does anyone have a pair or know anyone that does? Do they work? I saw some the other day as I want to casual shoes for walking round in and thought what a great idea but am not keen to spend that much money if they don't actually do what they say they do.
Thanks heaps for any input |

I was looking at getting some but also would like to know if anyone has used them & if they liked them first.
I rang up the NZ number for them & was told that you can not run in them as you will fall on your face. Now I am not a runner but I used to break in to a little jog when out walking with the pram so not sure if they would be good for the big walks. |

They work on the balance ball principal.
So you have to use your core to help stabilize you as the soles are not flat like a normal pair of shoes. I wouldnt fork out that much money ... you might as well get yourself a duradisc for a fraction of the price and stand on it while watching tv.  ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!
