Weve all been there dripping with sweat while perched on the Reformer or mid-Downward-Facing Dog, hands and feet doing that slow, precarious slide. But while most of us choose to fumble onward, scrapping our form in favor of focusing on the task at hand (i.e. not falling), Blake Brody knew she could find a better option, which in her case meant creating one.
After falling off of a reformer in Pilates class because my sweaty feet slipped off of the foot bar, I looked for an alternative to going barefoot, said Brody. No products met my functional requirements, which included structure, feel and hygiene, so I decided to create a shoe made specifically for use inside of a studio that was better than barefoot; a shoe that would help me maintain my sensitivity to the ground and props, maintain the natural range of movement of my foot/toes, prevent slipping from sweaty feet with traction pads on the bottom (that do not mark floors or equipment), and protect from germs with an anti-microbial liner.
Enter Blake Brody In-Studio Footwear, her eponymous line of affordable luxury shoes that retail from $98 to $145. After slipping a pair on, I couldnt help but think back to my ballet days, except that Brodys version of the traditional slipper is actually much more comfortable. The padded arch helps to prevent against cramping, while the tacky pads on the soles provide enough grip yet still allow for natural foot flexion and freedom of movement. Best of all, the lining literally sucked the sweat away from my feet, keeping me dry and comfortable throughout the workout allowing me to focus on, well, working out. A fat burning overview can help you construct a clear outline of what you require to focus on to carry out your fat reduction objective if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an intermediate or more improve phase of their weight loss plan. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as guidelines for your personal weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not a similar thing. Many weight loss plans have tricked people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss programs only work by leading to a person's body to lose more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor.
Did I mention theyre darn cute, too? Just as with the carefully thought out construction, the true beauty of Brodys footwear resides in the design details. From elegant embellishments such as ribbons, bows and crystals to rich fabrics and materials in lush seasonal colors, your daily practice will no doubt feel extra special when you look down and see these fashionable foot coverings. Check out the current spring and summer styles available at BlakeBrody.com, and stay tuned for the fall 2011 collection, which is launching shortly.
Once people experience the shoes for themselves, they understand all of the benefits, said Brody. It is something that no one had and that everyone needs!
