Attorneys General from 44 states and the Federal Trade Commission have reached a settlement with Skecher USA, Inc.
Skecher conducted a national advertising campaign making numerous claims about its round bottom shoes saying "they provide many health benefits" but did not support the claims.
According to the lawsuit, the company advertised their toning shoes would promote weight loss, improve a user's blood circulation and reduce user's stress on joints along with a few other health-related claims.
Focusing market advertising on women, they promised weight loss results that were misleading to the consumers.
The states declare that there is no transformation between Skecher shoes and regular tennis shoes when focusing on any of the health improvements.
Under the settlement Sketcher is prohibited to make these claims without evidence.
In addition, up to $40 million is being allocated to return to consumers who purchased the shoes, Skecher is to pay an additional $5 million to the states. Pennsylvania is to receive more than $143 thousand.
Consumers who purchased the Shape-Ups, Tone-Ups or the Skecher Runner should go to the FTC website at www.ftc.gov/sketchers
Any consumer who has complaints with their health or advertising claims regarding the shoes is to contact Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection by calling 800-441-2555 or by visiting www.attorneygeneral.gov.

This weekend is one that water sport enthusiasts wait for all year, when thousands of gallons of water are released from the Quemahoning Dam into the Stoneycreek River.
With the mild winter this year and minimal amounts of rain, water sport enthusiasts said it would be rough to kayak down the Stoneycreek River throughout the summer.
"It gets really really scrappy and you can't take rafts down [the river] without more volume to get them down through rapids, obviously because they get pinned on rocks and such," said Benscreek Canoe Club Vice President Michael Cook. "Without the releases, this place would be a kayaking waste land in the middle of the summer."
The Benscreek Canoe Club said it plans to have more water releases this year than before. It hopes to have them every other weekend.
"It extends our kayaking, slash rafting season well into the summer," said Cook. "Before we'd have to go to Ohiopyle about a month from now in order to have water to kayak on."
During the water releases, a rather calm Stoneycreek River becomes a canyon full of rapids. Cook said their hope is that enthusiasts from all over will start coming to the area.
"There's a great resource here between the white water and park and releases from the Quemahoning Dam," said Cook. "It's going to be a blast if we can make this place a white water destination."
The first release will take place this weekend during the clubs' annual White Water Rendezvous at Greenhouse Park in Johnstown.
"We've got bands, food vendors and gear vendors," said Cook. "It's going on all weekend."
For those wishing to take part in water activies, Cook said it's probably best to have some experience.
"You should probably be a solid class 3 boater before you come and attempt this," said Cook. "With the water releases there are some class three rapids up there that you want to know how to get down through. "
But for those less experienced, local outfitters will on hand to give guided tours down the river.
Along with the Rendezvous, two other water releases are scheduled. The annual River Sojourn will be held the weekend of June 2. The Stonycreek River was named river of the year. That celebration is set for June 16. The releases depend on water levels at the Quemahoning Dam.
