I bought these shoes because I have back problems and heard from other people that the toner shoes are good for that.  I think the Reebok look far more stylish than the other brands.  I can't always wear regular sneakers and be comfortable all day, but I can in these.  I love them.  I didn't think they were going to tone my muscles and I still don't believe it.  Figuring I didn't change the amount I walk, my legs look the same.  Two things I think are important to note.  One, they do make me taller.  I consider this a minus.  I am taller than I really want to be now.  Two, I had trouble driving in the them at first.  I was orginally wearing them at work after changing out of my boots.  One day I went to the mall after work and decided to wear the EasyTone there.  I had trouble breaking accurately.  Now I don't even notice it, but be careful the first time.
