Chung Shi Shoes: A Review of Shoes by Chung Shi
Custom Search
The idea behind Chung Shi shoes is that they massage the foot and replicate the experience of walking on even surfaces - much like a bamboo mat.
The company claims these shoes increase calorie consumption, massage the foot's reflexology zones, reduce the appearance of cellulite, promote a more natural walk, improve posture and strengthen the core muscles. But, can a shoe really do all that? For a full review of the Chung Shi shoe, keep reading.
Chung Shi Shoe Prices
Chung Shi shoes cost between $220 and $270 - they're expensive. That said, they're comparable to other “roller” or “rocker” brands like MBT shoes. For believers in this type of shoe design the cost is worth it, for others it's simply too much to pay for a casual, everyday sneaker.
Comfort and Fit
The Chung Shi shoe has something called a roller bar in the center, the shoes is also designed with a somewhat rounded outsole. Basically, the foot rocks while walking instead of hitting the ground hard and flat. The idea is that this is a more natural way of walking and will, over time, improve posture, relieve back pain and add comfort.
However, if you're not used to them, walking in a pair of these shoes can be awkward, uncomfortable and generally unsettling. Most people either love these shoes or they hate them.
Remember, these shoes also claim to burn more calories, essentially meaning it's more work to wear them - an unpleasant experience that many shoe buyers simply aren't into. So, before you spend over $200 on a pair, take them for a long walk through the shoe store.
Quality of the Shoe
Overall, these are well-made shoes and they should be. At more than $220 for a pair of sneakers, buyers should expect high-quality shoes designed to last.
Chung Shi Style and Design
The shoes are clunky sneakers. They're designed for casual, every day use and certainly not the kind of shoes you would wear to an important meeting or a night out on the town. It's clear that the majority of design has gone into the fit and shape of the shoe, rather than how it looks. Essentially, they're basic sneakers.
Conclusion
As mentioned earlier, Chung Shi shoes are either loved or hated. For some, the unique rocking fit can help alleviate pain and improve posture. For others, it's an uncomfortable shoe that causes leg pain and looks terrible. So, if you're considering purchasing a pair, try them on first and always check the store's return policy.
