The only thing more ridiculous than training on a bosu ball, is having them attached to the bottom of your shoes.  The last thing you need, or want, is a rounded and unstable surface attached to the bottom of your foot.  The ad claims the shoes work your legs and glutes 11-28% more than regular shoes while walking.  Walking isn’t going to “tone” your legs, so an 11-28% increase of nothing, is nothing.  Aside from it’s ineffectivness as a leg “workout”, shoes should mimic as closely as possible to walking in bare feet, a round and unstable surface on the bottom of your shoe can have detrimental effects on your gait and foot-strike.  Flat or flabby butt?  Get in the gym, do some squats.  Problem solved.
