I love these shoes. I love them even more because of the awesomely low price I scored them at. Anyway, these are great. I can def feel a difference when going for walks. They make your legs feel like they are actually working. I have not had them long enough to notice a difference to the look of my legs, not sure if they look any more toned. However, they do run a little small, I would order a whole size up. I ordered a 1/2 size up and they could stand to be just a little bigger. They are easy to walk in and even give you a little added bounce to your step! HIghly recommend!
