 Comfy, durable, great walking shoes. Jul 06, 2010
I have been a fitness walker for more than 22 years and have worn a variety of brands - Reebok, Nike, Asics, Avia to name a few. Most have been great walking shoes. I was intrigued when these came out because of the 'instability' pads which we know from many fitness studies does cause the body to engage different muscles and help tone them. I didn't like the dorky looks of the pricey MBTs or the Skechers brand fitness walking shoes, but these look like normal sneakers (except on the bottom, which his hidden.) I bought mine 18 months ago and really like them a lot - and I'm not embarrassed to wear them the way I would be with the MBTs or Skechers. It took a bit of getting used to (tripped up a bit on the stability pads the first day or two) but then they were fine and I walk at least 12 -15 miles per week in them.
My only complaints are this: Pricey -- and you can never find them for under $99 so they seem to be price-fixed, which sucks. Maybe when other brands come out with similar products and there's more competition we'll see some sales. And the second thing is that unlike leather than can be easily wiped, the mesh (while light and breathable) also gets dirty very easily and is tougher to clean. Mine are pretty dingy looking now! They are wearing out, so I am going to order a new pair today.
People need to have realistic expectations. This is not a silver bullet. To lose weight and get toned you have to eat right, workout frequently, sweat and be consistent. And you will not get legs and a butt like the models in the ads by using these just for a few months! But in my experience, these are great fitness walking shoes and the extra work the muscles have to do because of the instability and the additional toning that results is a bonus.
 Not for wide feet! Jun 03, 2010
I bought these last spring. I only wore them a couple of times and I recently dug them out of my closet. However, I cannot wear these for much more than taking my dog around the block. If I try to wear them for actual walking, they make the bottoms and sides of my feet burn/tingle. I have wide feet, and these are clearly not for wide feet. I'm aware they make a version now for wide feet, but when I bought these when they first came out, they didn't have wide versions available, nor had anyone reviewed them. Obviously, since these hurt so much to wear, I haven't been able to see a difference in my muscle tone, nor do I feel like these make my muscles work harder. Also, my heels keep slipping out of the back of the shoes. I wouldn't recommend these if you have wide feet. I'm curious about the wide version, but I'll stick to regular walking shoes from now on. These were a waste of good money.
Waste of money May 28, 2010
These are the worst shoes ever. I got those today and at first when I walked in them around the house they seemed ok, so I went to the park to walk/run and I thought my feet were going to fall off before I make it back to my car. After 10 minutes of walking, my feet started hurting so bad, the pain was excruciating. My muscles did not feel any different, just lots of pain in the bottom of my feet.
Easytone, more like easy pain Feb 10, 2010
I have worn Reebok sneakers for over 20 yrs, and this was the first time I was ever disappointed in them. I only worn them for about 1/2 an hr. to walk the dog, and now both of my feet have been in horrible pain for a week! (both arches are ripped) Hopefully Reebok will do right by a loyal customer and refund me my money.
Horrible- see my full review on the reinspire lux Feb 06, 2010
all of the easytones have the same sole- so this review is also applicable for this shoe. After 41 days and about 60 mi of use, the sole on one of mine totally deflated. The shoes are now useless. Complete and total JUNK. Don't waste your $.
