Skechers Injuries Lawsuits
Numerous people have reported suffering serious injuries as a result of wearing Skechers Shape-ups “toning shoes”. With a thick rounded sole, the shoes simulate walking on a soft, uneven surface. Toning shoe manufacturers claim that by wearing the shoes, consumers will experience improved posture, better circulation, reduced cellulite, and a host of other benefits – all without ever stepping foot in the gym. The theory behind the shoes is that by creating instability, muscles have to work harder to create balance. Although research has indicated that the brief moments of instability in the feet cause muscles to work harder, it has not been proven that toning shoes are any more beneficial than any other fitness shoe.
Skechers Injury Types
The United States Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) has reported receiving dozens of reports of toning shoe injuries from consumers, including serious broken leg injuries that have required surgical immobilization or hospitalization. Some people who wear the shoes for extended periods of time while at work, such as waitresses or nurses have reported overuse injuries like achilles tendinitis and stress fractures. Other reported injuries have been fall-related, such as head injuries, back injuries, lacerations, bruises, and broken ribs.
