I have a pair of the Easytone that I should have replaced a long time ago, cause I have been using for two years. I have a ton of sneakers and that is the only one I use. I live in a big city and we walk a lot here and those shoes have been great, so comfortable and I do feel that my muscle working when I use it, since they are instability and I have to balance my body. I also use it at the gym, I find a little hard to walk in the treadmill, but that is ok cause I am getting more exercise that way. Another thing that I have noticed is that I can walk faster in them, I am usually late so that is how I figured out.
These shoes will definitely not make you fit, people that bought them for that purpose are lazy. If you want to get fit you will have to make an effort and actually go exercising.
I am very excited to buy myself I new pair.

I own a pair of these shoes. Although I am not sure that they tone anything I would like to say that I spend all day on my feet and do alot of walking. Since purchacing these sneakers I feel fantastic, I feel like im walking on air and it makes my day much easier. I love them

I purchased these for $700HK (about 150) in Hong Kong last year.

I notice my ankle rolls, and my feet get pushed in together when I walk.

Also, they fell apart very quickly.

They are pretty much a scam. Fun when I first bought them, but I should have done some research first.

I wish Rebock could give me a refund. I would never buy Rebock shoes again.

I know each person is different but I have purchased countless pairs of shoes and the Reebok Runtones are by far the best I have owned! I am 250lbs on concrete floors for 8 hours a day and then hit the gym after work for an hour to and hour and a half. I have been doing that for a year now with no problems. I wouldn’t trade mine for anything. They may not “shape you up” but don’t count them out as a great pair of comfortable shoes.

I just bought a pair of the SIMPLYTone shoes- where I work I am standing and walking on concrete all day – I bought these shoes because they are very comfortable and very cushioned with each step.

I bought a pair of these Reebok toning shoes. I was made up with them as they made me look a little taller aswell. In august I ended up walking 10 miles in them,I got a bit lost. That night my foot underneath was really painfull, it carried on for days. i went the hospital who didn’t xray when I said I was just walking and didn’t fall or anything. It carried on for a month being painfull and me walking in a pair of old crocs for a month. Went back to Doctors and walk in centre, who all said its a sprain and it will take time. Finally today I went to my own Doctor who’s been away, and he sent me for an xray, at last.

Lady doing xray looked at machine with a bit of shock on her face and called someone in, who asked how I done this, I just said walking. she then asked when I done it. I said August and everyone’s been telling me its a sprain and to take pain killers. So won’t know till I go back to Doctor to find out results, but am not looking forward to it.

I am a very fit sports coach, and usually do a lot of walking and cycling. I have been very restricted because of my foot injury. I would not recommend these trainees to anybody. I have been trampolining for the majority of my life without a single injury. Trampolining is a high risk sport, walking should not be.

please take my ADVICE

Hi Yami,

Excellent article! I don’t generally run out and try things but was curious about how these would feel and gave them a quick try. Within 5 min of walking I had a cramp starting in the arch of my foot and had to modify my natural stride just so that I could walking without wincing. I definitely see where they were going with the instability like with a bosu ball, but as you said instability is not what you want for every activity.

Hope other people see this article before the cause themselves a future foot problem with these shoes!

Bests,
Staci

I have lower back pain after walking my two miles in the mall every day in these shoes. Also the tendinitis I occasionally have flares up everytime I wear these. The bouncing is fun while walking and I seem to be able to walk faster but is it worth this pain?
