I purchased these because I had the same pair of Asics for years and was way overdue for an upgrade. Mind you, I was not super active when I bought these, but upon getting them, I immediately decided to start training for a 5k. I read the box and all the packaging and it appeared that you could exercise wearing these shoes. Being a novice runner, I didn't think twice about the fact that they do not claim these are RUNNING shoes.

My mistake led to a serious knee injury from running 2 miles a day for a week. I wasn't sure it was the shoes until I switched back to my old Asics and felt immediate relief. I have since purchased a different pair of shoes for running, but plan to keep the Skecher Tone Ups for walking and light exercise. They are really cute and comfortable, but do not provide proper support if you intend to run.

There weren't any reviews regarding running when I purchased these, so hopefully now someone is able to learn from my experience.
