Foot care innovator celebrates Barbie’s 50th birthday
Ann Arbor, Michigan, Mar 9, 2009 YogaToes® observes iconic fashion doll Barbie’s 50th birthday with a limited edition Fashionista Foot Rescue Gift Set.
The legendary Barbie doll, after 50 years of ‘living’ in high heels, has the same feet she was born with. Not so with mere mortals! YogaToes® are a new and popular solution for the damage feet suffer when confined in fashionable shoes all day. According to Dr. Stephen Conti, a foot and ankle specialist, wearing high heels “can permanently and painfully deform feet”.
Frederic Ferri, foot guru and YogaToes® innovator says, “Fortunately you can have your (birthday) cake and eat it too. Our soft, flexible, YogaToes® give instant relief for cramped, overworked feet. YogaToes® also help improve and prevent foot problems by stretching toes and strengthening foot muscles. Users simply put them on, relax, and let YogaToes® do their work.”
YogaToes® are made by YogaPro, a leading innovator in expert tools for better living since 1989. Founded by Frederic Ferri, the American company has grown since its inception from a one-man operation to international. YogaPro is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

A Comparative Study of Barefooted and Shoe-wearing Peoples
Friday, March 6th, 2009This study from the American Journal of Orthopedic Surgery explores the differences of feet between people who spend their whole lives barefoot and those who wear shoes. The conclusions are pretty astonishing, and clearly show how, over time, shoes can seriously deform and weaken our feet. The article states:
“It is very significant that in the one hundred eighty six pairs of primitive feet examined, I did not find a single foot associated with the symptoms of weakness so characteristic and common in adult shoe-wearing feet, which are weakened by the restraint the shoe exerts over function.”

Worried about the health of your own feet? You don’t have to revert to a barefooted lifestyle. YogaToes® are designed to straighten and strengthen your foot muscles and bones, reviving feet and giving you back the flexebility that shoes deny.
