Easytone vs. Runtone

In the previous blog, the Skecher Shape-Ups were discussed and they were being compared to the Reebok Easy Tones as being more fashionable, while, in all reality, basically accomplishing the same goal, which is to tone the lower body without having to work out, all that you have to do, really, is walk around in the shoes. How could exercising possibly become easier than this?
In this blog, I will be comparing the Reebok Easy Tones to the Reebok Run Tones; from the titles, you can probably figure out what they have both been originally created for and intended to be used for.
First of all, both of the shoes contain a balance ball technology; however, the Easy Tones contain a larger ball because they are a walking shoe, and because of this, the imbalance is greater in order to make sure that the lower body is put to work. On the other side of things, the Run Tones contain smaller balance balls, but a greater number of them. These balls are spread out evenly throughout the shoe to make sure that there is no great imbalance while running. Still, with the balance ball technology, the Run Tones still create enough instability to cause the legs to work harder while running.
Basically, the Easy Tones are only for walking, the imbalance is too great for running or jogging, the imbalance could cause injury if these were attempted while wearing these shoes.
