RE: Research on Toning Shoes (Arnold Ross, DPM)
From: Cam White

Many of the popular brands of "toning shoes" (Skechers, MBT, Reebok) are designed to induce instability in all planes of motion. They may not be suited for people with ligament laxity or unstable ankles. Some rocker sole shoes (Ryn, Finn Comfort "Finnamic", Sano by Mephisto, etc.) offer exceptional medial/lateral stability, with added depth to accept foot orthotics, if needed. I produced a short video a few months ago, geared toward the consumer, that compares and contrasts "unstable" vs. "stable" rocker sole shoes. Click here for the video.
