These shoes are wonderful. I wear them to work every day and can really feel a difference in my legs. They are pricey, but it's worth it. When these shoes wear out, I will definitely get another pair. They are so comfortable and only took a couple days to get used to them.
MORE INFORMATION:
I chose these over the shape-ups because I read reviews that said they were hard to stand still in.

Thanks - I have been considering buying these and have been wondering if they are worth the money. I bought the "Fit Flops" last year, and although they are quite comfy, and effective, they are really not very attractive. I think I'm going to buy the Reeboks.

I bought these as well. I can feel the burn in my legs and bootie, but I also feel my abs engage more to stand on the balance balls. I like these because they look like normal tennis shoes for the most part. (The shape-ups look orthopedic to me) And they seemed to be the best constructed shoes I could find at the store.

These look so much better than the sketchers shoes, but the ball portion in the front of the shoe seems to squeeze my foot. Its not as bad when you are walking, but if you are sitting it starts to get uncomfortable. I have a really high arch so it might be my foot that is causing the issue. I walk a ton so I wasn't really suprised the I didn't feel any additional muscle burn.

I've been dreaming of the Reebok Easy Tone for a long time, but can't afford them.
I wandered into Payless and found this shoe this week. It's similar to the Reebok in style, but it doesn't have the price tag. With BOGO, I got 2 pair for $45, and the support I was looking for.331
Start your day with exercising. So many things happen during the course of the day and next thing you know, you've gone a whole week without exercising.
