So, apparently Reebok’s Easytone shoes don’t make your ass look so amazingly awesome that it’s totally okay that you get sexually objectified?!? I mean, this makes me super sad. Shoes made exclusively to attract the male gaze? There’s nothing but good that can come of that, I say.
Except, according to the Federal Trade Commission, wasting $80 + on shoes that don’t do anything special except be a shoe.
If you are a victim of Reebok’s false advertising, and general bad taste in commercials, you can click here to fill out a form for a refund.
Skechers also faced similar forced refunds by the FTC due to false advertising, I believe it was somewhere in the range of 40 million dollars. In addition to that a lot of these companies are now facing lawsuits for injuries caused by falls- which is linked to the instability of the shoe base.
But considering the toning shoe industry was worth 10 billion at its peak, I cant imagine that theyre too upset over the losses. They still sell the shoes and make a pretty decent profit off of them
