(UPDATED REVIEW AT THE END)

I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ORDERING A WHOLE SIZE LARGER THAN NORMAL.

I normally wear a size 6 across the board. Only once in a great while I have had to buy a 6.5 and that is usually with sandals. I ordered these Reebok's in a 6.5 since I had heard they run small and the 6.5 is still VERY snug on me. I thought maybe they would lossen up some after wearing them, but it isn't happening. It is to the point that my feet are literally going numb, they are so tight. They look big enough but once I put them on, wow, they are tight. I think it has something to do with the padding inside the sneaker. Even to hold them up to another pair of my size 6 sneakers, these are a little longer, so it has to be something on the inside making them run so small.

I have worn them all day and evening long for 3 days, hoping they would loosen up, but as I said above, no such luck. I haven't felt any difference in my legs while wearing them this very short time period and am hoping to have better results with a pair that fit properly. Boy do my feet feel sooo much better after taking them off! I can't believe they run so small. I have never, ever wore a size 7 shoe of any kind, but apparently that's what size I need with these!

They do look ghood and seem to be well made. I didn't notice my stability to be "off" at all, which is how they are supposed to work..but again, maybe that has to do with not fitting properly. The soles (the actual bottoms, the pods on the bottom) feel good. It cushions and presses in when you walk. They absorb impact very well because of the pods.

I ordered mine from EastBay in order to take advantage of Bing CashBack and I am going to return them for an even bigger size. Thanks goodness the shipping was free and free returns.

UPDATE AFTER RECEIVING CORRECT SIZE:

I have been wearing the size 7 now for 2 weeks. They fit MUCH better. I did have to "break" them in a little still though. I have to say that these are really comfortable now that I have been wearing them regularly. I am on my feet constantly at work, and again when I get home. I get alot of walking in at work though and I have a physical job and these sneakers have been great in a variety of ways.

First of all YES I do believe they do SOME toning. I believe this because I can FEEL it in my legs, thighs and butt. These sneakers are by no means a replacement for exercise, but rather a boost to the activity you already do. I already walk a ton, to these give me a boost.

Secondly, since I have been wearing these sneakers regularly I have a significant decrease in back aches/pains. I am telling you I used to have back aches every single day after work. It was to the point that once I stopped moving for a minute or two, my back would feel like it was stuck and I couldn't move and it just ached like crazy. I can honestly say without a doubt that these sneakers have reduced that problem greatly! I have almost no back pain at all since I have been wearing them. That in itself is amazing to me and even if they didn't provide the toning benefits, I would still buy them for relieving the back pain.

I think these sneakers, due to the cushions on the soles used for toning, greatly absorb impact and that is why they have been so helpful wiTH my back pain. That is the only thing I can think of. They feel great to walk around in/on all day. They are very cushiony. With the balls on the bottom, it feels like you are stepping onto a cushion with each step. The ball things are soft kinda and push in as you step down.

I have never been a Reebok fan but I gaurantee I will buy more of these sneakers once this pair wears out. The comfort level and the decrease in my back pain/problems has me absolutely thrilled. The toning benefits are great too, but it is a close tie with relieving the back pain. That was an added, unexpected bonus that I am grateful for. I am so glad that I decided to give these a try and I do recommend them for the toning benefits and for relieving back pain. Totally worth it. JUST MAKE SURE YOU BUY THE RIGHT SIZE - A SIZE LARGER THAN USUAL.

I'm actually not much of a sneaker person, but after reading so many positive reviews for this product, I had to give them a try. They are very comfortable, sort of like walking on pillows. Whether or not they'll really help me tone-up remains to be seen, but even the first day wearing them it felt like my legs muscles had gotten a light workout; obviously not the same calibre as a gym workout, but definitely that faint soreness after wearing them around the house for a few hours. As far as sizing goes, I'm generally anywhere between a 5.5 and 6.5, depending on the shoe, but with these I had to size-up to a 7.

I have had my eye on these since the first commercial. I owned a pair of toning flip flops from curves and loved the feel and comfort and hoped these would be the same, only more stylish. I recieved them for Christmas and can't stop wearing them!!

I work ALL day on my feet and try to take care of my legs (however I am not in tip top shape). The first day I wore both TED hose (to keep Vericose Veins at bay) and socks. I really couldn't tell at the time how comfortable these shoes were, but still liked them. The 2nd day I tried w/o the TED hose and just wore a sock. AMAZING difference. They were so comfortable & breathable. That night I could feel the backs of my legs ached a slight bit, like I had done a short workout. A couple more days down and still experiencing the same results.

Do I expect these to give me rock hard muscles, no, but I do believe they will benefit me in 2 ways, help give a boost on toning and let me work in comfort at the same time. Who knows I may be shocked on the toning benefits over time. I will say that I do feel as though my posture is better with these. I also noticed my legs don't seem to tire, as with other shoes.

Would I recommend these to a friend? YES! Would I buy another pair? Yes, in fact I am thinking about going ahead and ordering another pair to have on hand & a pair of flip flops.

I got a pair of EasyTone Reeinspire for Christmas. I have worn them about 4 or 5 days a week. I was really happpy with them until this week. The bulges on the bottom of one of them collapsed and caved in. For what they cost, I would have expected them to last more than 2 1/2 months. THEY ARE NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!

I bought these shoes with the hope to tone my legs and butt.. It def helped me to work out more because I do not get shin splits in these sneakers.. most sneakers I have bought didnt help with the shock on my legs.. they are soo comfortable too I wear them everyday and to work out in!! i recommend these 100% ( i bought a .5 size up and they fit perfectly)

I have tried to get used to these shoes but they kill my feet. I usually walk a couple of miles but after a mile or so wearing these, I end up hobbling back to the house. My arches get achy and my toes go numb. They are the right size and I have tried to loosen the laces but nothing helps. They are very stiff, I am trying to see if they will "break in" but they don't seem to be doing so. I cannot comment on whether or not they are working out my legs more because I am more concerned about my foot pain. I am going to keep trying to use them on short walks to see if they get better but for now I feel like I wasted $100.

They felt really comfortable in the store, nice and soft, fit my foot perfectly_I'm a sz 7 and they fit like a 7 so I wouldn't go a size larger. However, upon walking in them, they are too soft (I am not heavy by any means) and offer no support. My feet absolutely KILL a couple blocks into the walk, my toes go numb, the arch hurts (I have high arches and they just flatten out walking in these-they r fine standing around in these shoes) the bottom of my heels hurt terribly. I think if u r a serious walker and want to walk with some speed for more than a couple blocks I would pass these by. I have had a pair of Shape Ups since December and I LOVE them, the Reebok's don't even come close. I purchased the Reebok's because I wanted to wear them tot he gym as the Shape ups aren't great to wear while lifting weights (due to the curved sole) One last note: I DO NOT feel any type of a work out with the Reebok's like I do with the Shape Ups.

I have not used the sneakers for anything other than walking 5 miles a day for 2 months. My right sneaker has finally given out. Both the front and back pads have tears in them and deflate every time I take a step. For 100 dollars, I expected the shoe to be of better quality. I spent half that in another pair and other than the sole being worn, it is still in tact. Please don't give into the hype, it's not really noticeable.

When I hit about the 2 mile mark, the balls of my feet ache horribly. I have to cut my walk short every time. I tried insoles, but the shoes are so tight that it makes my feet numb. I tried two pairs of socks, which helped some. I didn't notice this problem until about a month or so after wearing them, so I wonder if something in them wore out to make this happen. I am disappointed in how much I spent on these shoes for the way they make my feet ache. I do think that they help tone, I just wish I could wear them without the discomfort.

I purchased my easytones shortly before Christmas last year, and I'd say I've worn them about half of the days since then. I like the shoes. They're comfortable and they do tone you up nicely. For some reason, when I bought the shoes I was thinking that they would tone my whole leg. Not the case, they only tone the backs of my legs (which look pretty darn fabulous if I do say so myself). It's a good buy, but they won't completely substitute an exercise program if you need to tone up all the way around your legs.
