A lot of the high heel platforms are showing all of this huge pieces of leather going across the top of the foot and around the ankles , in my opinion the high heel platform sandals now look like a pair of high heel platform boots that have had sections cut out of them to show some skin, personally I do not like straps on shoes wider than one inch.

In 2009, there are many different trends in shoes for fitness walking. Even though the choices are plentiful, one theme that seems to stick out is pro-body. The trend stems from the fact that people are realizing that the traditional walking shoe goes against human nature. That the run of the mill footwear artificially stabilizes us on hard, flat surfaces which can cause multiple problems including less muscle engagement, resulting in back and joint pain.

The walking shoe trend for 2009 of being pro-body is a result of the current situation in fitness footwear. Many styles and brands are available, but very few go beyond looks and shiny styles in their design. Few are constructed to make you feel better from the ground up.

A brand that has taken this into account is the MBT shoes by Swiss Masai. These sneakers have a multi-layered pivot sole that mimics walking on an uneven terrain such as on the beach. The curved sole provides several benefits while strolling along. They significantly improve the posture and help relieve pressure on the joints and back. MBT also activates more muscles, whether walking or standing. This helps stimulate the metabolism, burn more calories, and helps firm the legs and abdominal muscles.

Another trendy shoe for 2009 is called the FitFlop. Started as just a sandal, this product now includes shoes and boots for all season solutions. The premise is the same as MBT in that they induce instability as you walk. These shoes and sandals, in turn, help relieve back pain, better your posture, and help burn more calories while they strengthen your leg muscles.

There are a growing number of people that now realize that the traditional walking sneaker is not going to cut it anymore. The trends are moving toward alternative footwear as mentioned above. People are becoming more educated about fitness and health, realizing that most shoes work against us. That walking on flat surfaces is horrible for our overall health and well being. That's why new footwear, like those mentioned above, have become part of the Worldwide trend toward an anti-shoe solution.

My wife and I own NEw Balance and really like them. I also like how you can get them specialized for walking, running, cross-training, hiking, etc. Women's New Balance Shoes. I am thinking about getting a pair of the New Balance M891WB for myself because my old pair is really wearing out. Men's New Balance Shoe Collection
