Sure, you can exercise your feet by walking and running – people have been doing that for millennia, even before the concept of exercise was discovered! But as you might have discovered, unless it's done in a programmed and scientific way, walking and running can be painful for your feet and leg muscles, not to mention you can't always do it because of bad weather, lack of time, or simply you're not in the mood. The Akaishi Five Finger Trainer Pro takes care of all these issues and offers professional level training, not just for your feet but for your entire lower body!
What at first looks like an over-sized pedicure toe separator is a sophisticated exercise device that works even if you're just standing: the Akaishi Five Finger Trainer Pro's curved bottom is always rocking, so trying to keep your balance strengthens all the plantar muscles in your feet and lower legs but also your thighs and up to your core (abdominal and lower back) muscles. Get the size that best fits you (it comes in M and L that fit a variety of shoe sizes) and don't worry about the "finger" part: in Japanese, the word for "finger" and "toe" is the same!
