Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Reebok have come up with a new series of ladies' shoes that target and tone the calves, hamstrings, and glutes. With celebrity endorsements from actress Regina King, ex-Spice Girl Mel B, socialite Kim Kardashian, and DJ Samantha Ronson, the shoe looks set to catch the attention of women wanting a secret, walkabout workout from a well-known brand name.

The shoes work by pinpointing specific areas on each foot that make the wearer's leg muscles work that little bit harder with each step taken.

Available as cross-trainers and sandals for between $60 and $110 (€60-€100) per pair, they are set to join the ranks of mass-market footwear products that claim to improve posture and muscle use as a result of normal daily use.

Skechers, MBT, Vivo Barefoot and Vibram Fivefingers are among other manufacturers who have designed shoes whose soles also convey immediate health benefits to the user.
