I've been wearing Skecher Shape-ups for over a year but was ready to try the Tone Ups because they have a less obvious look.  I ordered them after trying them on in a store first.  They're so comfortable and didn't need any break in at all.  I also love the way they look.  I don't know about their toning ability because I've been wearing the other shoes for so long but I love them for comfort.  It was also a great price compared to the local stores.  Now I'd like to get another color so I can switch them out part of the time.
