They are comfortable to wear a little weird at first because of the rocking motion they create.

I saw absolutely no toning whatsoever

My Review 

These shoes are horrible!!! They caused knee problems for me for which I had to go to an orthopedic for and use a walker for 4 weeks. My doctor recommended I get out of these shoes at once and go back to my favorite Reeboks. Once I got out of these I was able to get off the walker and go back to my normal activities after a recuperation time of about 4 weeks.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

No

Wendy Bumgardner, Walking Guide, says:

Always buy toning shoes from a retailer with a generous return policy so you can return them if you have any problems. You can Compare Prices for Skechers Shape-Ups.
