    The product, in the report: Toning Shoes for Women

    I purchased Curves® for Women Toning Trainer and the first time I wore them I was walking to my car, and fell due to the shoe not giving accurate judgment on a 1/2 “ difference between the sidewalk and my driveway. My ankle was in excruciating pain, and I could not bear weight on it. X-ray did not show a break, so I followed up with an Orthopedic doctor who determined extensive soft tissue (ligaments and tendon) damage. I was in a fracture boot for 5 months because I could not afford the surgery. That ankle is still quite weak, and I had a subsequent fall that further damaged it. I still walk with a cane.
