During a weekend visit to my local Macy’s, I spotted a new style of Skechers Shape-Ups.  The shoes claim to tone your muscles and promote healthy weight loss, and based on all the success stories Hot Mama Daily readers have shared regarding the fitness shoes, I had to let you know about the latest color and style.
This “Women’s Work” style ($100 at Macy’s; $115 on Skechers.com) in black reminds me of old-school Reebok sneakers and is more ideal for the cold weather than the “Sleek Fit” Mary Jane style I tested over the summer.

From Earth Footwear to Skechers’ Shape-Ups to FitFlop Footwear, I’m all about comfort shoes with a fitness benefit.  So I was stoked when my friend hipped me to FitFlop boots.

So in my search for a more fashionable, bum-toning fitness shoe I came across FitFlops.  Before I part with $40, however,  I want to know if they really:

The sneakers sort of look like club kid orthopedic shoes and are available in limited supply on  Skechers‘ website and are currently on sale at JC Penney for $99.
