Comfort 

Very comfortable

Praise or problems with comfort and wearability? 

These are very comfortable! Before my back and knees bothered me when I walked at work or for recreation and now I am pain free.

Toning and Workout 

Great results

What toning results have you seen? 

My body fat has gone from 50% to 40% in four months. I can feel the difference in my muscle tone in my legs and hips. The shoes are the only difference in my routine.

My Review 

These shoes have made an incredible difference in my posture. I am standing up straighter and walking the correct way now. When I started walking for recreation, I had to work up to walking in them for several hours or my legs got really tired. I recommend starting at 15 to 20 minutes of steady walking and then progress from there.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes
