Hate hitting the gym? Me too! Thankfully, there's a new footwear trend of weight loss shoes, or fitness sneakers, to help tone your bod while you wear them. Erin Conroy of Famous Footwear gave me the scoop on the must-have versions of these shoes this season:

You can work your hamstrings, calves and glutes with a flip flop! The balance pods under the heel and foot create an instability with every step that encourages the toning of the muscles in your legs.

This Reebox sneaker features balance pods that are designed to make walking a little bit more unstable - which sounds bad, but it helps tighten muscles. The shoe also has technology to help move air from heel-to-toe with every step for cushioning.
Skechers Women's Shape-ups Fit Junkie in Silver/White, $99.99

The Fit Junkie from Skechers has a rolling bottom that helps to strengthen and tone leg muscles by forcing you to push off from your toes as your foot rolls forward and your weight shifts to the center.
