Chung Shi Shoes Review

Chung Shi shoes have been condemned in a recent review by The Guardian by reporter, Rachel Holmes.

Designed to encourage healthy walking, Chung Shi shoes force the wearer to stand upright utilising a curved sole. This increases the intensity of your exercise whether walking or running and claim to work your legs twice as hard as normal, while helping to improve your posture.

However, the Guardian’s Life & Style fitness reporter Rachel Holmes experienced numerous difficulties “clunking along, wobbling from side to side,” and “feeling much like Captain Jack Sparrow after three years at sea.”

The in depth analysis by Holmes admits that although Chung Shi shoes are clunky, black, slightly orthopaedic in appearance and not at the cutting edge of fashion, they did help her to stand taller, when she wasn’t falling over in them. Her final verdict condemned them as ugly, (especially for summer) and awkward to walk in.

Chung Shi shoes were also recently dropped by John Lewis in favour of rivals MBT.

With better and cheaper alternatives on the market, one can only wonder at why anyone would choose Chung Shi over more fashionable and clinically proven brands like Fit Flops.

    I have been wearing the newer model of Chung Shi called Unshoe. I wear them to work and walk the treadmill in them. My knees hurt from behind and my legs cramp from the knees down. If I don’t wear them, I don’t have the pain. I wore MBT’s for four years with no problem. I want my MBT’s! Anyone ever heard of this?
