Refund checks stemming from Reebok’s Settlement were sent out recently and because I was a member of this class action and because I filed a claim against Reebok in a timely manner, I got a check for $176.00 from Reebok.
Last October I wrote a blog entry telling people about the FTC action against Reebok and advised anyone who purchased a pair of Reebok’s EasyTone shoes to file their claim against Reebok before the filing deadline.
Class action suits filed by federal agencies like the FTC can curb companies from using false advertisements to sell their products. Reebok had to pay $25 million in refunds to approximately 315,000 buyers of EasyTone products because of their false advertising practices.
The FTC action against Reebok was taken because of Reebok’s false advertising practices. Reebok claimed that their shoes had the ability to tone and strengthen your leg muscles as you walked or ran in them. As a person who bought 2 pairs of Reebok’s EasyTone shoes I can tell you from my own personal experience that my leg muscles were neither stronger nor more toned because I wore my EasyTone exercise shoes.
Buyer beware-caveat emptor.

hi i also claim and not receive yet but i from poland hmm i wonder if i get , and how many pairs u purchased that u get 176 $ ?
I purchased two pairs of shoes and a pair of pants and did have not received a refund. My sister claimed and received hers a couple of weeks ago, however. I think I claimed close to the same time that she did. This makes me believe that for some reason, I won’t be getting one.
I bought three pairs of easytone shoes, I submitted the three for the refund. I only received two refunds and I don’t know where to ask for the third one.
If someone know where to ask about the refunds please post.
The number to call is 1-888–398-5389. I purchased one pair along with several tops, sports bras, and yoga pants. They lost my claim so i even had to refax it to them. I am just glad i made a copy. I purchased several of the Skechers as well, for myself and my daughter. I seem to be batting a thousand…
