Skechers - If you have bought Skecher shape ups, you may get a refund...
Skechers shape ups, company owes 45 million dollars, claims they work have been

If anyone has bought these shoes, there may be a way for you to get a refund, or so I read. I would contact the company about complaints. A settlement has been reached and skechers agrees that it has to pay back 45 million after the federal trade commission has said that these shoes have not proven to work, obviously. I have read several complaints about these shoes actually making peoples knees hurt and ankles. If anything, I smell more lawsuits. but regardless of that, Skechers is trying to dispute this claim and conduct more research. Apparently, they lied about clinical studies of the shoes as well. But to be fair, I think a lot of what kim kardashian has promoted has proven not to be what it says it is. Then again, I think its crazy for a shoe to say that someone can lose weight, strengthen muscles, tone buttocks by simply just walking in a shoe. To each their own. I used to think these shoes looked appealing...but thanks to My3cents and the reviews, I never bought them. Although I used to like their other shoes back in the 90s.....when they were build better.

I have decided a long time ago that these shoes were probably a bad idea, just based on the negative reviews I've read on here. But it's nice to know that the people who DID buy these shoes have a way to get their money back.

As noted by the FTC spokseperson, "the only thing that got a workout is their wallet."

I never liked the looks of those shoes, they looked goofy to me and the overly proportionate population that I observed wearing them reminded me of weeble wobbles, except some of them did fall down.

Same here, am glad i did not buy them. i wonder if the reebox shoes that are similar will get sued too? Those were just as tacky!
