Anyone tried Reebok Easytone/FitFlops or similar?

I really fancy trying some "toning" footwear because I walk miles everyday and could do with giving my muscles a boost. Has anyone tried them? Do they work or is it a bit of a marketing ploy? Looking for recommendations before I start saving up the £70 odd to buy some!

Thanks in advance xx

We were talking about this in the barbers the other day, they seem to be ok unless you suffer from any back problems. My mate said they'd brought on his sciatica, he never knew he had it till he wore them! But his wife wears hers all the time with no problems.

I've got some MBTs. They are extremely comfortable. I'm not sure if they are the reason I've got toned legs or because I do quite a bit of running :rotfl:either way I'm pleased I've got them because they make me a lot taller :T and they go really nice with jeans or trackie bottoms.

I might get some FitFlops for the summer....

I brought some fit flops last year and found them very good. I have a back problem (Spondylosis ) which affects my walking sometimes but I found after a while I coul walk further after wearing them for a while, I wore them everyday last summer, love them.
Avon do a version of there own which are cheaper

I agree with fitflops actually helping a back problem....Ive had problems with my back for 12 years since I had a botched epidural with my eldest and it "goes" every now and then. I llved in my fitflops last year and wore them as slippers round the house during winter...They actually make me feel like my posture is better and Im standing correctly (dunno if this is just in my head or not?). They were quite strange to get used to at first as they feel quite high up but they are soooo comfy!

Mine are still good to go again this year so well worth the money IMO

Thanks everyone! I guess the crunch question is whether they helped with *ahem* pertness, IYSWIM

I love my fitflops and when it gets hot enough wear them all day every day. But I have never noticed any difference in the tne of my legs, I do not drop any inches through toning and although they are very comfy, do not buy the weight related or tone related claims myself.
