I found some more information regarding the "toners" on the skechers website.

"Designed to help women experience the power of kinetic toning all day, everywhere they go. Shape-ups Toners may help burn more calories, improve agility, strengthen calf and thigh muscles, firm your buttocks and increase general fitness, without an additional time commitment."  Learn more about the Skechers Toners at http://www.skechers.com/info/fitness-toners.

If you use these fitness shoes, it is important to note that I found the following warning at the bottom of their sites page.  "Tone-ups Fitness are designed for walking. Because of the instability created by the Kinetic Toning Pods, Tone-ups Fitness should not be used for high-impact activities.  Walking regularly in Tone-ups Fitness may help you achieve the fitness benefits indicated. Individual results may vary. "
