Skecher Shape Ups and Toning Shoes
Skecher Shape-Ups and other toning shoes allegedly have been implicated in causing serious injuries. The American Council on Exercise commissioned a study by the University of Wisconsin to determine if toning shoes like the Skecher Shape-Ups are effective and safe. The study concluded that the shoes do not provide the benefits advertised. Additionally, some physicians question their safety because of the way they de-stabilize the foot and alter gait. One consumer has complained of a broken ankle after falling while wearing toning shoes, and another complained of a broken hip socket after wearing toning shoes for several days in a row. There is a real risk that toning shoes can cause injuries in some people, and they may cause falls in which additional injury can occur.
"There's major risks, especially for adults," said David M. Davidson, national president of the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine. He said he has treated patients who developed Achilles tendinitis and stress fractures that he suspects were caused by wearing toning shoes. "Creating instability, on adults especially, is not a good thing."
If you have been injured because of wearing toning shoes like Skecher Shape-Ups you have legal rights and you need to contact an attorney immediately. Our firm has experience handling claims for defective products. We will speak with you about your potential toning shoe claim at no charge.
