Hello Fellow banders,

I have been wanting a pair of toneing shoes now for awhile, but I need some feed back first from people that have them. Which do you perfer Skechers (Shape- Ups) or Reebook (Easy Tones)?

I think the toning shoes should be avoided. They are designed to intentionally put you slightly off balance which is like asking for injuries in my opinion. I don't even like to watch people walking in them because it makes their gait so unstable, and they're not very effective if they're effective at all. Walking, jogging, or using the elliptical regularly will tone your legs up better than any shoes. My podiatrist recommends New Balance and Asics Gels running shoes for good support (even if they're not specifically going to be used for running).
