naive. But for all that, we were right</p></blockquote>
<p><a title="Criminal Justice Bill UK (1994)" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/libertycentral/2009/jul/21/criminal-justice-bill-protests" target="_blank">Read the full article</a></p>
<h2>So What Does This New SOPA and PIPA Legislation Actually Mean?</h2>
<p>I think you have already got my point, so I would like to take this opportunity to introduce a video. It explains the problems with SOPA and PIPA far more eloquently that I can put it, besides it uses video and that is better than text on this occasion.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/31100268?byline=0&amp;portrait=0" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>
<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/31100268">PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/fightforthefuture">Fight for the Future</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
</p>
<p>You should be opposed to this bill if you like your freedom, and even if you think that illegal downloaders should be brought to justice. Us protesters do not want to allow people to break the law, nor to be able to steal web content, movies, files and music without consequences. We want the legislation to be changed and/or the vocabulary to be tightened up. None of us trust politicians to stick to their word, and to quote the Guardian again&#8230;<br/></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">&#8220;When legislation gives excessive powers to the state, those powers will eventually be used&#8221;</h2>
<p><br/></p>
<p>And finally, will this legislation actually stop illegal downloaders? Of course it wont!<br/><br />
<strong>Why will it not work?</strong><br/><br />
Because you will still be able to access the sites which will be banned or shut down, by typing in the IP address of the site rather than the domain name. As such this bill will do nothing to stop what it actually sets out to do.<br/><br />
<strong>So what is left?</strong><br/><br />
A whole host of new laws to allow governments (not just the USA) to have some worrying powers when it comes to the internet.<br/><br />
Now, tell me that the loose wording of the legislation is not deliberate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Skechers and its Shape Ups brand has dropped the super toned body of Kim Kardashian for this year’s Superbowl advertising campaign. Last year’s Superbowl advertisements featured the lithe, perspiring, sexy bodied starlet Kim Kardashian who was clearly hot stuff in 2011. However Skechers have decided that her talents are superfluous to their requirements, and have chosen to replace her with a dog for this years campaign. Ill avoid the obvious gag.</p>
<p><a href="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/kim-kardashian-french-bulldog.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1399" title="kim-kardashian-french-bulldog" src="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/kim-kardashian-french-bulldog-300x194.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="194" /></a></p>
<p>According to Skechers, Kim’s talents are still of interest, and the suggestion that she has been dropped has been denied by Skechers. &#8220;To say that she was &#8216;dropped&#8217; or &#8220;replaced&#8217; is misleading and untrue &#8230;  in fact we continue to discuss ways that we may work together in the future.&#8221; Say Skechers in a company statement. Regardless of how it is phrased, Kim Kardashian is not in this year’s Superbowl campaign and appears to have been ‘replaced’ by a French Bulldog.</p>
<p>The Superbowl may be a little way off, but the latest advert has already been causing controversy. This time it is not for sexiness, objectifying women or for pushing sneakers on young girls, but the fact that the latest Skechers advert features greyhound racing.</p>
<p>Skechers are not adverse to whipping up a frenzy of criticism. The Skechers Kim Kardashian Ad last year certainly got pulses racing for the men, but the adverts were not so well received by everyone. Her body beautiful was criticized for being a little bit too sexy for some tastes.</p>
<p>Not satisfied with the small uproar that surrounded the Kim Kardashian advert, Skechers then launched their Shapeups for Girls range. This was much more controversial, with websites and mums groups all across the States up in arms about sexualizing young girls and instilling low self esteem and body image issues in girls as young as 7. The criticism was somewhat unfounded it has to be said, but the launch certainly made Skechers hit the headlines again.</p>
<p>Now that the country has calmed down somewhat over the bouncy Skechers Shape ups for pre-teens, Skechers has now really gone to the dogs with this year’s Superbowl advert. Greyhound racing features in the latest Skechers GoRun campaign, and while the association is sound, the protests have already started. Greyhound racing is regarded as being cruel to animals, so much so, that it is banned in 38 States. Associating with a banned sport is a definite ‘no go area’ according to many people in the USA. The advert features a French Bulldog in Skechers Go Run shoes competing with the big dogs, and holding its own in a greyhound race. The advert was shot at Tucson Greyhound Park.</p>
<div id="attachment_1401" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/skechers-gorun-running-shoes.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1401" title="skechers-gorun-running-shoes" src="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/skechers-gorun-running-shoes-300x300.jpg" alt="Skechers GoRun Shoes" width="300" height="300" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Skechers GoRun Shoes without the Dogs</p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>With the latest advert, Skechers have once again made it onto Change.org due to their advertising campaign, with yet another petition underway to get Skechers to pull the Ad (The Skechers for Girls also attracted a petition on the site). So far, the greyhound protection group GREY2K USA has amassed 105,000 signatures in favor of pulling the advert.</p>
<p>According to GREY2K USA President Christine Dorchak, “Skechers should not be partnering with Tucson Greyhound Park, which has an extensive record of cruelty.” However Skechers explains the thinking behind the advert  in USA Today as it being &#8220;simply a metaphor for a remarkable, underdog achievement.&#8221; According to Leonard Armato, President of Skechers Fitness.</p>
<p>If you want the advert pulled, you know where to put your name. If you just think it’s a bit of harmless advertising, you’ll probably get to see it if you tune in to this year’s Superbowl. Interestingly, making a French Bulldog run in GoRun shoes does not amount to animal cruelty. Provided that, unlike the greyhounds, the cage in which it is kept is large.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/trimsole-bumpers-728.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1364" title="trimsole-bumpers-728" src="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/trimsole-bumpers-728.jpg" alt="Trimsole Bumpers Released in the UK" width="510" height="127" /></a>The Trimsole collection is perfect for summer with the cool range of <a title="Trimsole sandals" href="http://michifus.hubpages.com/hub/Trimsolesandals" target="_blank">Trimsole sandals</a>, and great for midwinter with warm and toasty <a href="http://michifus.hubpages.com/hub/Trimsole-Boots-Autumn-Winter-2011">Trimsole boots</a>, but these are both one season shoes, possibly 2 at a push. The latest Trimsole trainers have the same benefits as the sandals which launched the range, but have a design which is much better suited for year round use.</p>
<p>Trimsole Bumpers are the first trainers released by the toning shoe company, and the latest release offers a smart casual style for maximum wear-ability, for both casual wear and the office. Trimsole Bumpers have been released in four colours in the UK, with black, brown and grey models to suit most work outfits, and funky red for the evenings and weekends.</p>
<p>As with all shoes in the UK Trimsole range, the latest Trimsole Bumpers feature a Trim-Tech midsole which helps to get the lower body into better shape, by increasing muscle activation. The triple density midsole helps to cushion the heel properly, it eases the strain on the bones in the feet, and generates <a title="Trimsole Bumpers" href="http://www.shapeshoes.net/trimsole-bumpers/" target="_blank">muscle activating instabilities</a> throughout the stride to improve toning. The bum and legs get more of a workout when walking, the blood circulation gets a boost, and the feet are allowed to move in a much more natural manner, with foot muscle activation augmented to improve conditioning and help stave off foot problems. The latest Trimsole trainers also encourage better posture helping to ease the strain on the joints.</p>
<p><a href="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/trimsole-bumpers-trainers.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1367" title="trimsole-bumpers-trainers" src="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/trimsole-bumpers-trainers.jpg" alt="Trimsole trainers" width="300" height="300" /></a>Trimsole Bumpers are smart enough to match up with a pair of trousers, but casual enough to pair up with a pair of jeans. They are lightweight and breathable and have a microfiber lining so are great for warmer weather, yet the faux leather uppers are robust and hard wearing for autumn and winter wear. For grip you can count on a thermoplastic rubber outsole ,which is robust enough to cope with the winter weather, yet flexible enough to allow your feet to move naturally.</p>
<p>If you want the full benefits of a pair of smart toning shoes, yet don&#8217;t want to have to break the bank, Trimsole Bumpers are a great choice. You get a high quality construction, great comfort, and the natural microfiber lining keeps the feet breathing to stay cool and comfortable when the temperature picks up.</p>
<p>Trimsole Bumpers are a great new addition to the Trimsole range, and at £49.99 they are an absolute steal.</p>
<p>Pick up your own pair while stocks last on the link below:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Reebok Easytone claims are set to skyrocket following Wednesdays ruling by the FTC that their adverts were misleading. Reebok were asked to back up their claims that Reebok Easytone shoes reach the parts other shoes don’t reach, and they were not able to provide sufficient evidence to back up their claims of 28% more muscle activation in the buttocks, 11% in the thighs and 11% in the calves is possible in the shoes.<br/><br />
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) decision led to Reebok agreeing to a $25 million dollars settlement, with the funds available for refunds to customers who feel that they have been misled by the Reebok Easytone adverts. Reebok Easytone claims are possible through the FTC directly or through a court-approved class action lawsuit. <br/><br />
The adverts became an instant hit for their risqué style, flaunting copious amounts of finely-toned flesh, with camera angles focusing on bottoms and thighs, with the primetime campaign certainly having a big impact on viewers.  Whilst the adverts were visually stunning and a big hit, the FTC ruled that without concrete evidence to back up the claims, they were in breach of advertising regulations. Reebok has since withdrawn the adverts. <br/></p>
<blockquote><p> The FTC wants national advertisers to understand that they must exercise some responsibility and ensure that their claims for fitness gear are supported by sound science,” said David Vladeck, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.</p></blockquote>
<p>according to the FTC website. The FTC also announce that &#8230;<br/></p>
<blockquote><p> The FTC’s complaint also alleges that Reebok falsely claimed that walking in EasyTone footwear had been proven to lead to 28 percent more strength and tone in the buttock muscles, 11 percent more strength and tone in the hamstring muscles, and 11 percent more strength and tone in the calf muscles than regular walking shoes</p></blockquote>
<p>Whilst Reebok may have been a little over the top with its claims, the company message apparently has not changed. According to Reebok&#8217;s Daniel Sarro &#8220;Settling does not mean we agree with the FTC’s allegations; we do not. We have received overwhelmingly enthusiastic feedback from thousands of EasyTone customers, and we remain committed to the further development of our EasyTone line of products&#8221;<br/><br />
Unfortunately, whilst that may well be the case it looks unlikely that without solid evidence that their toning shoes work, that they will top the sales lists again, certainly not without some serious hard science to back up their shoes. <br/><br />
If you feel cheated by Reebok and want a refund, Reebok Easytone claims can be made by filling out an application form on the following link: <a href="https://cert.gardencitygroup.com/rbk/fs/ftc-1" target="_blank">https://cert.gardencitygroup.com/rbk/fs/ftc-1</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/ped-egg-corn-callus-remover.jpg"><img src="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/ped-egg-corn-callus-remover.jpg" alt="Ped Egg Review" title="ped-egg-corn-callus-remover" width="300" height="300" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1336" /></a>Every now and again a great product gets advertised on late night TV and the shopping channels which is actually rather good, and is worth making a bit of a song and dance about, or in my case, a poem<br/><br />
Its shaped like an egg<br />
Its good for your feet<br />
It fits into your hand a treat<br/><br />
It will banish hard skin<br />
Wear corns and calluses thin<br />
and will make your toes and feet look real neat<br/><br/><br />
Yes, the Ped Egg is here, or more accurately, my blog post is here, as the Ped Egg has been on the market for a little while now. <br/><br />
However since this gadget is new to me I thought I would write a few words about it because it really is quite a useful bit of kit, certainly if foot corns and calluses are the bane of your life. </p>
<h2>What’s All The Fuss About? </h2>
<p>Read all the marketing hype and you’ll discover that this home pedicure gadget is revolutionary. <br/><br />
It’s not. <br/><br />
It’s a foot file in the shape of an egg. That is certainly not enough to start a pedicure revolution in my book. However, the design is pretty cool, and since no one else has made a foot file in the shape of an egg before, I guess it is actually radically different. Maybe I’ll take that back. It is small revolution in foot care.</p>
<h2>What Does the Ped Egg Do? </h2>
<p>Well it doesn’t actually do very much really, but what it does do, it does exceptionally well. That is, it grates the hard skin off your feet as easily as if it were made of cheese. <br/><br />
What makes the Ped Egg worthy of the poem and the write up is that it is incredibly easy to use, it fits into the palm of your hand really easily and comfortably, and it makes the laborious task of filing down hard skin from your feet much more pleasurable. Its ergonomic shape is great, but that egg shape also has another function, as it houses a secret compartment. You may fiddle a bit to get this Pandora ’s Box open, and when you do you will be rewarded with something quite horrible; all the shavings from your corns and callused skin. <br/><br />
This is the second great thing about the Ped Egg, as whilst it may not be pleasant to see your ex-corns and calluses in powdered form, it does mean that they don’t go all over the bathroom floor or down the back of the sofa – depending on where you chose to file your feet.  Perhaps this is the revolution. You can file down your feet anywhere in the house, much to the joy of your flatmates. When you are done, you can simply open it up and empty it into the bin.</p>
<h2>Does it do it well? </h2>
<p>I think you can guess the answer to this question, based on the fact I have written a poem about it. The answer is yes. It files down corns and calluses a treat, and when you get close to the live and healthy skin, you can then use the emery board part to finely get rid of the last little bits without having to risk grating off half of your foot. <br/><br />
What’s more, you don’t actually have to soak your feet beforehand. This makes it rather convenient, as you can just have a quick file whenever you have a couple of minutes spare, and don’t need to commit to a half hour of soaking first.  And besides, who wants to ruin the relaxing effect of a long bath by having to follow it up with half an hour of intense manual labor afterwards, as you would have to do with a standard foot file. Whenever you have a few minutes spare, just start to rub away and you will be rewarded with beautifully soft and sensitive feet again, certainly if you use the accompanying foot cream that come with the Ped Egg pack.  </p>
<h2>So it’s all great then? </h2>
<p>Well, it’s nearly all great. According to Amazon.com over 460 people have felt the need to write comments on the Ped Egg, which is a considerable amount of feedback it has to be said, especially when this gadget only costs $7 for the standard version.  When was the last time $7 inspired you to write anything online? What’s more it’s virtually all positive, with an average rating of over 4 stars. <br/><br />
However, whilst it’s ergonomic shape, shaving catcher and low price make this a brilliant buy, I still intend to pull it apart a little bit – although not enough to empty the shavings on the floor, mind you. <br/></p>
<div class="ad_left"><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=michifus.com-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B000J45DTU&#038;ref=tf_til&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></div>
<p>The ONLY down point is that whilst its one blade will cut away corns and calluses really well, it doesn’t stay sharp for that long. If your corns, calluses and hard skin return a few days after even a podiatrist’s visit (as most people’s do) you will need to replace the blades from time to time as they wear down. <br/><br />
The standard Ped Egg costs just $7 at the moment, but you really should spend $20 on the model that comes with 3 extra blades, as this will save you some money in the long run. This does not make it quite such a bargain, as you can pick up the Denco Professional Foot Smoother is just for just $18, and that should last a lifetime. <br/><br />
But&#8230;&#8230;.the Ped Egg is more comfortable to use than the Denco file, and for all its hardiness, the Denco Professional Foot Smoother will leave your floor looking like an overenthusiastic Italian waiter has grated his Parmesan cheese all over the place. </p>
<h2>Should you buy the Ped Egg?</h2>
<div class="ad_left"><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=michifus.com-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B0015UQBHU&#038;ref=tf_til&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></div>
<p>Well, you should get to a podiatrist and find out why you have corns on your feet and rock hard calluses, but assuming that you can’t afford foot surgery or custom orthotic insoles, yes, it’s a great buy.  Dare I say, an even better buy if you get it through this site!<br/><br />
Best Place to buy the Ped Egg? Try the picture link to the left for a great deal on Amazon but hurry, there were only 6 left in stock when I wrote this.<br/><br />
If you are too late, you can always buy the $7 one and get a pack of replacement blades to go with it. <br/><br />

<p>Trimsole was the footwear sensation of the summer with the stylish sandals working the parts of the body other sandals couldn’t reach, but now the nights are drawing in and the great British summer is long gone, the sandals are being put back into wardrobes until the spring. Does this spell the end of toning whilst walking for yet another year? Far from it, as the Trimsole Autumn/Winter 2011 collection has now been launched, bringing a plethora of new styles much better suited for dealing with autumn leaves and the coming bitter cold of midwinter.</p>
<h2>Trimsole Boots | Brand New Styles for 2011</h2>
<p>If you loved Trimsole sandals, you are sure to love Trimsole boots just as much. Trimsole boots offer the same great leg enhancing and muscle stimulating benefits of the sandals, but have a design much better suited to the weather in Britain for 90% of the year. <br/><br />
<a href="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/trimsole-boots-mia.jpg"><img src="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/trimsole-boots-mia-300x300.jpg" alt="All New Trimsole boots for 2011" title="trimsole-boots-mia" width="300" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1322" /></a>This year sees the launch of a brand new boot for dealing with anything the British weather can throw at you. Whilst the ankle boots are sexy and cute, the latest Trimsole Mia is certainly no slouch in the style stakes. These brand new calf boots have the look of leather although the PU upper is far more resilient when the heavens open. When the ground underfoot turns to mud and slush, the thermoplastic rubber outsole can still hold its own and is sure to keep you on your feet. As for dealing with the bitter cold, you have a sherling lining which is thick and warm and sure to keep the toes all toasty and warm. <br/><br />
Lookswise, these Trimsole boots are sure to win many fans with a style which looks great with jeans or jodhpurs, and not half bad with a pair of tights and a short skirt. The Mia has a stylish ankle buckle detail, and sold in both black and brown there is no winter outfit that couldn’t benefit with a pair of Trimsole boots like these. <br/><br />
It may be in with the new, but it’s certainly not out with the old, with the brown, tan and black Trimsole ankle boots just as stylish and snug and are perfect for keeping the legs trim throughout the colder months.</p>
<h2>Trimsole Ankle Boots </h2>
<p><div id="attachment_1323" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/trimsole-ankle-boots.jpg"><img src="http://michifus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/trimsole-ankle-boots.jpg" alt="Trimsole short boots" title="trimsole-ankle-boots" width="300" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-1323" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Trimsole Ankle Boots Better than Ever</p>
</div>If the look of leather is not your thing and you prefer sumptuous suede on your feet, these Trimsole boots will be right up your street. Whilst suede can be a nightmare to maintain and keep clean during winter, these synthetic suede boots still give that suede look, but with a little more resilience. <br/><br />
Ugg boots may be a good choice for winter but as comfortable as they are, they will do nothing for your bum and legs. Trimsole boots however will not let all the good work that you have put in over the summer go to waste, and will keep those thighs trim, the calves crunched and the bottom nice and pert, all with Trimsole’s great sense of style. <br/><br />
As with the Trimsole Mia, you have a plush trim for style, but these Trimsole boots have a super soft Teddy lining which is sure to keep your extremities nice and warm on a cold winter’s day. The trim runs down the side of the boots which adds to their great looks, and the ankle creases are a great touch. As with the latest Mia boots, these babies look fantastic with any outfit, and are a dream with jeans and a nice sexy touch when paired with a short skirt and tights. Get these cool <a href="http://michifus.hubpages.com/hub/Trimsole-Boots-Autumn-Winter-2011" title="Trimsole boots" target="_blank">Trimsole boots</a> on your feet, and it’s likely that you’ll want to wear nothing else. Although for modesty sake, we wouldn’t recommend that.  </p>
<h2>Underfoot Comfort</h2>
<p>It’s not all about looks and muscle toning, as Trimsole boots are also incredibly comfortable to wear thanks to a squishy EVA foam rubber midsole. This lightweight material is responsible for taking the sting out of walking on frozen winter ground, and makes every step super comfortable as well as helping you to get a much better looking lower half. <br/><br />
 With great style and looks, a high quality construction, and impressive wellness benefits, you may think that Trimsole boots will cost a small fortune, but you might be surprised at the great prices of these winter warmers. The chic ankle boots will set you back a mere £49.95 a pair and the latest Trimsole Mia are even better value at just £44.95. <br/><br />
Pick up a pair of your own Trimsole boots and snug toasty toes and a firmer lower half can be yours for less than a night out on the town and a taxi home, and will last a hell of a lot longer that your hangover! <br/></p>
