The market for "toning shoes" is as hot as black asphalt in the Texas summer heat. On a recent trip to Designer Shoe Warehouse, I found an entire half-aisle devoted to all types of toners: Skechers, Reebok, New Balance, etc.

Do these shoes really do that much? I
blogged about my first experience with Reebok EasyTones last March. In short, I like them but I don't think they're going to give you that hot, Kim Kardsashian or Cameron Diaz booty overnight. I don't believe you'll get cut calves and quads simply by wearing them.

I'm on my second pair of Reebok "toning" shoes, this time the RunTone vs the EasyTone. I love them but not for the reasons you might think.
Plainly put, I like the cushion that the balance ball pods provide. I use these shoes for running errands, cardio on machines, lifting weights and taking classes at the gym. The balance pods just feel good on my feet and for the average daily workout I do, they are my new favorite shoe.
