SKECHERS Shape Ups - Optimize SKU: #7548514

I LOVE these shoes. I was walking in them for over 5 hrs. the first time I wore them, and my feet and legs felt WONDERFUL!!!!!! I am trying to get my sister to invest in a pair. I am also extremely impressed with Zappos. The ordering process is very easy and the delivery is lightening fast. I will definitely order from Zappos again.

AMAZING SERVICE!!! I love my shoes, but the service you receive is unreal. The first pair I ordered arrived within 3 days and fit a little tight so I called and asked for 1/2 size larger. I had another pair of shoes sitting on my door step in 24 hours! The shoes fit great and are sooo comfortable! Not sure about getting a work out on legs and butt, but will continue to wear them for comfort. I have mild cerebral palsy and the shape ups really help with posture and stride. Love them! You rock Zappos!!!

I broke my ankle and was in two different casts for a total of 11 weeks. I purchased these on the advice from another individual in my situation. I started physical therapy and walking on week 12 and these were awesome. I walked an average of 15-20 miles per week outside. They helped stretch my calves and get them back in shape.

I love these Shape Ups by Skechers. I work six days a week most of the time. I also work third shift. I'm on my feet all night. When the weather's nice I also like to walk home. These Skechers are so comfortable. I love them. I'm 53 years old and I haven't had a pair of shoes I love so much since I was a kid. I also bought the work Shape Up Skechers and I get compliments all the time at work. Zappos is the best. You receive your orders in record time. Thank you Zappos. One more thing, they run true to size.

This was my first experience with Zappos and I thought their customer service was beyond excellent. I had the shoes in my hand the very next day and when I found they didn't fit, I had the next pair delivered the next day. Amazing! Now, the shoes: I like the added cushion I get from these shoes since I stand on concrete. Walking in them takes a little adjusting. They certainly make you a good 2 inches taller! I wish the foot bed had a little more cushion though. My feet get a little sore from just standing in them. It seems you're standing right on the arch most of the time and find it a bit uncomfortable after awhile. I do find myself wanting to add a shoe insert but don't really have the room.

These shoes are very comfortable to walk in and tone muscles at the same time. I wear them most everyday to work and I feel like I’m just rolling right through my day. I had no trouble adjusting to the arc of the heel.

I bought these shoes two weeks before going on a two-week walking tour of Italy. I also was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis right after my purchase. These shoes were the only shoes that made my feet happy because you don’t have the normal constant pressure on your heel. The construction gives you a "rolling" effect. It was interesting to stand still and take pictures, I kept doing the rolling backwards thing until I was more used to them. There was no "break-in" period. They were comfortable right out of the box. I was able to tour Italy with little discomfort. It also gives your legs a workout and improves your posture. I now wear them everywhere including the gym. This shoe was the best purchase I’ve made. I now have two pairs and am looking for a third to switch up the colors.

LOVE THESE SHOES! Hate the look, but boy oh boy do they do the job! My podiatrist and my orthopedist suggested I either get these or the MBTs. They said to start here and see how I fare. Well, after 3 re-construction surgeries on my ankle, followed by a torn Achilles tendon, NOTHING was allowing me to move out of the cast/walking boot. After a few days of getting used to these shoes, this is the best I have felt in years! Decreased pain, decreased swelling, and yes, decreased back pain YEAH. After reading reviews, I ordered a half size up and it did the job.

I bought these for my daughter who is on her feet all day long working in a bakery. She loves them, feels that they are improving her posture, and she can wear them all day without fatigue. As for me, the first I ordered was too small. When I reordered, the new pair was on my doorstep the next day! Extraordinary!

I have ordered from Zappos 3 times, and have been very happy not only w/ the merchandise, but the speed at which my things arrived! I love my Shape-Ups! I have "problem" feet. As an RN often working 12 hour shifts, I am on my feet a lot. I can wear these all day. I tell people I feel like I'm walking on marshmallows. Excellent arch support, which I need for my flat feet. I am an exerciser, so didn't notice a difference in my legs or butt, but co-workers who have them tell me they do feel their hamstrings and butts feel firmer. I wore them at home a couple days initially for 2 or 3 hours. They take a little getting used to, not long though-maybe an hour. I ordered them on a Wed. evening, and they were at my door the next night. Thank you!!

Great shoe. It is easy to walk in them and very comfortable. Good arch support.

I don’t know if the benefits are true, but these are comfortable. They rub a little on the bone that protrudes at ankle; however, I’ve done some power walking and just wearing them around town, and it only bothers somewhat.

Can’t say enough good things about Zappos!! Shoes feel good except they seem to be a bit too high at the sides for me and dig into my ankles which is not comfortable.

These shoes are WONDERFUL. I have serious arthritis in my feet, ankles, and knees. I’ve worn two models of New Balance for years, with orthotics. It was time to buy new shoes, and a friend was raving about these shoes that she and her husband had each purchased. Then I saw them on TV. I wouldn’t have been enticed by the TV ad -- who knows whether ads are entirely true? But seeing the shoes and hearing my friends’ comments sold me. They arrived almost immediately, and I fell in love with them! Even without the orthotics, they feel wonderful. For the first time in years, the terrible knee pain is almost gone. They are great for standing. I can stand and cook again. A week later, I ordered the Skechers Sleek Fit ShapeUp shoes. They’re nice enough--but not the same wonderfulness as the Optimize. The Sleek Fits are sort of Mary Jane-ish, a bit more "dressy." I wear them some of the time, but I wear the Sleek Fits every single day!

I have had more people ask me about these shoes when I wear them. They are very comfortable and seem to make you want to walk more. They make you "bouncy" and cushion your step extremely well. As far as the arch support goes, I wear a prescription orthotic and when you take out the insole, it works very well.

I wear the Sketchers Shape-ups now while walking on my treadmill; however, they do take some getting used to. I read the insert material sent along with the Shape-ups and wore them around the house for a little bit each day to get my body used to them; they make your body stand in the proper manner and alignment. They feel great on and while walking, and they were true to my size because I wear heavy workout socks; with thin socks I would probably go 1/2 size down. They do seem to give me a better workout while walking, and the cushioning effect is well worth the cost. Besides, the free shipping is a great incentive.

Skechers Shape Ups are one of the best shoe purchases I have made in quite some time! I am an Assistant Manager of a distribution center and I am on my feet for 10+ hours per day on a cement floor. I started wearing the Shape Ups to work the minute I received them, and my feet are so happy. I experienced no discomfort and lost 2 lbs. in the first week of wear! I highly recommend these shoes for anyone who is on their feet a lot or for use while exercising. It feels like you are walking on a cloud! I will be adding another pair to my shoe collection! Thank you so much.

I’m only giving these shoes 3 stars because they’re absolutely ineffective at giving me a good workout. I walked 3 miles in them the first day, but did not feel like I was working out at all. I didn’t ache the next morning either. I sit a lot and I don’t exercise at all, so if anyone should feel the effect of these shoes, then I should. The Skechers brochure claimed that these shoes simulate "walking on sand". I’ve walked on sand plenty of times, and these don’t feel at all like walking on sand. I would’ve given only 1 star, but they are very comfortable because of the extra cushion. I did get blisters on my heels because I wore short socks. Next time, I’ll wear these shoes with longer socks. I also like getting extra height boost when wearing them. Buy these if you’re looking for comfort and height boost, especially if you stand and walk a lot because they’re comfortable. I’m only keeping mine because of the comfort and height boost.
