They are just really recognizable. People know why you are wearing them. I really don't think there is a point for laughing, you're wearing them to be healthier.
First of all they are probobly not the brightest people to be laughing at you just for your shoes, but it is because, as everyone had said, they're not so hot. But they are good excersise shoes if you are looking to get the most out of your workout. As far as actually wearing them out, or even to get some height, I would probobly leave them in the lockerroom and put on some heels. But if you go for the active look, then go ahead and wear them. I doubt a lot of people will really laugh at you. And if they do, just think about the toned bod you'll get and they won't. lol
Stylistically speaking, they're probably not the best shoe. Maybe wear them for when you go on a walk, but for socializing, choose a different shoe. Lots of shoes give height.
Then again, if you really like them, wear them. Who cares if they laugh?
they arnt thee most attractive shoes in the world but its what YOU want to wear, if it helps you then thats whats for you. ignore the people laughing at your shoes.
