I got these shows about two and a half weeks ago and really like them. I was concerned about the sizing because I've read so many other comments about having to order a size up or down to get a good fit, but these fit me true-to-size. However, they were a bit tight at first in the lace area.

I typically take 3-4 3-mile walks around my neighborhood each week. Although it's too early to tell whether they are actually working to tone muscle, they are very comfortable and I feel like I am working a little harder than I did with the shoes I wore before. In addition, it seems like my posture has improved since the balance pods force you to stand a little straighter.
