SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - A proposed settlement in a class action lawsuit could result in a partial refund to Sketchers customers.

If you purchased Skechers’ Shape-ups, Resistance Runner, Shape-ups Toners/Trainers, or Tone-ups since August 1, 2008, a proposed settlement may affect you.

The class action lawsuit claimed Skechers violated consumer protection laws with the marketing of their shoes with unfounded claims.

The lines of shoes claimed they would help tone the body on their own. The FTC said, the unfounded claims were the shoes "would help people lose weight, and strengthen and tone their buttocks, legs and abdominal muscles."

The campaigns involved a number of celebrities talking about how well Shape-Ups work including Kim Kardashian, Brooke Burke, Joe Montana, and Utah Jazz legend Karl Malone.

If you purchased shoes that and might be affected, you should go to skecherssettlement.com to learn how you can be included in the class action lawsuit.

I brought my Skechers last Sept. from Macys in Richmond,Va. I was told by a friend that they worked so good for her and she bought another pair. I bought a pair played the instuctional CD that came with the shoes and I tried for about 6mos. to try and break those shoes in and i can't tell you how many times i went to the Dr. about my lower back and my legs everytime I tried to wear those shoes I had pain in neck, lower back and leg. I didn't have a clue what was going on until my Son informed me that people were actually sueing the company because the shoe was causing damage and i stopped trying to break them in. Now I know why???? Still got them just sitting in my closet I want a refund too!!!
