So, I have to say that I've never owned a more comfortable pair of sneakers and they seem to be working. I've been running in them for about 7 weeks and it seems that I'm getting more toned than I was with regular sneakers.

Just curious if this is all in my head, the running alone is simply giving me the results or if any of you think the sneakers are amazing as well.

    I love my run tones! I definitely feel it the next day when I wear those vs regular running shoes. They have started to lose the effect for me though since I've been using them for so long.

    I don't know...I'm dubious but obviously you should do what is working for you. I haven't tried them myself so I can't draw on any experience but the US Federal Trade Commission filed a legal action against Reebok (and other companies, too, I think) for allegedly misleading customers about the benefits of toning shoes. The FTC examined the evidence and felt that there was no real evidence to support Reebok's advertising claims. The case settled out of court so no determination was ever made by the courts.

    I've heard of people getting hurt in those. Twisting ankles etc. My sister had a pair and she torqued her ankle in them.
