Not only does good posture make you look more confident and beautiful it will help you avoid nagging back and muscle problems down the road. When you constantly slouch your muscles get weak and it becomes harder and harder to sit or stand up straight. So quit being a “slouch” and correct that posture before it’s too late.

“These shoes improve your posture by employing dorsiflexion. A technique long used by trainers for rehabilitation and used increasingly by professional athletes to improve performance, dorsiflexion decreases the angle between the lower leg and foot, which stretches and stimulates the calf muscles. These shoes employ the same concept by placing the front half of the wearer’s foot slightly above the heel using an angled, shock-absorbing EVA midsole that relieves forward tilt–the signature sign of bad posture. The shoes place the pelvic bone in a favorable position to alleviate pressure on the lower back, correctly alinging your ankle, knee, hip, and shoulder joints–with the included benefits of increased blood circulation and greater ankle stability.”
