4.0 out of 5 stars
Stable shoe with toning properties, August 13, 2009
This review is from: Reebok Women's EasyTone Rush SF Walking Shoe (Apparel)
I'm not a fan of the way this shoe looks - its like something my grandmother would wear. However, the shoe itself is very well constructed. I broke my ankle a few years ago so I need a lot of support. This shoe definitely offers much support. The shoe is true to size for a running shoe (you should always order your running shoes a half size larger than your normal shoe size) and very snug on my foot. My feet are a "regular" width and I find this shoe very snug so it may not be comfortable for those with wide feet.
There are 2 pods on the bottom of the shoe that mimic natural instability. The instability is unnoticeable after your first use. What I like about this shoe is that it feels sturdy and like a normal walking shoe unlike the 3-letter crazy expensive pair that I own. Plus its not heavy like that other pair.
As for the toning properties... I walked for 40 minutes at 4.0 on a treadmill and after the second day on the treadmill the back of my legs were a bit sore. On the third day after using the treadmill my legs were extremely sore. So yes, this shoe works. I'm young and in good shape but I think these shoes add an extra boost to your step so that you muscles are working just a tad harder. I wouldn't call it the miracle shoe but if you are always on your feet or take regular long walks then this shoe will add an extra element of "work-out" to your day.

Not an MBT, August 21, 2009
This review is from: Reebok Women's EasyTone Rush SF Walking Shoe (Apparel)
After much searching for a cheaper MBT, I settled for the Reebok as I liked it's more streamlined look. However, they do not look as good as in the picture, and they are heavy and stiff. I spent an entire day power walking in these and felt nothing but uncomfortable(like from wearing an ill-fitting shoe). I had a blister from the tongue on one shoe and felt like I'd gotten a crappy sneaker rather than a fitness shoe. I have tried on the sketchers shape up shoes and felt like they were working just walking around the shoe store. I will be sending these Reeboks back and investing in a pair of Sketchers.

I love these shoes!, November 26, 2009
This review is from: Reebok Women's EasyTone Rush SF Walking Shoe (Apparel)
My husband asked me if I wanted some shoes from eastbay.com since he was ordering some and of course I said yes. I'm athletic and run about 20-35 miles a week and usually buy shoes based on comfort and price vs. brand and technology. I saw the commercial for these and since I wasn't really sure what to get on the website I asked my husband if it was ok I get them but was hesitant because they're out of my usual price range.
Compared to other "Balance" shoes these are very comfortable and although a little bulky not nearly as unslightly as other shoes such as MBT or sketchers. Walking down stairs is a little uncomfortable when getting used to these. The first week I had some discomfort with my feet going numb and being a little tight in the large toe area, especially when running long distnaces but after three weeks I adjusted. These are not the most comfortable shoe in the world I don't have any back or knee pain and my mile time has improved. My calves and thighs feel like they're burning
I can't believe how amazing my butt and thighs look. I LOVE IT!!! I feel a lot more confident. I can feel and see the tone in my legs and my cellulite has disapeared (note I didn't have a lot to begin with but has increased with age.) I'm an average pear shaped sized woman 5'6 150lbs age 30. I didn't lose weight but my pant size dropped from a womens 10 to an 8 in three weeks and to me that says a lot about the shoe and is worth it to me.
I would definately recommend you give these shoes a try. I will be investing in a pair of easytone sandles once the snow melts here! They aren't miracle workers, you have to do some work but they add the extra OOMPH! If you're looking for toned legs, as agreed with the other rating, if only they could make something to do the same for my abs beside the yoga ball!
