Can toning shoes be used for aerobics/light jogging?

I just bought some super comfortable New Balance 850 Truebalance shoes yesterday. I tried them on before I knew they were toning shoes and found the comfort amazing. Anyway I bought them, but the insert says use only for walking. I am wondering if its just so they can avoid lawsuits or something.

    I have Sketchers Shape Ups, I think those are considered toning! I use them when I take the dogs jogging or run on the elliptical. The only thing I've noticed is that my calves start feeling the burn faster than normal tennis shoes!

    After reading up on them, I'd have say they are just for walking.

    The idea is that they create a slight instability so that you use your body (muscles) more. Using them while running or during aerobics would most like get you a sprained/broken ankle.

    That's my take on it anyway.

    I wouldn't wear them for jogging. Too easy to land weird and sprain an ankle.
