In the last two years, the shoe industry has exploded with toning shoes, a new type of athletic footwear. A May 2010 survey by SportsOneSource found six of the top 10 athletic shoes on the market were toning shoes. Dozens of footwear manufacturers are offering the opportunity to turn walking into a workout with toning shoes, toning sandals, and toning boots. The fitness shoes purport to be effective in building muscle tone by making customers work harder to keep their balance while wearing the shoes. While some consumers call the shoes gimmicks and others believe them to be effective, concerns about the safety of toning shoes, toning sandals and toning boots are growing. More and more consumers are reporting serious injuries from falls and stress fractures and chronic tendonitis from long-term wear of toning footwear products, which include:
