I am just wondering if anyone has Reebok EasyTones they use for work/school? I need to buy shoes as I will be starting school in August, please let me know your opinion if you wear them....Thanks!

I just got these for my daily walks. Love them! I was skeptical about the toning claims, but my legs were really sore for the first week, so they did something. I cannot wear them for my nursing program, as I need all white leather with no mesh or holes, but I think they would be great for that. They are extremely comfortable and supportive.
Thanks for the advice. You can get them in all leather now, I'm not sure if they are available in the store or just online, but I saw them online-and they come in all white. I'm definately going to look into getting a pair!

I just tried them in Dillard's because I was looking for shoes. I thought they were cozy and snug, and I wouldn't mind walking a few miles in those. But I got some NBs instead. I thought the Reebok was a little too athletic looking for my tastes. :)

I have them and love them!
They seem to improve my posture too and make my legs feel kind of sore but good at the end of my shift. If you have to wear sneakers anyway, why not wear a pair that will help you work out a little? We are all so busy that I think this is a great way to do something good for yourself without any extra effort.
Plus-I think they look better than the other brands that look like orthopedic shoes

I tried on a pair of Reebok RUN Tones and I loved them. I liked them better than the Easy Tones but I can't find them in anything except mesh and like the other poster said, we have to have leather.

You can order the Easy Tone in all white here: Home - Reebok
I might try them as our program just specifies white shoes: Closed toe and heel, no clogs. Since it doesn't need to be leather, these might be great!

i wore easy tone's for about 4 months and totally ****** up my ankles. later heard from a physical trainer that he has seen tons of people cause permanent damage with this type of shoe. buyer beware!
Well. My ankles certainly don't need to be ******! I wonder if that's true for the shoes like Skechers Shape Ups?

I got the EasyTones for Christmas and they were too small in size and felt too stiff and I knew I was going to trip over myself so I sent them back.
In March I got the RunTones. They are a little lighter and very very comfortable. Since my feet are like horsefeet I have to buy a new pair soon because they are ripping on the side. They are very sheer and see through on the top so make sure you wear white socks.
