What: Earth Elara Sandals
Why: Around this time last year we did a
Trend Alert on fitness shoes that tone your legs with each step you take—think
MBTs
and
FitFlops
—and the trend is still going strong. It’s no surprise; who doesn’t want sexy legs?
Here’s another shoe to add to your arsenal of fitness shoes, and it’s not as obvious as the other two. The
Earth Elara Sandal
looks like an ordinary leather sandal, but it’s anything but. Using a negative heel technology that places your toes higher than your heel, it forces you to push a little harder to step forward, giving your calves a good workout and making you burn more calories. Another benefit is that you stand a little taller and straighter. You’ll feel good wearing them right out of the box. Imagine all this, and no one would even know. You can sneak in a workout even when you’re dressed in a cute summer dress.
Choose from red, brown, black and white.
