It is hard to ignore the ever-increasing advertisements for toning shoes.  Glamorous TV ads featuring A-List celebrities and glossy magazine advertisements claim that just by wearing their toning shoes, you will lose weight and slenderize your body.  However, with toning shoe sales on the rise, we are also seeing more fall-related injuries due to the design of the Skechers Shape-ups.  Although Skechers claims that they have put these shoes through rigorous studies, we have come to find out that these studies were conducted and paid for by Skechers themselves, and not peer reviewed.  Further more, in an investigation conducted by the American Council on Exercise and Consumer Reports, it has been found that these shoes do not have any additional benefits over regular exercise shoes and are actually causing more harm then good.

Common Skechers Shape-up Injuries

Some common injuries that are being reported due to Skecher Shape-ups include:
