CommentAuthorclaireandpete
Oh I have a pair too but i've not used them yet i really must give them a go. Let me know how you get on with them!
CommentAuthorMrsC2B
I love mine. It makes me feel slightly smug everytime I wear them that I'm exercising too. Good luck in them! xx
CommentAuthorMel D
ooh which ones did you get? I have some skechers shape ups but mainly for my back as apparently it helps posture. I also have a couple of pairs of fit flops for the same reason, and I live in them during the summer thay're so comfortable.

You just wear them for walking. Mine were just cheap Gola ones they were £20 off eBay but you can get them in Wynsors for about £25 for that price they are worth a go IMO.

Got a pair of the easytones, but not sure whether they're actually doing anything!! x

So tempted to try these - I walk to work every day, so adding something to that would be great! I've tried to use ankle weights, but they dug in and have cut the top of my foot...

I'm pretty sure that Goff (who specialises in the area) said that they do more harm than good for your feet and they are a big no no. The medical field do not recommend them at all. Think there was a thread about it before where she explained the reasons but can't remember what it was called now.
CommentAuthorMrs Q - Weegie
I remember that to Jo tried to find the thread earlier but couldnt.....

CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
Well done for finding it. In the mean time I have copied and pasted what Goff said here for you just in case it gets lost again
Ok - professional head on
DO NOT WEAR THESE THINGS!
Your legs ache because you are using muscles that are NOT meant to be used - its unnatural and you are doing more harm than good.
We prescribe rocker soles to people who have ankle fusions and other limited motion at the foot and ankle - you DON'T have limited motion.........so you figure out what they are doing for a healthy foot and ankle! And don't forget....whatever happens at your feet will affect the whole body - knees, hips, spine etc.....
Please bin these god awful things, they will NOT tone up any part of your body - the only thing that will do that is a good diet and exercise. They are a gimmick - nothing more

PS: Millwalljayne - if you are in pain with your joints, get to your GP and ask to be referred to an Orthotist - we can do a full musculo-skeletal assessment, find out whats going on and hopefully address the symptoms.

Hmm well that puts a downer on the only thing that's managed to lift the weddingcholy that has decended recently. My knee was feeling a bit achey I'm gonna give thm a go and see how I get on but be aware of any aches.
CommentAuthorRingo
My Mum uses these and they're really good.. some of them look abit rubbish but she has easytones which look like proper trainers = )
CommentAuthorbiochrissy
i must say, i have a pair and the only difference is for some reason my toes go numb when im working out in them which i find very strange as they dont when im wlaking in them. but they dont seem to have made any difference to my muscle tone x

CommentAuthorgothprincess
I don't think you are supposed to work out in them I think thy are just for walking but my toes go numb no matter what shoesI wear if I use the cross trainer.
CommentAuthorFlossie
Yep tweedwedding......i've tried them.....and don't see or feel any difference. Also my friends daughter thought that they looked completely naff (which they do!!!) After reading some of this thread tho' i'm a bit freaked out! x
CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
Sorry didn't mean to bust your bubble just thought it would be useful for you to see the other side of things so you can make your own minds up. I would say anything that is making your toes or knees hurt like that is not a good thing though.
CommentAuthorbiochrissy
there are diff types of tonig trainers in the reebok range, ive got the ones for training in. theres some for general like walking then threres some for running. but i now think they're all prob the same n im sorry to anyone who thinks they're great but after using them i dont =( thanks for reposting jo xx

I have never heard of them.. i once advised an ex girlfriend of mine to walk three miles in the morning and then three miles in the evening to shift some unwanted fat.... she asked me if this would work, and i told her it would and at the end of the week she would be 42 miles away, anmd that was good enough for me

Ha ha!
I love my new trainers, they do look like 1995 called and they want their shoes back but if I put my kick flare/boot cut jeans on they cover them up and I'm 2" taller it's like wearing high heals without the indescribable agony associated with wearing high heals.
There's a point I'm not so worried about them doing damage when some people wear stilletoes every day there's no way they could be that bad.

i find mine so comfy tho... i love them
