Shoes & Calories

Did you know different types of shoes make you consume different amount of calory?

① FLAT SHOES : 220kcal

When you are walking on flat shoes, you skip the work where your front foot pushes the floor, and the muscle of your thigh and butt gets stimulated. Walking on flat shoes for an hour takes away 220kcal which is less than other types of shoes. However, you can walk much longer on them because they are so comfortable!!

Tip : When you are going shopping or walking a long distance, wear flat shoes! Your feet won't get tired much even after hours, and you will be still able to walk around with the same pace and good posture. :)

② FLAT-FORM SHOES / WEDGE HEELS : 228kcal

Like flat-form shoes or wedge heels, those with some height on the front part give less pressure and work on your foot, giving an effect of looking much taller! They take away less calory than high heels do, but, with higher front, they make you use the back of your thigh muscle which you don't use much while walking on other shoes.

Tip: This type of shoes is good for those with bumpy cellulite on back of the thigh and butt and also for those who want to have an effect of taller look but feel uncomfortable with high heels!

When you are buying these shoes, feel the floor of the front part if it's soft n cushiony. This will make your feet much less tired :)

③ HIGH HEELS : 312kcal

When you are wearing high heels, trying to balance the centre of your body which tends to lean forward, your whole leg muscle gets stimulated and tightened. This effect works even when you are standing still on high heels. For an hour,walking around on high heels, you consume as much as 312kcal!!! Also, while you are trying to balance your body on high heels, pushing your chest forward and your butt backward, your bodyshape becomes 'S'-shape! ;)

Tip: If you feel too uncomfortable and tired with high heels, get those with thicker heels which give less pressure on your body!

④ BOOTS : 264kcal

One of the must-have items for winter, stylish & warm boots also have diet effect! Usually, boots don't fit perfectly on your foot, holding it tight like other shoes. With this fact, while you're walking around, without knowing, you put tension on your toes not to let the boot slip off. The stimulated muscle on your toes and foot sends tension all the way up to your front thigh, making your leg slimmer.

Tip: Boots are perfect for those who don't like showing their calves but want slimmer and taller look! :)

The calories showing on the above may vary little according to the height or shape of shoes.
