Can £80 Shoes Bee Good For The Body & Sole, The Sun Newspaper

A new generation of footwear claims to burn extra calories, correct bad posture and even make you run faster.
With techniques including adjustable insoles and variable-height heels, they are certainly futuristic - but are they any good?

Chung Shi - Claim Combats cellulite and improves core stability and posture with a built-in "pilates system". Price £129. Sammy says: Will help improve core stability but not great for weak ankles. Mike says: Feels like a good workout but they pull on calves and hamstrings. Rating 6.5/10

SpringBoost Shoes - Claim: Trims and tones. Increases the calories you burn and enables you to run faster. Price £79.95. Sammy says: Adds extra dimension to workout but not for everyone. Mike Says: Adjustable insoles help with Achilles problems but sole is like wood. Rating 4.5/10

Masai Barefoot Technology (MBTs) - Claim ones muscles, improving strength, balance and co-ordination. Price £129. Sammy says: Encourage proper walking and work core but no good for workout. Mike says: Make you stand straight and good for easing ankle and foot pain. Rating 8/10

Earth Shoes - Claim: Corrects posture, circulation and muscle tone. Burns three times more calories than average trainer with 3.7" incline in shoe. Price £115.
