ShapeUps & EasyTones - You're Getting Ripped Off

  i'd rather spend that money on a really good pair of running shoes and spend my time getting sore legs and butt that way.  I mean, let's be honest.  The girls you see in the commercials/ads wearing those shoes were already skinny to begin with, had lighting set up to avoid any possible cellulite spots, and then were photoshopped within an inch of their lives afterwards. 
  
  If it's used as a jump start for someone who never works out to get them started on exercising, I guess I can see the use of it.  But, not for that much money.  Maybe half the price.

  I completely agree that the price is insane!! But I got mine on a 30% off sale at Kohl's and used a couple of my Kohl's cash and got them for about $70 instead!  Even that's more than I would normally spend on shoes by far, but since I was really curious, I figured $70 wasn't tooooo bad a splurge! hehe (:^D

  I'd just like to say that while they may not cause a great change in your looks, I bought a pair of the EasyTones (because the ShapeUps are absolutely hideous) and I feel more motivated to workout now that I have them. I think for me getting them was more of a step in the right direction, and I find now that I have them I work out more often. So while the shoes could in no way supplement exercise, they have made me more apt to go to the gym than I was before I got them.

  jrcottle, just make sure you're not doing any lateral (side-to-side) movements in them.  They are meant only for walking and running.  With the way the shoes work, you are more prone to injury with anything else.

  
  We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

  I always say don't believe everything you read about on the internet. With that in mind I have a pair of easytone and i think there awesome.  I'm have very bad lower back pain when in regular shoes.  I'm on my feet constantly at my job and since purchasing these shoes they've cut down on a lot of my pain.  I more so bought them for the comfort and cushion they have then the toning they supposdly do.  But at least once a day I do feel a little soreness in my caves and my legs.  So I guess its working.  I'm just happy I can stand all day on my feet if needed with these shoes.
