These shoes are not for those who think this is how you're going to have great looking legs, butt, etc.  They are very comfortable to wear, and they look nice with just about anything.  They also are not as bulky as the skechers version.  These shoes are not ment for running in, just walking everyday errands etc.  I have never been sore after wearing these, the feeling I get from a good workout.  I've had these shoes for a month now and can't say they make that big of a difference.  I still wear them, but the best way to get your legs looking the way you want is by hitting the gym.
