We’re proud to launch our brand new FitnessFootwear.com website with sleek new looks and effortless navigation for an even better online shopping experience.
Let’s be honest, the old site was a tad chaotic. So we thought about how people are used to walking into a shop and seeing the various sections. So instead of launching someone straight into mens Merrell walking sandals, we felt it was better to encourage people to browse FitnessFootwear.com by category.
After all, if someone is looking for something that specific, then chances are, they’ll land on our site from a Google search.
So now you can easily browse by Mens, Womens, Brands and our top level categories: Outdoor, Running, Toning and Casual.
OUTDOOR
Enjoying the great outdoors, climbing Ben Nevis or taking the dog for a walk? Then our Outdoor section has everything from lightweight summer walking sandals to warm, waterproof snow boots for winter. We also stock a wide range of walking boots and walking shoes for all kinds of weather conditions. So whether you’re looking for lightweight comfort and breathability or support and Gore-Tex waterproof protection, We stock every kind of walking shoe, boot and trainer imaginable from the biggest outdoor brands.
Our outdoor brands include:
Hi-Tec
Brasher
Keen
Merrell
North Face

Teva
RUNNING
Going for a casual run, competing in a marathon, going off road or going barefoot, our running shoes section has every kind of shoe for every kind of runner, including trail running shoes and the latest range of barefoot running shoes.
The barefoot running shoe trend has really taken off lately and we’re looking forward to expanding this range in 2011, along with our already wide range of specialist running shoes from the biggest brands in running.
Our running brands include:
Asics
inov-8
Mizuno
New Balance
Saucony
Vibram Five Fingers
TONING
Toning is a relatively new niche in the world of sports and everyday wear. While toning footwear began in the form of a comfy sandal to tone your legs with every step, toning trainers have helped to develop this category in recent years, making toning shoes appealing for a wide range of people from those looking to improve their overall health and fitness to athletes seeking to enhance their training sessions.
We stock a wide range of everyday toning shoes, boots and sandals to get a work out while you walk to competitive toning trainers which use a number of technologies to help you run faster, further and harder with less fatigue.
Our toning brands include:
FitFlop
Reebok
Skechers
CASUAL
Everyone’s got to relax once in a while, even our staff! So as well as sports and outdoor shoes, we also stock a selection of comfortable, rugged and hard wearing casual shoes, boots, trainers and sandals with a focus on the outdoors.
Truth be told, casual shoes are becoming more functional than ever and the gap between function and fashion is forever shrinking. Just look at walking trainers and ladies snow boots for example.
Our casual brands include:
Birkenstock
Caterpillar
Merrell
We hope you like the new site and find that’s it’s much easier to browse and filter for what you’re looking for. We’ll be adding more great features over the coming months to enhance the ease, speed and enjoyment of shopping online with us.

Starting with tomorrow night’s X Factor, Reebok are relaunching their ReeTone television campaign for their Reebok EasyTone toning trainers.
Throughout summer Reebok EasyTone shoes have been endorsed by Kelly Brook who appeared naked in posters worldwide, wearing nothing but a pair of the toning trainers.
Meanwhile, to appeal to a male audience with a focus on fitness and training, Reebok has also been endorsed by Footballers Thierry Henry and Ryan Giggs while Formular One racing driver Lewis Hamilton training in Reebok RunTone trainers. Yet, oddly, no one has been endorsing the Reebok TrainTone
The first Reebok ReeTone television marketing campaign was a runaway success and like so many other stores, we completely sold out in a matter of days!
This time we’ve secured lots more stock, so our only problem is going to be getting it all out of the door on Monday morning. But for us, that’s a nice problem to have,
This Saturday evening, the ReeTone television campaign begins anew with heavy exposure around Simon Cowell’s latest series of The X Factor airing on ITV1 at 7:30pm.

It’s taken a while for many brands to hop aboard the barefoot running bandwagon, but the release date of New Balance Minimus, Merrell Barefoot and Inov-8 Evoskin is getting ever closer, while Vibram Five Fingers are currently the must have athletic footwear for barefoot runners everywhere.
This week New Balance has leaked a few more images of their New Balance Minimus barefoot running shoes range, as well as a very in depth interview about their creation.
But the long and short of the interview is that a renowned barefoot runner in the US took a knife to a pair of New Balace trainers he was given and stripped the shoe down to the bare essentials, which them formed the based for New Balance Minius barefoot running shoes.
Much to our surprise the Minimus has a lot in commom with Vibram Five Fingers with regards to the sole unit (which is also made by Vibram) in the way it wraps around the foot. The upper and rear straps also help to lock the heel and foot arch in place to minimise movement. Meanwhile the lightweight honeycomb mesh pattern for lightweight performance and breathability is reminiscent of Vivo Barefoot running shoes. Finish it off with some laces, New Balance branding and you’ve got a great looking barefoot running shoe!
Will the New Balance Minimus come with the token New Balance ‘knobbly’ laces that never come untied while your running? We hope so.
Stay tuned for more info about New Balance Minimus and barefoot running shoes as it breaks at FitnessFootwear.com

Last week, Transformers star, Josh Duhamel and wife, Black Eyed Peas singer, Fergie were spotted running together in Brentwood park.
While the Mail’s story is mostly about the couple, an aside mentions Vibram Five Fingers and their growing popularity as the latest ‘it’ in athletic wear.
“The shoes, which cost between $75-125 have a strange appearance, making the wearer look as if they have gecko-like feet. But they are said to be hugely beneficial for both posture and back strain as they allow the wearer to walk without a heel. The shoes also condition toe-spread, especially the big toe, for lateral stability.”
The reason for Josh wearing Vibram Five Fingers is in order to strengthen his calf muscles.
The actor ruptured his left achilles six years ago and the muscle never fully grew back, leaving it half the size of the other.
Here you can see him wearing a pair of the Vibram Five Fingers Classic in Grey and Orange, one of the more colourful VFF styles.
While Vibram FiveFingers have been around for years, the barefoot running has received enormous attention in the running community throughout 2010 and should continue to grow as more and more people embrace their barefoot over heel cushioned trainers.
We love our barefoot shoes here at FitnessFootwear.com whether we’re walking, running or simply enjoying the comfort of being barefoot without the pain of sharp stones or other objects beneath our feet.

It’s like Christmas here at FitnessFootwear.com, because that’s how much we all love Merrell shoes. Owning your first pair of Merrells is almost part of the induction into the company. So as you can see, Merrell is a brand that we’re all very passionate about.
Our Autumn drop arrived first thing this morning, bringing with it the new Merrell Colour Stories – ranges of mens and womens shoes all coloured to match the seasons from men’s Autumnal terracota and rust to the cool womens’s Winter violet collection.
Best of all, we’ve now got the Merrell Refuge Pro GTX. It fits very much like the Merrell Intercept but with a batter grip, a little more cushioning underfoot, better wrap around fit and of course, complete waterproof protection thanks to the Gore-Tex membrane.
After yesterdays rain, the summer is well and truly over. Autumn is here and Merrell is simply the best footwear brand to embrace it in comfort, quality and style.
We’ve been out ‘shoe spotting’ recently and were amazed by the number of people out wearing Merrell trainers. Then again, more people than ever seem to be wearing outdoor shoes rather than traditionally trendy trainers. Could there be a shift in fashionable footwear? If so, then Merrell will be more popular than ever this year.

Many of the girls in the FitnessFootwear office are already wearing their Emu boots now that the weather’s turned chilly.
Meanwhile the men a wearing a mixture of Caterpillar boots for everyday comfort and North Face boots for that blend of fashion and outdoor function.
It’s all change here at FitnessFootwear.com as we leave summer behind and embrace the Autumn.

This week Skechers released another video, this time of their Shape Ups Resistance Runner trainers which are designed for serious sports training.
One look at the video and the price tag of the new Skechers Shape Ups Resistance Runners and it’s clear that Skechers are deadly serious about their toning technology.
Available in November and retailing at £139.99, Skechers Resistance Runner shoes are all about strengthening muscles and improving speed and endurance for both casual and competitive runners.
The concept is a shoe that allows you Run Less and Get More. To do this, Skechers have evolved their Shape Ups shoe with a a kinetic wedge and energy return system which mimics running barefoot on soft sand while providing great shock absorption and forward propulsion.
Skechers Resistance Runner shoes are designed to allow runners to train in comfort while burning more calories and strengthening muscles in the legs, back and core.
Skechers Shape Ups Resistance Runners work by giving you a more gentle heel strike and smoother forward roll on to the forefoot while the mechanical spring gives better energy return for forward propulssion and increased speed.
Numerous science boffins concluded that by wearing Shape Ups Resistance running shoes, runners will use more energy and burn more calories. Although how the shoes provide any ‘resistance’ in order to enhance exercise and effort required currently remains a mystery.
Check out the video below and see what you think. Considering their price tag, Skechers Shape Ups Resistance Runner shoes will have to deliver some impressive results. Hopefully we’ll get some ahead of schedule to test out and review.
