In a settlement with the FTC,[url=http://billigeparajumpersjackendamen.albirank.net/][b]Billige Parajumpers jacken damen parajumpers outlet long bear herren[/b][/url], Reebok is barred from making any claims that its toning shoes strengthen muscles unless they are "backed by scientific evidence."
But the issue may not be limited to Reebok. Skechers said in a Securities Exchange Commission filing last month that the FTC is investigating its advertising and claims about its toning sneakers. Los Angeles attorney Tina Wolfson filed a lawsuit seeking class-action status in January against New Balance,[url=http://duveticaitaly.albirank.net/][b]Duvetica Piumini italy[/b][/url], alleging its claims about the toning and calorie-burning potential of its toning shoes were false and misleading.
Toning sneakers have rounded heels and other features that purportedly require more energy for walking. Sales of toning shoes hit about $1 billion last year, the FTC said.

The FTC said these claims included that EasyTone shoes had been proved to lead to strength and tone improvements of: 28% in buttock muscles,[url=http://www.duveticajacketsjp.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url], 11% in hamstrings and 11% in calf muscles over regular walking shoes.
"We fully stand behind our EasyTone technology,[url=http://cheapnikesoccercleatsmercurial.webmium.com/][b]cheap nike soccer cleats mercurial[/b][/url]," Reebok said in a statement. "We have received overwhelmingly enthusiastic feedback from thousands of EasyTone customers,[url=http://newkevindurantshoes2012.blogspot.com/][b]new kevin durant shoes 2012[/b][/url], and we remain committed to the continued development of our EasyTone line of products."
The American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine has taken a cautious stance against toning shoes,[url=http://parajumperssale.webmium.com/][b]http://parajumperssale.webmium.com/[/b][/url], which it says can provide benefits for some users but "may have consequences," especially for those with balance problems.
"As is typical in advertising,[url=http://duveticaoutletcanada.halod.com/][b]http://duveticaoutletcanada.halod.com/[/b][/url], some manufacturers greatly overstate the benefits and do not fully disclose the risks associated with toning shoes,[url=http://billigtmonclerdunjackastockholmrea.olimx.com/][b]http://billigtmonclerdunjackastockholmrea.olimx.com/[/b][/url]," the group says on its website.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission's complaint database has more than 20 complaints about toning shoes,[url=http://billigamonclerjackadamsverigeonline.albirank.net/][b]http://billigamonclerjackadamsverigeonline.albirank.net/[/b][/url], including two about Reebok versions. Consumers wrote about pain and injuries including stress fractures.
"The FTC wants national advertisers to understand that they must exercise some responsibility and ensure that their claims for fitness gear are supported by sound science,[url=http://newkevindurantshoes2012.blogspot.com/][b]http://newkevindurantshoes2012.blogspot.com/[/b][/url]," said David Vladeck,[url=http://parajumpersonsalestores.blogspot.com/][b]http://parajumpersonsalestores.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection.
