Good news for everyone who filed a valid Claim Form for the New Balance toning shoe class action settlement: settlement payments were mailed yesterday, according to an update on the Settlement Administrator website.
The payments were mailed August 21, 2013, to eligible Class Members who purchased New Balance toning shoes between January 1, 2010 and August 29, 2012. The checks will arrive in five to seven business days.
The payments mark the end to a 2011 class action lawsuit (Carey v. New Balance Athletic Shoe Company Inc.) accusing New Balance of falsely advertising the health benefits of its TrueBalance toning shoes. Plaintiffs alleged that not only did the shoes fail to burn more calories or activate more muscles as advertised, but that they could actually lead to injury.
New Balance denied the allegations but agreed to refund consumers through a $2.3 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the litigation. Consumers who purchased New Balance Rock&Tone, TrueBalance, Aravon Ria, Aravon Riley and Aravon Quinn shoes during the Class Period had until February 25, 2013 to file a Claim Form. The amount of money Class Members will receive will be based on how many people filed valid claims.
Top Class Actions has been following the New Balance toning shoe class action lawsuit since it was filed in January 2011. Congratulations to our Top Class Actions readers who filed a successful claim! We would love to hear how much your settlement check was in the comments section below.

106 thoughts onNew Balance Toning Shoe Settlement Checks in the Mail!
Received confirmation email this weekend. I will receive my check at my newest mailing address in 2 weeks.
On 9/3, I called the (866) 893-0232 as I did not receive a check and I waited the allotted time. The representative advised that they don’t forward checks to new addresses as the previous representative told me. I was told to request a re-issue of the check. They would not allow a request over the phone as they wanted something in writing (email or by postal mail). I emailed my request for re-issue to newbalancesettlement@gcginc.com on 9/3. I didn’t receive any response. I sent a followup email on 9/4. Still no response. I called today 9/5 to see if they received my request. They advised may take 2-4 weeks to show in their system. They said I should have received an automated confirmation email back within 48 hours of sending my email(s). I haven’t received any confirmation email back. We verified I had the correct email address for them. Just playing the waiting game still.
Received $43.65 on 8/27/13
See post# 83. Still waiting on check. I called (866) 893-0232. It was sent out August 21 to my old address (moved to different place; same town) but should be forwarded. Have to wait 5-7 business days in order to request re-issue. If don’t receive by Tuesday after Labor Day, going to call to have it re-issued.
