Frequently Asked Questions

For the Muscle Trainer Shoes you should always choose the next larger size to feel more comfortable, so size 8 in this case.

No, you won't feel uncomfortable or perspire more because the Lytess garment will breathe like a regular garment.

It is an original and effective solution that provides a cosmetic treatment. These intelligent garments are based on an advanced technology named microencapsulation to assist the slimming process.

Imagine a microcapsule as a grape—one side, the pulp, is the cosmetic ingredients; the other side, the skin, protects the cosmetic ingredients from the outside environment.

a) It Protects the cosmetic ingredient from outside deterioration due to light, moisture or oxidation. You always get a special warning when you open a cosmetic jar such as "Keep away from sunlight, heat, etc." It is not the case with a Lytess garment.
b) It Releases the cosmetic ingredients gradually on your skin: you will benefit from the treatment throughout the day as long as you wear them: we recommend wearing them up to 8 hours per day. A cream is no longer effective when it dries, generally after 3 hours.
c) It Releases the cosmetic ingredients in a controlled manner: you always get the same dose of active ingredients as long as you wear a Lytess garment. It is impossible to get the same results when you self-apply a cream or lotion.

Don’t change your habits! The natural friction of the garment on your skin due to body movement triggers the release of the active ingredients. So move, walk, be yourself and enjoy the massaging effect of Lytess™ garments on your skin: they can reduce up to 1.8’’ on your waist. No messy creams. No lotions. No saturation for an even asbsorption on your skin. Lytess™ garments are not a "sweat-you-down" product to torture your body but throughout the day you will feel its slimming benefit: which are smoother skin & energized legs.

Lytess® garments keep their active ingredients for up to 20 washes. Afterwards, you can still wear them and enjoy as a regular seamless garment.  We recommend that you handwash the product with no dryer.

Lytess® garment is a cosmetotextile whose main innovation resides in the integration of cosmetic ingredients in the garment. You will experience a cosmetic treatment without the regular constraints of a cream or lotion.  A sauna bike short makes you sweat and eliminate toxins thanks to a specific mix of fibers to trigger the heat against your skin. The sauna feature is a mechanical one.

Lytess® cosmetotextiles adhere very strictly to the current cosmetic regulations: you will find the exact composition listed on each retail package. For the Corrective belt, the active ingredients are made of Caffeine and Shea butter; for the Panty Push Up, Caffeine and Mango butter. If you know that you are allergic to these ingredients, we recommend that you don’t wear them.

No, in fact the caffeine does not go into your skin, only on the epiderm to tease and stimulate the adipocyte. You keep a lot of lipides, or fats, so your skin is therefore swollen, Lytess® action is to decrease them and thanks to the continuous hydratation process it will tone your skin again. Let me use an image: your skin looks like a sponge full of water so you will squeeze out the water to reduce it.

Wearing Muscle Trainers is appropriate for people of all ages and for any levels of fitness. As for exercises, we recommend to start slowly (15 minutes or so) and extend the time as you feel more comfortable, and in better shape.

When you wear the shoes, you actually won’t feel the weight after a few minutes of walking. Generally when you wear ankle weights you always feel the pull on the ankles and on the top of the feet, even after 30 minutes of walking. Thus, wearing ankle weights can be very uncomfortable. Additionally, most of the time they rub and bang against your heels. Besides, most sneakers are not specially designed to deal with the additional weight. Thanks to the unique Muscle Trainer's integrated weight distribution that is evenly applied under your foot and spread out on the muscles from the foot to the top of the leg.

You walk exactly the same way. Quickly, you will feel that all the muscles from the top of the leg to the foot are working. You will feel all the muscles of your legs—calves, lower leg, foot thighs even hips and bottocks—becoming firm. You will benefit from a better posture and make your abdominal and back muscles work better in far shorter periods of time than regular shoes.

Every American woman has a busy schedule: you don’t always have the time to go for a walk so it's important to wear them while doing other activities such as: walking the dog, house-cleaning, doing errands, going at the malls, going to the office and back.

We do not recommend running with them, or walking on a wet surface such as on a rainy day. If you are fit, you can wear them on a treadmill for a more intense workout.

Walking has always been a form of exercise recommended by doctors to be and/or to keep in shape. Running, due to radical impact, might result in joint problem or feet/leg injuries. Thanks to weighted shoes, walking is sufficient. Wearing Muscle Trainer is a simple calorie burning shoe that Japanese sport specialists redesigned to provide a new fitness aid for people of any ages, level of fitness.

It has to do with the padding support. The 33mm padded tongue stops the irritation where other sneakers create it. The extra-thick sole tends to reduce the impact of each step on feet and ankles. The padded ankle pad keeps at bay blister and irritation.

The main differences with the Masai’s Shoes from MBT and ours:
a) Theirs are not weighted sole sneakers
b) Contrary to their curved shape, our sole is flat for better stability while you walk; less risk to hurt your ankles.
