 worth the moneySep 03, 2009
By califguy209
I was at the mall the other day and had tried another brand of this type of shoe on. It felt great and I was very interested in them. However they were 290.00 dollars, so I pasted on purchasing them. I then saw the skechers on- line and for only 90.00 dollars it was worth the risk. I have to say I really like them; a lot. Since purchasing them I have lost five pounds, without dieting. I only wear them to work and I am on my feet walking and standing 90% of the time. The difference in my posture is amazing. just in the way I now stand as well as in the way I walk. I was a little sore the first couple of days,mostly in my lower/middle back mussles. This has since gone away. this is a great shoe that forces you to focus on your posture as well as your balance well standing. Love the shoe and a great price. I may even go back and get the more expensive pair just because they seem to be softer when you step and I think they would work the mussle more.

 Seems to workJan 31, 2010
By Ray T
Walking is my primary exercise....about twice a week in the winter and 5-6 times a week when I'm getting ready for a trip. My walks are usually 3-5 miles. Prior to these shoes, I was wearing another brand of "regular" flat walking shoes at roughly the same price. I only wear these shoes when I walk, not to work etc. To date, I've worn Skechers on about 10 walks. I was skeptical of the claim it worked all of the leg and some lower back muscles, but thought the idea of "rolling" forward would help the calf. After my first couple of walks, I noticed my legs got a much better work out than they ever did in flat shoes and my lower back hurt a bit. After the third walk or so, my lower back stopped hurting and my legs still fell pretty tired...so I'd say the shoes help produce a good workout. For me, the shoes are very comfortable. It is like walking in sand and they felt good right away. Things like "balance" etc. never seemed like a problem. One thing I had to "learn" was not coming down so hard on my heel (this meant, for me, taking a natural step and not "trying" to rock into the step.) The reason the shoes get four stars and not five is because the heel is not snug (side to side) and if there is a bit of tilt on the street or path, it seems that my heel slides in the shoe. I believe I read that they don't make the shoes very tight so that you have to use your muscles more... Whether or not that is case, I have noticed that I am even pretty used to a little bit of heel slip at this point. To work different muscles, I use the Skechers on two walks and then my flat walking shoes on one. Works for me. As of now, I would buy another pain of Skechers when this pair wears out.

Hubby LOVES these!Jan 12, 2010
By Leslie

I got a pair of a different brand very much like the Shape-ups at Christmas. Everyone complimented me on my "neat looking" shoes and I think maybe my DH got a little jealous. Hee hee! But I kept telling him and everyone else, I don't care what they looked like, they were like walking on clouds! I loved my shoes and recommended them to everyone. However, my husband couldn't take me up on my recommendation because the brand I bought only carried women's shoes/sizes. The Skechers so far is the only shoes that carry the men's styles and sizes without breaking the bank. Granted, they are a little pricey, but I think they have been well worth it because my husband is absolutely in love with the pair he just received (he got the white and navy ones). The extra height is an added bonus as well. They make him about 2 inches taller and he's totally digging that. Ha! He will be attending a conference later this month where he has to walk around most of the day, so that will be well worth the price if it can save his feet and back. So far he has no complaints and has walked around quite a lot to get used to them (can you say Sam's Club and Wal-mart browsing!) and says he actually feels invigorated after walking in them and his posture is better!. That is a thumbs-up in my book!

Super comfortable!Dec 28, 2009
By Scott
I wanted to try these to get some more exercise while I walk as I've gotten a bit lazy. The minute I put them on I instantly said to myself WOW these feel like pillows, they are so soft and comfortable. Walking takes just a little to get used to because the back of the shoe is rounded but you quickly adjust to them. You will feel your posture is better and feel less pressure on your back. I suffer from a bad back and I do feel a difference with these. I first thought they were just another gimmick but they do help. The sole is a bit thick but the style of these sneakers help disguise the extra thick sole.
pros:
helps posture
relieves back pain
SUPER comfortable
strengthens legs
cons:
thick sole
takes a little to get used to when walking

I Love this shoeJun 09, 2010
By Dave the Mailman
I'm a Mailman. I walk about 6 miles a day. When I get home at the end of the day, my feet just want to die! Well, not any more! Sketchers Shape-Ups are marketed as leg and butt toning shoes. They do indeed work muscles that I forgot I had, but the most amazing thing is my feet don't hurt anymore. I've tried every kind of insole, arch support, gel, etc., and nothing has ever helped. Until now! THANK YOU SKETCHERS!!!
