The FTC also challenged what it said was a deceptive endorsement by California chiropractor, Dr. Steven Gautreau. Ads for Shape-ups featured a glowing endorsement by Dr. Gautreau without disclosing that he’s married to a marketing executive at Skechers and that Skechers paid him to conduct the study.
