Champion Pace Fitness Shoe Review

Ever since the release of fitness shoes, such as the Reebok EasyTone and Skecher Shape-Ups, Ive been intrigued by the claims of increased muscle tone, but Ive been too cheap to lay out $100 buckaroos to test either of them out.

So you can imagine how excitedI was to be asked to test out the new Champion Pace Fitness Athletic Shoes that Payless Shoe Source is now selling for only $39.99!

The first time I wore these shoes, I felt a tinge of vertigo as the curved sole creates a natural heel-to-toe rocking motion that encourages muscle toning by creating a slight instability. But I havent felt the dizziness since that first day.

I definitely feel my muscles getting a workout every time I walk in them now!It starts in my calves and goes all the way up my thighs into my buttocks!I believe they are only made for walking in, and not to be run in (which is fine by me).

My boyfriend, who has been leery of them from the get-go thinking they are all a marketing ploy, actually commented that I stand up straighter when I wear them!Even last week, I asked one of the nurses at my daughters doctor office who was wearing them how she liked hers.She said they got rid of her back pain and make her stand up straighter, too.And being short, she liked that they made her appear taller!

They arent the cutest in appearance, but besides white/silver (like mine shown above), they come in light blue, they are still better looking than the Skecher Shape-ups (and way less expensive).And who really is going to be looking at your shoes while you walk?And for $39.99 (available from Payless.com) the price is right, so you cant go wrong!
