The toning or unstable shoes are becoming more popular lately and the market leader is the MBT Shoes. They were first on the market and were manufactured with a rocker sole to increase the muscular effort needed to walk and run. This is claimed to get an extra workout and help you tone up the muscles more. Laboratory based research have shown that they do achieve this in most cases, but there is no research from clinical outcome based research yet.
