New Balance truebalance WW850 Toning Shoes Giveaway

I have totally wanted to try out the whole toning shoe phenomenon since the first ads hit. Those women look ah-mazing. Sure they were born with the metabolism of a humming bird, have spent their entire lives working as professional dancers (the ballet kind, not the dirty kind, get your mind out of the gutter) and can squat press more than my husband. But maybe, just maybe, there is a chance that with a good diet and exercise program, those shoes can make my tush look less like an over stuffed bag of potatoes and more like…not a bag of potatoes. I’m not looking for worship worthy heiney here, just a little tone, a little lift. Is that too much to ask? I don’t think so. So I’m excited to be trying out New Balance’s truebalance WW850 toning shoe. I’ll give you a complete review later this month (spoiler alert: loving them) and right now you can check out these shoes and enter to win your own pair.

Truebalance Toning Shoes

New Balance introduced truebalance toning shoes to help women get more out of every step they take. (Like carrying baby to changing table, helping baby walk down hall to high chair for lunch, carrying baby back to changing table, wandering around room collecting toys, racing across room to rescue baby from dog from the baby, back to changing table. Just me?) Every step you take in truebalance shoes makes your body work to maintain it’s natural balance which works your core, glutes and legs. You burn more calories, tone your muscles and have to stand up straighter which just makes you look better* when you are wearing these shoes. (*This last point is my opinion and may not be backed up by scientific fact. This does not make it any less true.)

Not Ugly Sylish and Aesthetic Toning Shoes

You all know what I mean when I say that some toning shoes make you look a bit like you have a club foot. I’m not saying they aren’t comfortable and effective. They just aren’t all that cute. These are not those shoes.

Test consumers (and yours truly) agree that truebalance shoes are more “stylish and aesthetic” and “lower profile” than competitors shoes. My coworkers like the lovely pink accents (their words). In fact, these shoes don’t really look like toning shoes at all. They are more like normal (cute) athletic shoes. You can get that extra boost without shouting to the world “I’m working on my tush!”

How they Work

Truebalance shoes are designed with patent pending balance board inspired technology featuring a soft flexible sole with a spring system design and rounded bottom. Just like working out with a balance board, these shoes force your body to work to keep its balance, engaging muscles some of us haven’t used for a while (abs, glutes, calves, you name it). Test subjects saw results in just one week.

New Balance Wellness

New Balance Wellness is reframing the way women feel about exercise so they can embrace all that it can be, an indulgence for the mind, body and soul. New Balance Wellness encompasses a multitude of activities, including running, walking, training, outdoor and more. It crosses all categories and activity levels. So no matter what activity or activity level, women will have what they need to engage their minds, bodies and souls for increased energy, awareness, joy and personal sustainability.

Shop! Truebalance WW850 shoes are available in 7 stylish colors on-line at shopnewbalance.com, Amazon.com, and local retailers for $89.99. The soft upper of these shoes makes them an easy fit (think pair of socks versus Jimmy Choos) so they are A-OK to order on-line, something I wouldn’t recommend for running shoes which have more structured uppers.
