(More customer reviews)Walking is my primary exercise....about twice a week in the winter and 5-6 times a week when I'm getting ready for a trip.My walks are usually 3-5 miles.Prior to these shoes, I was wearing another brand of "regular" flat walking shoes at roughly the same price.I only wear these shoes when I walk, not to work etc.To date, I've worn Skechers on about 10 walks.I was skeptical of the claim it worked all of the leg and some lower back muscles, but thought the idea of "rolling" forward would help the calf.After my first couple of walks, I noticed my legs got a much better work out than they ever did in flat shoes and my lower back hurt a bit.After the third walk or so, my lower back stopped hurting and my legs still fell pretty tired...so I'd say the shoes help produce a good workout.For me, the shoes are very comfortable.It is like walking in sand and they felt good right away.Things like "balance" etc. never seemed like a problem.One thing I had to "learn" was not coming down so hard on my heel (this meant, for me, taking a natural step and not "trying" to rock into the step.)The reason the shoes get four stars and not five is because the heel is not snug (side to side) and if there is a bit of tilt on the street or path, it seems that my heel slides in the shoe.I believe I read that they don't make the shoes very tight so that you have to use your muscles more...Whether or not that is case, I have noticed that I am even pretty used to a little bit of heel slip at this point.To work different muscles, I use the Skechers on two walks and then my flat walking shoes on one.Works for me.As of now, I would buy another pain of Skechers when this pair wears out.
