 | CHUNG SHI
The Chung Shi unique heel/toe design, combined with a center roll bar, supports the foot in a unique way that improves body alignment, and reduces stress and shock to the spine.
Chung-shi footwear have an uneven sole which forces you to walk with a heel to toe action improving your natural walking gait. They make walking and running more dynamic and help with posture, muscle toning and core stability.
The only health shoe on the market to include a built in pilates system and reflexology bar.
Standing Positions:
Stand on the heel of the shoe with both feet facing forward about hip width apart. This will force the body into an upright position, subsequently improving your posture by engaging the core muscles and lengthening the calf muscles.
Stand on the front of the shoe and take the weight slightly off the toes, to balance in the centre. This position will activate previously neglected muscles, but may take a little practice.
Walking:
Walk with a heel to toe action, rolling from the back to the front of your shoe. Take small steps keeping your feet under your body. When walking faster do not stride out, instead move your feet more quickly (as similar to speed walking).
You will feel a ledge in the centre of your shoe which is a reflexology point, directly stimulating your blood flow and circulation.
