While I believe there are many useful products and services to help achieve fitness and wellness goals, at the core are healthy eating and physical fitness. Since January is the time when we often focus on the goals we’d like accomplish in the new year, I thought it would be fitting to talk about crocs new line of shoes, called tone.
In the fall, crocs released their new line of shoes designed to give you the benefit of toning while retaining the comfort you expect from the brand. The innovation behind the creation of the shoe lies in the sole. The outsole is sculpted to create a rocker effect while walking, the sole itself includes a toning ring to provide stability and support, and the lightweight croslite footbed with circulation nubs offers comfort.
crocs tone is offered in four fashionable styles, including the skylar flat style which I received to try out. The shoe is lightweight, comfortable, breathable and fashionable. While I do find the shoe to be supportive, I don’t notice a significant amount of toning. This might be due to the fact that I’m accustomed to wearing 1-2 inches shaping tennis shoes. Of the four styles, I find the skylar flats to be the most versatile and attractive. I’ve worn them on casual playdates with my son and with summer dresses on “real” dates with my husband.
crocs tone’s four styles retail for $44.99 to $54.99 and are available online and at retailers nationwide.

I’m skeptical of the whole toning shoe trend in general and have doubts about how much any particular show is going to help with toning. (Mainly because the toning shoes seem to be marketed with the message that you can just do your normal activities while wearing them and see big results. I could see that it might be different if you were doing a regular walking or running regime and incorporating toning shoes into that.)
That said, I actually do have a pair of Crocs, the mary jane style flats, that I found at Big Lots and figured they would be good for when I do outdoor art markets, so my feet don’t get wet & muddy. I’ve actually seen the appeal of Crocs since I got them, as they are really comfy, even if I still think the traditional clog style Crocs are terribly ugly.
