 Not the best... Jul 13, 2010
These shoes are very over priced and not very durable. If your a tall girl like me at 5'11 the last thing you want is to add another 2-3 inches... If anyone is interested in these shoes because they have a knee injury or have to stand a lot at work I recomend buying a pair of reasonable priced shoes and then putting doctor sholls inserts in them like I ended up doing. Oh and don't even consider running in these shoes you will brake your neck
Too Small and Toes Numb Jul 10, 2010
The advertisement for these shoes said "true to size", so I ordered a size 5. I quit wearing them after about 2 weeks; I couldn't take the numbing in my toes any longer. A friend suggested the numbing was due to the shoes being too small. I ordered a size 5.5 and a size 6. The size 6 fit better, but the numbing continued. I've never had this problem w/other sneaker or athetic shoes. Also, I noticed that my feet pronated in these shoes. They're going back in the morning.

Not at all what I expected... Jul 01, 2010
I researched long and hard before splurging the money on these sneakers. They do have many positive reviews. I even went so far as buying the "generic" version by LA Gear. (Those were like walking on a brick). I am overweight with a very busy schedule and no time to exercise and I thought it'd be a good way to get some toning while I do my day to day activities. I noticed once before I bought them a lady wearing them at the mall, and she was like twisting her ankles in and out with every step, almost like sideways back and forth. That should have been my first clue these shoes stunk, but I disregarded it in my desperate hope to lose weight.
These shoes do cause you to over-pronate, as the other reviewers stated. Which in turn causes knee pain. I have a back injury from an epidural I received and these shoes really flare it up. I really wouldn't suggest these shoes to people with either back or knee injuries, or to those with weak ankles. They are also bulky so if you're clumsy you may fall or twist an ankle (as I did). Also,I find it awkward to drive with them on, since they're oddly shaped it causes me to hit the gas and brake pedals in a different way. If you like to half walk/ half jog for your exercise, think again, as you cannot jog or run in these. Skechers came out with these Skechers Women's Shape-Ups XF-Accelerators Lace-Up for that to suck the rest of your wallet dry.
That isn't even the worst of it, I haven't felt one ounce of improvement, no soreness in my muscles, no added shape to my calves or thighs, and surely no weight-loss. I feel like I bought into the hype and got suckered. I'm glad these shoes worked well for some folks, but I feel like I got ripped off and I have no one to blame but myself. I'm sure many people will knock this review but I am just being honest about my experience with these sneakers, including feeling stupid for allowing myself to buy into the hype. They are soft and cushion-y, I do give them that. But after 3 months of use, no "fitness" improvement AT ALL. I will be selling them on that auction site soon while I cant still get my money back for them.
Love them! Jun 23, 2010
I've been wearing these for about 2 1/2 weeks now walking 5-6 days a week. The first few times I wore them I noticed my lower back felt sore but it was the muscles in my back and not my spine. Wearing these shoes works your back muscles as well as your legs... who knew? Anyway, by day 3 or so my muscles got used to the new way of walking and I've been going strong since. Every other shoe I tried made my feet hurt by mile 2, but I can walk almost 4 miles a day in these with no pain in my feet. Like another reviewer, I had some numbness in my right foot after wearing these only a short time. I adjusted the laces as per that reviewer's advice and I was all set, no more numbness. I actually look forward to walking every day now!
