San Francisco Skechers Shape-ups Product Liability Lawyers
Over the past few years, toning shoe sales have dominated the athletic footwear industry market. When looking at the basic theory of how toning shoes are supposed to work, it’s easy to see why so many consumers were quick to accept the claims made by manufacturers. Skechers Shape-ups feature a “rocker-bottom sole,” which creates an unstable walking surface. The makers of Skechers claim the unstable walking surface created by the shoe supposedly forces wearers to “To train muscles your trainer never knew you had.” To prove their claims of increased muscle tone and higher caloric burn are true, Skechers points to a study that upon further investigation, was actually sponsored by Skechers themselves and is not peer-reviewed. Are toning shoes more gimmick than actual science? According to independent studies conducted by the American Council on Exercise and Consumer Reports, toning shoes do not provide any additional benefits over regular sneakers and are in fact, the cause of an increasing number of fall-related injuries.

Statute of Limitations
The Skechers Shape-ups injury attorneys at Estey Bomberger know how overwhelming the legal process may seem to victims dealing with a serious injury. Some victims may be apprehensive about discussing their case, feeling embarrassed, ashamed or angry about how their injury occurred. We frequently receive calls from victims who realize too late the significance of their injuries and are no longer eligible to take legal action. Per California law, injured victims are allowed two years from the date of injury to take legal action against those responsible for an injury. Once the statute of limitations has expired, victims are not allowed to pursue any further legal action and cannot recover compensation for injury-related damages. If contacted immediately after an injury has occurred, our skilled team of attorneys can prevent victims from being denied the opportunity to take legal action.
