I love these shoes! They are so comfortable. I wore them for the first time to Sea World all day leaving my regular shoes in the car, just in cas… They were not only comfortable, but my muscles were sore the next day--in a good way! I think they really work. They’re so cushy, I want to leave them on when I get home to walk around the house in! I highly recommend them. I’m going to purchase a black pair for work, too!

I am a pharmacist and on my feet at least 8 hours a day. These shoes are very comfortable and do exercise your legs and buttocks, you can feel it. Work out while you work, but I think they would great to wear running errands or walking the mall shopping even grocery shopping...mini work outs.

I was a little scared by the looks of this shoes but, when worn, it looks surprisingly good. Something worthy of an anime character, maybe. Looks good with skinny jeans. They do feel a tad bigger than marked so that if you are walking real fast they tend to slip out in the back but not so for normal walking. I had read that you should not drive with them on and have not tried that as I normally drive barefoot anyway but had also read to not wear on wet surfaces and I have used them on rainy and snowy days with no problems. Initially they are strange to wear but you will get used to them after a few times. I find that standing on them is more difficult than walking. Do they do everything that they claim to do? I'm not sure as I was in good shape before getting the shoes but I can tell that they are very gentle on my bad knee, and they do feel like you are walking on clouds. I am, sometimes, 8 hours on my feet, and these are perfect shoes for that.

Based on the others’ review, I first ordered the half size bigger. Because my feet are a bit wider and Skechers only has standard width, the half size bigger did not work for me. I ended up getting the one which was a full size bigger. I have a problem in the ball of my left foot. These shoes reduce pressure there and my foot is recovering quicker than before having them. Regarding Zappos, they have a great service you do not find anywhere else and you don’t have to pay additional while you are searching for the right size. I have been recommending Zappos to all of my friends!

These shoes are adorable but take some getting used to. My shins/calves were burning after 10 minutes on the treadmill. Definitely order a 1/2 size larger than your regular size.

I’ve had these shoes for 1 week, and I can honestly say that I am impressed. It took a day or 2 to get used to them, but now I love wearing them and I will be buying another pair - probably the mary janes. I am 38 yrs old, 5 feet tall, and weigh around 100 lbs. Looking at me, most people would say I am in good shape. I thought I was in good shape, but these shoes have already improved my 38 year old butt and the backs of my thighs. I am very happy that there is some truth to the advertising. I debated between the Shape Ups and MBTs, but decided to go with the Sketchers. I’m glad I did.

I did not have to buy a size bigger but I have a narrow foot. I really like this shoe. I have lots of foot issues and I can go on my two mile walk without pain. Good thing!

Amazing Shoe -
I bought these shoes in October 2009 & I must say these are the best shoes in the world. My back no longer hurts and my posture is awesome, my stomach is flat and my legs and butt are firm. You can wear these shoes all day and your feet will not bother. These shoes are amazing.

I have Fibromyalgia with severe leg and feet pain so I was skeptical about these shoes but I thought I would give them a try because the sole looked very comfortable which is important for my legs and feet. I wore them around the house at first and thought they were very comfortable but did not feel any stretching or muscle pain. Well a couple of days later I wore them to the local Mart store to shop and buy groceries. By the time I walked from the parking lot to the store I could really begin to feel them begin to work and after 2-3 hours of shopping I really felt the burn. When I woke up the next morning I could hardly walk because of the stiffness and soreness from the workout with the shoes the day before. I love these and I'm back for a second pair. If you have Fibromyalgia, check with your Dr. before using these but these gave my legs the best workout in months. I did have to skip a day after the first but 2 days later I am back walking in them again and can feel the difference again.

I have always had a lot of back problems especially from standing and walking. Since I got my shoes the pain has went away so now I want a pair for outside as well as the pair I have been wearing indoors. They are really great.

I bought these on a Friday and they were here by Tuesday. Very fast shipping, usually with free shipping it\'s snail mail but not in this case. The shoes, however, I am not raving about. They are very heavy compared to a regular tennis shoe and I have noticed very minimal changes in my legs, thighs and butt. They are comfortable to walk in so for someone in the health or retail profession who are on their feet all day, I would highly suggest these. You can wear for hours and hours and your feet don\'t hurt.

I love these shoes but am disappointed that they do feel a bit small. I would return them and go a half-size up, except they don't carry size 10.5. I'm going to keep them and hope they stretch a little!

These shoes have restored my faith in shoes. I didn't think anything could be so comfortable. I've always walked barefoot around my home but now I put these shoes on because they feel so good. I am quite a bit overweight but would not hesitate to recommend these shoes (I tried other Sketchers Shape-Ups but these are definitely the best). My Mom and Dad wear MBTs which look like orthopedic shoes but these are cute (in natural). I'm 5'2" but petite pants are too short. With this shoes, regular length jeans are perfect. Enjoy! I usually order an 8 but in these shoes a 9 was most comfortable with socks and a 8 1/2 without.

Walking in these shoes is simply like walking with thick, dense pillows under your feet (minus the clumsiness that would ensue from that in reality). They are not so soft as to lack support, they just cushion every step so much that they relieve both the hip and back pain I have resulting from prior injuries to both areas. They extend by about 2 hours the time that I can, for example, do the slow walking involved with shopping, which I find to be much more painful that the faster walking associated with exercise. The "rolling" motion of walking in these shoes can help you walk faster, but do take time to become comfortable with the movement; both the height and texture of the sole can affect balance until you are accustomed to wearing them. I was comfortable in the size that I usually order in Skechers, which is a half to full size larger (not wider) than I wear in typical dress shoes.

Love 'em! I ordered one size larger than what I usually wear and they fit correctly. I wear them when I am shopping or just walking. Also, having two knees with arthritis, I discovered when my knees hurt, wearing my Shape-Ups makes my aches practically disappear. Super! I am considering buying another pair.

These are now my favorite walking shoes. They are comfortable, and they make me look taller and slimmer. They say when you wear high heels you look taller and thinner? I'm not sure yet if they actually help to make you more tone, but I haven't noticed yet.I have no complaints so far.

My shoes arrived in perfect condition. I could not have been happier with the purchase. My review of Shape-Up shoes is that I purchased them as a gift for my mother for Christmas. She absolutely loves them. She wears them to walk on the treadmill and around the house. She says she's never had anything make her feet feel as good as they do in these shoes and plans on buying a pair of the sandals for summer. She hasn't had them long enough to see toning results, but says she's starting to feel a difference in her legs. My sister and I both want a pair after hearing her rave review. Thanks Zappos and Sketchers!

The shoes are awesome, this is my second pair. After you get used to wearing them, they really do align your posture differently which helps with walking. After 3 weeks of wearing them at least 4-5 times a week, I can tell a difference in my butt, and that's a good thing. But even more awesome than the shoes is Zappos' incredible service. Once again, ordered and they were there within a day. I've been ordering a pair of shoes a month from Zappos and I'll continue to do so. Great selection, perfect order, super fast shipping, what more can you ask for? Go Zappos!

I love these shoes! I hurt my heel and couldn't walk for over 2 1/2 months. I thought maybe these shoes would take the pressure off my heel so it could heal. And that is exactly what they did. The minute I put them on, I was able to walk without a pain in my heel. They are comfortable and I now have 3 pair. My heel is fine, but I still like wearing the shoes. If you work on a concrete floor, these would be perfect for you. They really cushion your feet. Don't know if they really shape-up your legs, etc like they say, but don't care. They solved my problems and I would recommend them highly! This was my first purchase through Zappos and they also are great to deal with.

I bought these shoes because I'm a nurse working 12 hour shifts with leg pain. I was hoping these would help increase my circulation & reduce the pain, but they did not. After trying them for a month, I had to go back to wearing my tennis shoes & compression socks. The sole seems to flatten out when I wear them, making it not so much of a work out to keep my posture up. The width is very narrow & made me have a very bad flare-up of gout. The toe-box is also very snug. Besides that, it's just an ugly looking shoe. Next time, I'll try the MTBs.

I just love these shoes! They are so cushiony and I am in my 60s, where a pair of shoes can throw off my walk and make my knees and back hurt. But not these. I find that I even park the farthest away from the stores, just so I can walk more. They are just so great. I live where I wear sandals year round, so I'm waiting to see if I choose to continue on into the summer with daily wear. They were a bit pricey, but also the style is unique. I get a lot of compliments on them and the design makes your foot look so much smaller. I just can't say enough about them.

So, I open the box and think, Holy crap, I got orthopedic shoes! Not the best first impression. They do not look cute in the box. I put them on and changed my attitude quickly. If your pants hit just right, you can't tell they are curved at all. The front looks like any regular running shoe. They are very cushy and definitely have made a difference in my legs. I have learned (the hard way) not to wear them 12 hours a day for 6 days straight. I was in pain at the end of the week. I'm a hairdresser and lots of clients that are nurses highly recommended these shoes. I am very happy with them and would recommend to anyone who is on their feet a lot. I am not a skinny girl and, although I haven't lost weight to prove anything in a commercial, I do feel a difference in how my pants fit. Good luck and enjoy.
