I absolutely LOVE this shoe....not the price, a bit unreasonable; but so far, after one month of daily wear, it seems to be the best shoe I have found for heel spur comfort. I am constantly worrying about puncturing the pods, as another review mentioned, but other than that and the steep price....for me it's a pretty comfy wear.
However, they are getting carried away with the toning aspect (buttocks, legs) of the sell, I think, obviously this is a good way to convince women to buy the shoe. One of those "too good to be true" things, like most Americans like to believe in. Nothings going to tone us or help us lose weight like good old fashioned eating less and exercising more!
