 Yes, I do feel some toning going on!!... ReallyMar 11, 2010
By Kim Brophy
I read the reviews on these and decided to try them. Most reviews talked about how comfortble these are just for wearing around. THEY ARE NOT to my feet. They make the bottoms of my feet go to sleep while walking, and are overall painfull to wear, especially at first (and yes they are the right size). Speaking of size, they are true to size as far as I can tell, so that should not be a concern when ordering without being able to try them on.
While many reviewers talked about not knowing if they were toning anything, I am convinced that they do indeed help tone your legs/butt. They also do promote good posture. When I am finished walking in them I notice a greater tightness in my lower regions than if I wear normal shoes.
The downfall for me is that they hurt my knees and feet. They do not provide any stability, so if you need that these may be bad for you as well. I feel as though I am slamming my feet down constantly and can't avoid it. I also get a feeling of hyperextention in my knees from they way the shoes make contact with the ground.
I do also notice that, physically, I cannot walk very fast in them so my heart rate does not elevate as much as when I can speed walk in my regular shoes. I would recommend alternating shoes.
I give them 4 stars because I believe they give a better muscle workout, and hope that others w/o stability issues can benefit from them.
I am going to give them a few more miles, but overall I think they are hurting me (orthopedically) more than helping me.

 Deff. worth the priceMar 29, 2010
By Tyranni Sliger
"emoduckie"
My bf and I first tried this style of shoe at a local KMart. The shoe there was really curved and the sole was so-so. It still for some reason made me curious to try some other brands esp. knowing that usually these shoes sell for a whole more then the $19.99 price tags that were on these. The next day I went to Khols and actauly surprised to see them there. Tried them on and instantly fell in love with them. They still had the rocking motion of coarse but unlike the ones at KMart I did not feel like I was going to fall over. Plus, they were so much more cushiony. I work in a clothing retail store on my feet on a super hard marble floor for 8-10 hours a day so when I get out I need something comfortable. These deffinatly did the trick. I then proceeded to just see what other brands had to offer after trying Avia, 2 other brands I cant remember and even Dr. Scholls, I came right back to these. Now, I cant wait till the Mary Janes actaully come out in stores so I can try those and not kill my feet at work. Over all, there was deff. worth the $80 price differance. None of the other brands even came close.

sketcher shapeupMar 27, 2010
By Valeria Woodard
These are great! I am on my feet all day and they do not hurt. At first my lower back hurt a little, but I think that was my body learning how to correct my posture. My husband says my bottom looks firmer too:)

Relieved Foot Pain from plantar fasciitisSep 01, 2010
By E. Kalinowski
"Elise"
I bought these shoes because of other reviews that talked about relief from plantar fasciitis, also known as a stress fracture. I work retail and was having to modify my schedule to 4 hour shifts because the pain was so great. These shoes make you stand differently on your feet, eliminating the pain! I was able to walk around all day. I immediately felt my posture improve, my ankles straighten up, and pressure relieved. I love the feeling you get, as they described it's like walking on soft sand. It is such a relief that there is a shoe out there that relieves pain and lets you walk longer again!
