Not what I expected - The comfort of these seemed fine. I am basing my opinion on the padded arches inside that cushion the foot and make it feel supported and secure when the feet are in the shoes, however: the foot slides inward when walking because the criss-cross velcro strap is not secure enough to hold the foot in properly. Also, even though they are velcro, it seems impossible to make them tighter and the foot still wobbles from side to side. Visually they are hideous; not quite Mary Jane style not quite sneakers, all 'Bride of Frankenstein'. I returned these and ordered the regular 'sneaker' looking Shape Ups in the hopes that since they lace up they will provide the support these shoes lack.

These shoes are very similar to the original MBTs, only BETTER! I had the MBTs and I will never purchase them again when I know I can get these Skecher Shape-Ups so much cheaper! They are super comfortable, the very same sole only they are not as slippery when wet, and they don’t track in as much sand as the MBTs would. I just can’t say enough positive remarks about these other than I love them. I will most definitely purchase another pair of these Shape-Ups, they are fantastic! Sizing excellent, same size I always wear 9 1/2.

These are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever owned. I had to get two pairs. I will never leave home with out them on!

This is the second pair of Shape Ups I have purchased, and I am pleased to find that these fit as comfortably as the ones with laces. I found them to be true to size. I am equally impressed with how quickly Zappos processed my order. I purchased them on Monday morning, and they were delivered early afternoon on Tuesday!

Love these shoes! I find them very comfortable and attractive enough to wear to the office, unlike tennis shoes that would never be allowed.
