Did you buy Skechers Shape-ups, Resistance Runner, Toners, or Tone-ups shoes?
You may be eligible for a refund.
The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, charged Skechers with making unfounded claims that its Shape-ups and other "toning shoes" would help people lose weight and tone their buttocks, legs, and abdominal muscles.
To settle the case, Skechers USA has agreed to pay $40 million to provide refunds to people who bought Skechers toning shoes.
More information is available on the FTC’s Skechers Hotline at 866-325-4186.
