I got a pair of these custom designed for christmas, and I love them.

They fit really well under jeans so they make it easy to wear everyday. I can walk in these all day and my feet and legs still feel great. While I haven’t worn them enough to see results, but my butt and hamstrings feel like I have worked them out a little. I don’t know if they will make me look better in the long run, but I feel good in these shoes, and when I feel good, I look good.

I think the writer of this “fad alert” is just a cynical, pessimist that wants to make other people feel stupid for wanting an edge on toning muscle. Sounds like a fat person that has no intention of losing weight that wants rain on the parade.

I love the shoes!!!!!!!

I also have to lift weights and swim in addition to walking. Of course when I lift weights I wear a different pair of shoes, but that’s not sooooo difficult to pull off, “writer” of this article.

Anyone who has these shoes and is happy with yourself and your workout regimin…good for you!!!

I would like to read ONE review of these shoes without the snarky comments about lazy people and fatt butts and getting off of said butt. What fitness snobs these writers are. They must look good, but who’d want to be around them?

Anyhow, I agree with the commenters who point out that if the shoe feels good, people will walk in the damn thing, which is the objective, I believe.

I love these shoes so far. I had no trouble getting used to them, even with my ski-injured ankles that are prone to giving way unexpectedly. I have a narrow mid-foot, flat arch and a very narrow heel. I tend to pronate, but not badly. It’s hard for me to find shoes that fit. These are so comfortable I don’t even know I have them on. Roomy for me in the toe box, since my foot is narrow, but I don’t slide around in it. It doesn’t slip on my heel. I can lace it snugly without cutting the circulation off.

Nike, Saucony, and Asics shoes tend to fit me well, but not Adidas (always too wide). That may give you a sense of how these fit, in terms of foot types.

I bought the reebok easytone shoes because they had an appealing promise and I needed a new pair of walking shoes anyway. As it turns out, they are THE most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I used to get back pain if I wore regular tennis shoes out and about, but have yet to experience that yet and I have owned and wore this shoe often for about a month. So far, I don’t notice a change in my glutes, but I have noticed more tone in my lower legs for sure! I recommend them!

I am planning to get a pair of the Reebok Easy Tone shoes as soon as I can find a pair. The Athletic Foot store near my house didn’t carry them and the advice on how to get them was a little shaky.

After reading the comments I am scared that the athletic shoe with work clothes/skirts/dresses will kick into high gear again. The people who like beautiful things are trying hard to get rid of that fad – the clothes and the person look a little unkempt.

I am still going to get a pair of the easy tones, but I promise I will only wear them with jeans or workout clothing – never with my skirts.

I think that earth shoes work just fine. They have a variety of styles (sneakers to “dressy”-type shoes) so there is no excuse to not wear them all the time http://www.earthfootwear.com/

I am still intrigued by easy tones, and actually plan on trying some on and seeing how they feel in the store.

I’m a dance instructor, immediately you’r eall assuming I have a dancer’s body…haha not even close. I am not genetically built to have a dancers body and it really (for lack of a better word) sucks that I’ve spent so much time obsessing over it. The most important thing that I teach my students is that it doesn’t matter what shape you are, we’re not all 5′10 and 100 lbs, it matters that you’re healthy and active. If these sneakers encourage more activity and healthier movement then why the hell not? No, you’re not going to lose 60lbs walking on them, but they might make you feel better. Even if they are one small part of your new healthy lifestyle, it’s still a healthy lifestyle.

Walking is the best exercise and overall toner for me. It’s something I can do consistently. My stomach is tighter, my legs and butt are more toned and I simply feel better. I read another post on Prevention about exercise insoles that fit into sneakers and shoes that help increase circulation and burn calories. I wear them everywhere I go. They’re really comfortable, and I felt the difference in my legs and butt almost immediately. They’re like the new Reebok EasyTone, but less than $30. I’m always looking for ways to enhance weight loss and these insoles are a real help. They’re called Smartsole exercise insoles http://www.smartsole.com I saw a discount code MB10 for 10% off on a coupon board.
