Tone-Ups Trainer Glide

The Skechers Tone-Ups Trainer, Glide athletic shoes are one of the best shoes to tone up and absorb the shock associated with jogging and running. I have tried Nike and Reebok in the past and after my daily jog my knees and feet were very achy and in pain, even though I spent over $100 on each pair of jogging shoes. The Skecher Tone-Ups, Glide shoes go for about $65 and they absorb more shock than the other brands. Therefore, Skechers Glide is a better choice for avid joggers or runners such as myself, although the I don't mind wearing my Tantric Seal Beach sandals on a warm summer day to run daily errands.

There are four colors to choose from; gray/navy, olive/gray, gray/black and charcoal/lime. I decided to purchase the charcoal and lime because I do most of my jogging on hiking trails so when they get dusty or dirty I don’t have to clean them as often. Plus, in my opinion, this is the best color combination. Another great feature of these athletic shoes offer is that each shoe weighs about 14 ounces each, so there is no extra weight to lug around when you are jogging. The all-around padding and the soft shoe lining makes these shoes extra-comfortable to the point that I find myself wearing them even when I am not jogging.

The negative features about the Skechers Tone-Ups Trainer, Glide are the shoe laces loops and the light gray material stitched over the dark charcoal mesh. What I didn’t like about the shoe lace loops is that because they are stitched on and were not very sturdy and ended up breaking while I was tying my shoe. Had lace loops been holes that were punched into the shoes it would have extended the life of the my athletic shoes. The light gray color material was not my favorite, I would have preferred it if the shoes were made in dark charcoal and lime colors only. In my opinion if the light gray material was eliminated it would make a better-looking shoe.

Over my lifetime I have gone through hundreds of jogging shoes of every make and brand and although some of them have been more aesthetically appealing to the eye, they are not always the best choice because of the comfort level. In the past before I purchased my first pair of Skechers athletic shoes I used to settle for the shoes that were better looking but now that I know that Skechers allows me to jog without being in pain or aching after, I am never going back to the other brands. Give them a try and once you go Skechers you will never go back! The Tone-Ups Trainer, Glide can be purchased from Skechers' website directly, sporting goods stores, shoe stores and authorized dealers.
