Top Class Actions viewers are starting to receive checks in the mail from a class action settlement that accused Earth Inc. of falsely labeling its Exer-Walk shoes as having specific health benefits that it couldn’t deliver on.

According to comments and posts on the Top Class Actions Facebook page, Class Members who submitted timely and valid claims for the Exer-Walk class action settlement began receiving checks worth as much as $5.33 on Sept. 28, 2016.

The Exer-Walk class action settlement resolves allegations that Earth labeled the shoes as having the ability to “improve posture,” “reduce joint stress, “strengthen core muscles” and maximize calorie burn” in consumers who wore them.

While Earth denied the claims against them, they agreed to settle in order to avoid the cost and risk of ongoing litigation.

Class Members included all individuals who bought Earth’s Exer-Walk shoes between Jan. 1, 2009 and Oct. 4, 2015.

The deadline to file a claim for the Earth Exer-Walk settlement passed on May 19, 2016.
