Did you buy Skechers Shape-ups, Resistance Runner, Toners, or Tone-ups shoes?

You may be eligible for a refund.

The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, charged Skechers with making unfounded claims that its Shape-ups and other "toning shoes" would help people lose weight and tone their buttocks, legs, and abdominal muscles.

To settle the case, Skechers USA has agreed to pay $40 million to provide refunds to people who bought Skechers toning shoes.

More information is available on the FTC’s Skechers Hotline at 866-325-4186

If you purchased any of Skechers’ footwear called Shape-ups, Resistance Runner, Shape-ups Toners/Trainers, and Tone-ups since August 1, 2008, a proposed settlement may affect your rights.
A settlement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit, captioned Grabowski v. Skechers U.S.A., Inc., No. 3:12-cv-00204 (W.D. Ky.). The lawsuit concerns claims that Skechers violated certain state laws and consumer protection statutes in connection with the marketing and sale of their toning shoes.
You may be a class member if you purchased eligible Skechers toning shoes since August 1, 2008, with limited exclusions. The Court has not yet ruled on whether the settlement should be preliminarily approved. The Court may not grant preliminary approval or may require certain changes to the proposed settlement. This website will be updated once the Court rules on the parties’ request for preliminary approval of the settlement.

If the Court grants preliminary approval of the proposed settlement, you will have rights which you may wish to exercise, including rights to opt-out of the settlement or object. Please check this website frequently for updates.

2. As further specified in the Settlement Claim Procedures and Claim
Calculation Protocol, the Claim Form shall advise Class Members that, upon request
and under certain enumerated circumstances, the Class Action Settlement
Administrator has the right to request verification of the purchase of Eligible Shoes,
including, but not limited to, receipt(s) or other documentation demonstrating purchase
of any and all of the Eligible Shoes during the Class Period. If the Class Member does
not timely comply and/or is unable to produce documents to substantiate and/or verify
the information on the Claim Form and the Claim is otherwise not approved, the Claim
shall be disqualified.

I should think that as long as you still have the shoes, that should be proof enough of purchase.
