A new fad taking the fitness footwear industry by storm has been making headlines lately in the wake of a number of studies calling its effectiveness into question and others linking it to serious injuries. It’s a fad known by names like “wellness shoes,” “fitness shoes,” “rocker bottom” or “rocker sole shoes,” although “toning shoes” seems to be marketers’ favorite moniker. Whatever you call them, though, more and more research is pointing to the fact that these kinds of shoes are causing more harm than good to the people who are wearing them; including one woman whose lawsuit alleges toning shoes caused her hip fracture.

Serious injuries like hip fractures, Achilles heel injuries, damaging alterations to your natural gate or any of the laundry list of maladies associated with toning shoes requires the help of a high-quality, capable Ohio personal injury lawyer.

According to one sporting goods industry analyst, toning shoes are the quickest-growing part of the fitness-footwear industry – a $17-billion-a-year giant. In fact, SportsOneSource representative Matt Powell in a recent article in USA Today told a reporter he’s never seen a footwear industry segment grow so fast. To a product defect lawyer, this represents a growing segment of negligence victims who will likely need the help of an Ohio personal injury lawyer. Don’t treat that new kink in your tendon or intermittent, sharp pain in your hip like nothing to worry about.
