Toning Sneakers?

[DawnCt1]

Does anyone have these. I bought a pair of the Avia, "Avi-Motion". I am wearing them around the house to be sure they are comfortable. I liked them better than the Sketchers. New Balance has some but they run narrow for me, and I have always found Avia more true to size. I try them outside of the hous later to day. If you have these "rocker bottom" shoes, how do you like them? Can you run in them also?

I have some of the Rebook ones and so far I really like them. They are very comfortable. I don't know that they really tone anything but they are easy on the feet. They don't have the huge sole that the Sketchers have. One thing I have noticed is that you do need to pick your feet up a little higher when walking on thicker carpet, etc. because of the extra little bit on the sole.

I have a pair of sketchers. I only wear them to putt around in. I don't wear them when I do my power/race walking... They aren't stable enough for my feet. I think any/all of those sneakers are good for casual walking; but invest in good workout sneakers to exercise in.

Me too. I like them!

I actually bought some of the Reebok EasyTones - and loved them for just wearing to run errands or whatever for the day. But I recently started walking for exercise and they KILLED me. They don't have a lot of arch support (for me anyway) and my feet were killing me after just a mile. After two weeks, I ended up having to go out and buy some real walking/running shoes.

I have high arches and always have to add arch supports to shoes so I just put some in mine and no issues yet.
