I bought these shoes 1 month ago, I have a bad back and bum knees and a torn ligament in my foot that acts up alot. I have tried expensive orthodics in my gymers and that does not help. I was a little skeptical with the 120.00 price of these shoes- but found them for 100.00 and 10% off at shoe planet and also free s/h and no tax which brought my total to 90.00.Online the shoes look a little funky- sole- but they are extremely cute- I bought the black/ white-they also are the most comfortable shoes I`ve ever owned have gone for many walks with the kids and dogs- infact they make me want to walk even more. You can definately feel the difference when you walk- my calves are sore when I finish - which never happend before, and i do notice more toning occuring. I am a thin person to begin with, but my theighs and calves wouldnt hurt to be more toned rather than the slight jiggle! Absolutely the best shoes ever- you wont be dissatisfied.

I read the reviews on these and decided to try them. Most reviews talked about how comfortble these are just for wearing around. THEY ARE NOT to my feet. They make the bottoms of my feet go to sleep while walking, and are overall painfull to wear, especially at first (and yes they are the right size). Speaking of size, they are true to size as far as I can tell, so that should not be a concern when ordering without being able to try them on.

While many reviewers talked about not knowing if they were toning anything, I am convinced that they do indeed help tone your legs/butt. They also do promote good posture. When I am finished walking in them I notice a greater tightness in my lower regions than if I wear normal shoes.

The downfall for me is that they hurt my knees and feet. They do not provide any stability, so if you need that these may be bad for you as well. I feel as though I am slamming my feet down constantly and can't avoid it. I also get a feeling of hyperextention in my knees from they way the shoes make contact with the ground.

I do also notice that, physically, I cannot walk very fast in them so my heart rate does not elevate as much as when I can speed walk in my regular shoes. I would recommend alternating shoes.

I give them 4 stars because I believe they give a better muscle workout, and hope that others w/o stability issues can benefit from them.

I am going to give them a few more miles, but overall I think they are hurting me (orthopedically) more than helping me.

My bf and I first tried this style of shoe at a local KMart. The shoe there was really curved and the sole was so-so. It still for some reason made me curious to try some other brands esp. knowing that usually these shoes sell for a whole more then the $19.99 price tags that were on these. The next day I went to Khols and actauly surprised to see them there. Tried them on and instantly fell in love with them. They still had the rocking motion of coarse but unlike the ones at KMart I did not feel like I was going to fall over. Plus, they were so much more cushiony. I work in a clothing retail store on my feet on a super hard marble floor for 8-10 hours a day so when I get out I need something comfortable. These deffinatly did the trick. I then proceeded to just see what other brands had to offer after trying Avia, 2 other brands I cant remember and even Dr. Scholls, I came right back to these. Now, I cant wait till the Mary Janes actaully come out in stores so I can try those and not kill my feet at work. Over all, there was deff. worth the $80 price differance. None of the other brands even came close.
