"I bought the Shape-up shoes last February to work in. I had worn them for an hour or so. I went home and was going up our steps to our front porch. When I got to the top step, the shoes rocked me back causing me to fall. I dislocated my shoulder and fractured my rotator cuff. I ended up missing work for 3 ½ months and I'm in constant pain." Lora B., Lancaster, KY.

"Wearing the toning shoes for a couple of years caused my meniscus to tear. I was in extreme pain for several weeks. I had to undergo cortisone shots, numerous doctor visits and 4 weeks of expensive physical therapy." Sandra F., Bryan, TX.

"The first time I wore my Skechers, I twisted my ankle and broke my elbow. I ended up having a surgery with 3 screws in my elbow and 3 months of therapy. If you ever watched the video of the “15 minute work out” you get with the shoes, the woman doing the work out said at one point, 'Oops, I almost fell!'" Keri K.., Appleton, WI

"I was an active 61 year old female on my way to the gym when I fell wearing my new Skechers Shape-up sneakers walking down a step on October 28, 2010. A lot of damage was done to my right leg and foot due to the fall and the way my leg twisted. I broke my tibia, fibula and the break spiraled down into my ankle. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance and had four hours of surgery. I needed a metal rod, plate and screws. I am having a slow and difficult time trying to walk and recover since then." Linda C., Syosset, NY.

"I wore Skechers Shape-ups for one to two years. I was fine until I started having hip and leg pain that was so bad I could hardly get out of my van. I went to the doctor and the first thing she said was to stop wearing my shoes." Laura P., South Milwaukee, WI.

"I purchased the Skechers Shape-ups for daily walking in hopes of toning up. I have since suffered from severe knee pain that prevents me from even getting a good night’s sleep, it hurts so bad. I went to my doctor and she told me to stop wearing the toning shoes." Carolyn A., Houston, TX.

"I wore the slip resistant Skechers Shape-ups for 9 months for 50 hours per week. So did a few of my employees. We all ordered them together. Most of us have since suffered injuries from the shape up shoes we wore to work. I have sprained my ankles four or more times, suffered a bone fracture and my rheumatoid arthritis is worse." Amanda M., Atalla, AL.

"I purchased my Skechers Shape-ups in the spring of 2010. After watching the CD that came with the shoes, I began a program of walking in them vigorously for 30 minutes each day. After about 6-8 weeks, I developed severe pain in my lower back and down my right leg to just above the ankle. Three months after spinal surgery, I still have residual pain." Dennis V., Los Alamitos, CA.

"I’ve been using the same workout system since 2000 and have never had a problem. I purchased the Skechers Shape-up shoes and after about 1-2 months of use, I began having extreme hip pain. Sometimes I could not even stand without assistance. My doctor took several x-rays and found my hips were 3 degrees out of line with each other and my spine was shoved inward and tilted to the side 5 degrees." Tammy F.

"For 2 years I have maintained the same regular workout regimen. I purchased the Reebok SimpleTone athletic shoes and after two weeks of wearing them to workout, I sustained damage to my SI (pelvic) joint. It has now been three months and the pain is still tremendous." Allison N., Hanford, CA.
