Studies demonstrate that Earth Footwear increases the rate of fat-burning inside the body. Women wearing Earth Footwear burn 4x the fat than normal shoes. The difference is in the Kalso Negative Heel Technology, which positions the toes 3.7 percent higher than the heels. The slight angle shifts weight subtly back over the heels, and help strengthen and tone the body while also burning more calories.

While you are out walking, enjoying the beautiful spring weather or our shopping, running errands and caring for the family, the shoes do the work for you.

I just went there, took a short quiz, and found out my personal ice cream flavor is “Double Bubble Sorbet,” which means that I have the following ingredients: “tons of fun, a few rays of sunshine, a little bliss, some flirtatiousness, vivacity, brightness, and spunk.” Who knew? LOL!

Check out this fun video! Can you relate to the enthusiasm these women feel for shoes?

1. Make today loud by screaming with excitement when good things happen.
2. Make today pop by wearing bold colors.
3. Make today frisky by… well, I’ll leave that up to you .
4. Make today playful by flirting with your spouse.
5. Make today lyrical by playing and bringing classical music to life in your home and making up and telling fun stories to your children about what the music means.
6. Make today glamorous by being beautiful on the inside!
7. Make today fearless by stepping outside your comfort zone to serve someone you may not know well or at all.
8. Make today heroic by being someone’s hero in whatever way they need to be saved, served, or made to feel special.
9. Make today huge by making a triple batch of cookies and surprising your kids with some when they walk in the door from school, sharing some with your neighbors, and giving some to your friends as a thank you just for being in your life.
10. Make today electric by shocking someone. Call someone you haven’t talked to in a while. Drop in on someone unexpectedly just to let them know you care about them. Do something for yourself that you don’t typically do that will make you feel really good.
11. Make today dangerous by taking a leap of faith. Only you know what that will be, but do it. You know you’ve been wanting to for a while. Don’t hold back!

These ideas were prompted by this fun video by Famous Footwear!
