    I have the Skecher's SRR (for running) and I LOVE LOVE LOVE mine. I don't know if it really does any toning or whatever, but they are super comfortable to run in.

    The shoes are 100% marketing, nothing more - but if they make you feel better that is worth double the price I think! :-)

    Don't know if they really work or not for toning, however, they are the most comfortable pair of walking shoes I have ever found. I love them for the comfort. I can walk for hours in them.

    I find if I wear mine too long (like all day!) they make my shins hurt......but they are REALLY comfortable. I don't think they really do anything though to be honest! But since I am short, they are like my high heel tennis shoes - lol!!!

    Great goals by the way!!!

    @lina1131 --- your cartoon is FABULOUS!!!

    I personally love the 'earth' brand tennies. They're the ones with negative heel technology, not the rounded sole type. They've been around a long time, and their claim is also that you burn more calories. I don't know if that's true or not, all I know is my ankles and feet have never felt better! If your feet feel better, you feel more like moving, therefore you burn more calories! I love em!::happy:

    I thought some studies came out that said that they were actually bad for you because they throw off your balance some. I don't know...I bet with some google searches would be able to shed some more light on it.

    Good luck!

    Hiya, I have only just brought mine, so im just hoping and praying that they work to be honest. I have only wore them twice so not really give them chance to get started, one thing I will say they didn't make my legs or bum ache but they did make my back ache so weather thats a posture thing? I don't know. Sandie.x
