Hi There,

Our shoes use a high quality synthetic leather base and cotton-synthetic blend mesh to breath and allow the foot to stay cool so no, there is no leather in NGR Shoes.

Hope this helps,

Hi

We are planning on coming out with some new colors for the summer! We will add you to the list so that we can keep you posted. As for the boots, these are still in development so we cannot predict when they will "hit the streets" because we put a lot of time into R&D and want to make sure we get you a functional and stylish product!

Hi,

It is true that our bodies are made such that we can get use to almost anything! That is why even professional athletes have to vary their workouts and force their bodies to try something new.

To answer your question more directly, there hundreds of exercises and activities you can do with your NGR Shoes to maintain the effect. For example, you may plateau after walking with them a few hours every day for a month but will still definitely feel it if you start doing stairs. Similarly, you can use them to do a plank in which you raise one foot and then the other off the ground to really engage your core. When it gets too easy, you can raise your foot higher or start to lift your foot and swing it outwards. This will restart the effects!

Hope this answers your question.

Hi There,

NGR Shoes are mainly women's shoe though the width is medium so some men can get away with buying them. Generally, these are men that are lucky to have a size 9 foot or smaller since there is a 2 size difference between men's and women's shoe (a 9 men is an 11 women). That being said, yes, NGR Shoes are primarily sized as women's shoes.

Let us know if we can be of further help.

Hi!

Great question! Quick note - the shoes allow you to burn UP TO 50% MORE CALORIES. Typically, the range is between 25-50% depending on activity and how in shape you are and how intense the activity you are doing. This was taken from a study that used a group of men and a group of women trying various types of shoes on a treadmill. The study monitored cardiovascular, heart rate, and VO2 Max activity while wearing the different shoes. The finding was that when the study group wore our weighted technology, there was up to 50% more calorie burn.

For your information, we also conducted a more informal study with some personal trainers we soemtimes work with that are fanatical about keeping track of their workouts and caloric burn. These trainers also noticed a difference when using the shoes when compared to their regular workouts. For example, one trainer burned 30% more calories doing the Santa Monica stairs using our shoes!

Hope this helps - thanks for the question.

Hi!

Without the midsole the shoes weigh about the same as your everyday cross trainer. However, when you switched the light midsole for the heavy midsole, the shoes weigh between 1.5-2 lbs more per foot depending on shoe size. So, if you wear a size 6 each shoe will weigh about 1.5 lbs more than your everyday cross trainer. That's enough added weight to help burn up to 50% more calories and tone your legs and bum so you will definitely feel it!

Yes, you can use NGR Shoes to workout however we do not recommend you run with them. NGR Shoes are specifically designed for walking and increasing the resistance of a workout. They can be used on the treadmill and are especially effective when used in conjunction with a stair master routine or jumping rope. However, they should not be used for running as running is very high impact and already puts a lot of strain on the body and joint. That being said, you can take the weights out of the shoes and use NGR Shoes without the weights in when running.

In terms of being noticeable, the answer is a definitive yes! NGR Shoes increase caloric burn by up to 50% and increase burn in the legs, butt, and core so you will feel it. Depending on how fit you are, you can even notice the difference while using NGR Shoes when walking!

Unfortunately we don't yet make NGR Shoes in size 5. We do run a half size small so can accommodate size 5.5 but not yet size 5. Sorry!

Your doctor is best to advise on whether or not you can do exercise while pregnant and until which stage of pregnancy. So long as your doctor so thinks it is okay for you to exercise, you can include NGR Shoes in your daily activity.
