4.0 out of 5 stars
Good running shoe, October 11, 2010
This review is from: Reebok Women's Runtone Action Running Shoe (Apparel)
I can feel these shoes working and toning my muscles whether I wear them walking or running. I love these shoes, and wouldn't trade them, but here are some helpful notes: Out of the box, I noticed that the tongue of the shoe is a little large/oversized, and therefore I am unable to lace my shoes as tight as I normally would. If you plan to be on your feet all day, I would not suggest putting these on. My feet were very sore after having them on consistently for a few hours, and I started to get calluses on the bottoms of my feet. Also, I have noticed the back of my left shoe seems short. When I wear ankle socks with these shoes, the socks slip down to the bottom of my feet after walking 1/10 of a mile. The mesh on the top and sides of the shoe are nice for the summer heat, but if you wear these shoes in the cold weather or rain, you will have some cold feet. I tried these on in a store before buying, and I am glad that I did - I purchased 1/2 size lower than I normally wear. Shop around for a good deal before you drop $100 on a pair of shoes - I got mine new for $75 online ($84 with shipping).

Great sneakers until month 2, October 19, 2010
This review is from: Reebok Women's Runtone Action Running Shoe (Apparel)
I've bought these on Endless.com, also owned by Amazon, I love their excellent service here via Amazon. With any product, I try to give the most accurate rating I can. I did leave a review on endless.com and I gave it a 4 star. I love how comfortable these sneakers are and I've read many reviews about the comfort of these sneakers.
It's a new type of sneaker that requires some getting used to. It does actually work you out. I was looking into getting the Easytone, but decided on the Runtone just in case I wanted to run some day. That hasn't even happened yet. The sneakers are great for walking and I can feel the difference it makes walking with these sneakers because it truly does work your legs.
However, after owning this pair of sneaker for only 3 months, it's completely ripping from the seams.
I feel it's useful to let other people know that this sneaker looks great, feels great, but is VERY poor in holding up-poor craftsmanship. It will rip! It has ripped on me starting since last month (which would be 2 months of being worn), I wear black socks and have the black pair so it's harder to notice and I didn't notice at first. Then I saw the HOLE just start from tiny, to now about 1 inch. I don't even use the sneakers to run!
The craftsmanship for the sneaker is AWFUL, it will not hold up to occassional walking! I do not run, I don't walk much besides the average shopping and walking. I'd advise against getting this product from Reebok until they fix their craftsmanship problem because the design is great, the look is great, but the quality/construction truly sucks.
Don't be short changed $100 for a nice looking sneaker that won't even last you for more than 2 months. Now, I'm only hoping Reebok will do something about the money I've lost in investing in their pretty sneakers that just didn't hold up.
EDIT: I've contacted Reebok on Facebook and their customer service through there was very fast to respond back. They asked me to send back the ripped pairs and they are replacing them for a new pair. I'm currently waiting for the new pair. I'll update with further conditions of the 2nd pair.

ouch ouch ouch yaaaaa, November 4, 2010
After reading the other reviews for these shoes I just had to go to the mall just to try them on. When I tried them on I fell in love! I wear a 9.5-10 size shoe so the 10 was best for me. These shoes fit like a glove....or like, you know when you put on a brand new pair of socks for the first time? Ya, like that....but every time!
I have extremely narrow feet and a fairly high arch and I was super impressed by how much support I felt, especially around my ankle.
I could instantly feel the instability caused by the air bubbles in the sole, as well as the cushioning they create.
Lucky for me they were on sale for $79.99 so my husband had no reason not to buy them for me, with the rule that I couldn't use them until Christmas :(
Later that week my hubby bought himself a pair of shoes (that he wore right away) so only saw it fair to allow me to use mine.
Now, I do a lot of circuit training and weight training especially in my legs. So unfortunately I couldn't feel if my legs were working any harder during my run because I had just done my leg workout that morning. By the end of the evening however I could tell that my legs were worked a lot harder than a regular work out and run, and the next day I could hardly run more than 5 minutes with out feeling my muscles screaming at me.
Wonderful!
Not only are they the most comfortable shoes ever (I seriously don't want to take them off) they also give me 10x the work out. I am so excited to start using them with my weight training!
