    I have the shape ups and can not wear them because they hurt my arch....apparently I am someone whose feet hurt with too much support.

    agree with most of all, I too have shapeup's and when I am walking with them on, my usual stretch of uphill is quite difficult to do

    I got my Ryka toning shoes at Costco and wear them at work (I'm on my feet a lot). They are very comfortable with good arch support and super cushioning. I wore them on one outdoor walk, and didn't like that they slowed me down a bit.

    I have a doctors shoals version of them. They are very comfortable and when I walk in them I can feel it in the back of my thighs and calves. I also feel it in my butt if I walk long enough or if i walk up hill alot! Hope this helps you out! :happy:

    I have a pair of the Reebok RunTones and I love them for general walking around anywhere.. They are much more gradual than the Shape-Ups, but like someone else said, I wouldn't recommend using them as workout shoes because of the added instability.

    These were also a big plus because they don't look like typical toning shoes (at least to me), and blend in more as regular athletic sneakers

    I have Rebok EasyTones. I don't think they are very comfortable and because I have low arches they hurt after wearing them for very long periods of time. They're weird to walk in but I have noticed a difference in the shape of my legs and butt.

    I was thinking about getting a pair, but I'm flat footed. So that might be a problem!

    I have the Reebok easy tones. When I was wearing them I was bartending at a huge sports bar and what I noticed is that they were super comfortable when I was moving around but because of the round bottoms if I was just standing or stationary they were actually quite the opposite. However, when I was busy and running around the bar I definitely felt like they were giving me a little extra workout. I don't think you can expect to drop any pounds by wearing them, but I would say they will definitely help shape your cavs! Hope that helped

    I have Reebok Easy Tones and I don't think they do much on their own. They are amazingly comfortable and supportive. I kinda feel the "balance bubbles" when I walk especially up stairs so I can see how they affect stability which promotes toning, and when I run they feel bouncy. I would recommend them and great comfortable shoes but I don't "feel" the toning.

    I agree with some other posts. I have the Sketchers and while I don't know if I buy the hype on toning, they sure are the most comfortable workout shoes I've ever worn. I have bad feet and have stopped workouts in the past due to foot pain. I have NEVER had stopped from foot pain with these shoes. In that regard, I'd highly recommend them.

    I have fit-flops and I can definitely feel my legs being worked in them. It's really hard to describe. The first few days I had them they really made my legs sore - in new places that aren't usually sore. I'm used to them now, so I don't feel it so much, unless I'm doing a lot of walking in them. They are super comfy though and I'm a total flip-flop kinda girl, and these are easily the most comfortable flip-flops I've ever had. Cute styles too!

    I have the Sketchers Shape-ups. I don't wear them for the toning, I wear them for the comfort. The soles are so thick you get a big cushion. I love that. I have worn them while walking outside, and on my treadmill. I don't really feel any difference in my muscles. But again, they are very comfy.

    I have the knock off sketchers from champion. I got them at payless for 30 dollars and.they do the same things. I think they work. My calf muscles have been hurting from wearing them.

    I bought the Avia Av-Motion shoes. I've been wearing them for my mid-day and night time power walks and my hamstrings and glutes are stinging. Walking uphill in them really feels like I'm getting a better workout. Even sitting here at work, I can feel some soreness in my glutes.

    I don't expect them to miraculously shape up what has taken me two years to accumulate, but I feel certain that they're helping to burn off some of the fat and my daily caloric intake.
