MBT

You’ve probably heard of MBT shoes, the “anti-shoe” that replicates barefoot walking on soft, natural ground, which is supposed to provide a natural shock absorbing effect, increased muscle tone, better posture and more.  The health benefits touted by MBT shoes - along with similar fitness footwear like FitFlops, Skechers Shapeups and Earth Exerfit - are certainly impressive, but not entirely proven.  So, the question remains - do they actually work?  This article I found called Shoes That Help You Lose Weight? discusses the conflicting opinions on this subject.

TheraShoe

Not to mention, these shoes are quite expensive compared to most regular walking shoes or flip flops.  MBT shoes are usually in the range of $250, while Skechers Shapeups are typically $100 and FitFlops are $50-$60 (although I have seen FitFlops for $25 on sale).  If you’re already convinced of their fat-burning power, these shoes could most definitely be worth the money.  But, if you’re a bit on the fence, you might be glad to hear about an inexpensive MBT knockoff on the market called TheraShoe.  The TheraShoe website essentially boasts the same benefits as other fitness footwear, but they are sold at a fraction of the cost.  TheraShoe styles are sold exclusively at Kmart for $19.99 to $34.99 and there are a few different styles to choose from - sneaker, clog, bootie and even a flip flop that looks just like the FitFlop (but these are virtually sold out).  I can’t vouch for the differences in the more expensive brands versus TheraShoe, but it’s a good option for anyone who wants to give fitness footwear a try on the cheap.

Get an additional 10% off any shoes order at Kmart, including TheraShoe, using coupon code SHOES10P until 1/31/10.

6pm has another really good sale on their selection of Keen shoes, most of which are $24.95 each.  That’s a great price for this brand and the savings reach up to 80%.  One of my faves is the Keen Malibu (pictured). Shipping adds $6.95 and the sale ends 10/11/09.

The shoe sales keep coming today!  New Sears coupon code ATRIUMSHOES20 takes an additional 20% off any shoes and also makes shipping free.  It applies to regular, sale and clearance prices, although a few exclusions apply.  Some notable pairs (after discount) are the Mia Amore Sharona boot for $31.99, Skechers Extreme in black and white for $31.99, Adidas Duramo athletic shoes in white/crystal for $23.99 and many more.  Coupon expires 10/15/09.
