I love these shoes. I can honestly say, I think these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had on my feet. They are worth every penny of comfort.

These are cute, cushy and comfy. I\'m not sure if they actually do give you a better work-out, but they\'re adorable and make you feel like you\'re walking on air. I had to reorder them in a half a size larger than I normally wear. The first pair were a little too snug.

These shoes are great! I started out wearing them for short periods of time and gradually wore them longer; that worked very nice! I suffer from plantar fasciitis and I can comfortably wear these shoes; another plus!

I really love my shoes and and am using mine for my recovery from a stroke. I had an ischemic stroke in April 23, 2009 and through many prayers and miracles I made it through with the exception of my speech and that it coming along. I needed to change my lifestyle and get exercise (ugh) and these shoes are just the ticket. So it's true 'you don't even have to go to the gym'! By the way I tried to buy them in the stores, but they were 2-3 weeks out. Had to have them and Zappos had several in stock and they were sent the next day! Thank you for this.

\r\nI love the Sketcher Shape-ups. They are so comfortable - my legs feel great. I would recommend them to anyone who loves to walk. My legs feel healthy. I would buy them 1/2 size bigger than your normal size.

These shoes are fantastic, I am so happy with them! I was worried they would be difficult to walk in, but I wore them immediately on walks with the dog and found it to be a great work out without giving me any pain. They fit true to size. Love them!!

I got these shoes about a month ago. Just as they suggested, I wore them around the house. They seemed very funny and odd. I have been walking in them twice a week for an hour and the same walk seems to be more strenuous. It is because the shoes are constantly trying to balance. I feel great and will let you know how much I lose after a few months. The service was just fantastic! I had the most friendly assistant on the phone early in the morning!! I will certainly shop more from Zappos.

These take a little time to adjust to the way to walk in them to get the best effect. They are very comfortable to wear, I wear them all day several times a week. I can feel the muscles in the back of the leg working when I wear them. I love them.

I'm an RN on my feet for 12 hours and these shoes have been pretty good. They did rub my little toe in the beginning but other than that I have really enjoyed them. They also do a great job of maintaining good posture (have worn Dansko for years which are also great for posture). I'm not sure how great of a workout I'm getting (but I was in pretty good shape to begin with) but they do have a way of inspiring one to want to walk more which is beneficial to ones health. Overall, I would recommend them. I have even purchased a second pair.

Very comfy for work! No toning effect (of course), that’s ridiculous, and I wouldn’t wear them for anything but walking on an even surface, but they’re very cushiony and comfortable if you’re on your feet all day at work.

I don't buy online. Well I can hardly say that now that I bought my Skechers and the wonderful people at Zappos walked we through the process until I felt safe. And I'm so glad I made that leap of faith because I am enjoying my Skechers and was unable to buy them at the stores around me because of my wide foot size. I would do it again with them!

Ordered a pair of Skechers rockers around 4:00 PM on Tuesday and they arrived the next day. Ordering was easy and everything went as stated. Would recommend to friends and will order from Zappos again.

These shoes are super comfy and feel odd at first because you roll back. They are squishy and feel more soft on the bottom than any other shoes! After my first time wearing them for about 4 hours, I felt like I had had a calf workout. They are comfortable, and I recommend them, especially if you have a job standing all day (like a 12 hour nurse shift I am preparing to start doing.)

Great shoes. Takes a little getting used to, but after that, you will use them every day. Zappos is a great place to shop. I have done so many times, and will continue.

I like these sneakers. They’re very cushioned and help prevent the back stiffness I usually get when walking or standing. They will make your feet feel very warm; fair warning if you don’t like hot feet. I don’t know if they really help me “shape up”, but I do walk more often than I used to, now that my back discomfort isn’t an issue. Sometimes I walk my commute (about 5-6 miles roundtrip). They don’t correct your side-to-side foot posture; if your heel leans inward, for example, these shoes won’t prevent that. I normally wear 7.5, occasionally a 7. I bought the 7.5 and they fit well.

The shoes fit great, but they slip. Has anyone else had this problem? I have added 2 heel slip and to no avail; this problem is very uncomfortable. If it were not for this matter, I would give the 5 stars. I don't know what else to do. Anyone have any suggestion? I bought womans size 11 wide. Help!

I read the reviews on this shoe before I bought them, and I found it is true that the shoes do make your feet turn inward. They fit snugger than the walking shoes I normally wear, but they\'re still comfortable.

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 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.

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.

They're not pretty, but they sure are comfortable! While I wouldn't say they are a great everyday sneaker, they are terrific for walking and getting a lower-body work-out. Definitely worth it.

It took me a while to get used to the shoes. My feet hurt in them for about 3 weeks. But I work 8-10 hours a day and am on my feet 90% of the time. Walking in these shoes is great, but standing for long periods of time is not so great (my feet would ache). So far the shoes seem to do as they claim, I am happy with them.

I love my Shape Ups. Have to get used to them. I love all Skechers. I have Neuropathy and haven't worn such a comfy shoe in years. I have 4 varieties. Wish you would make a similar shoe for the men. The Skechers you have don't appear to my husband.

I read the other reviews and ordered a 1/2 size larger than I usually wear. They were too big. I found that my regular size was the correct size. I have a high arch and they fit fine. I have discovered that the Skechers Shape Ups I ordered make my feet sweat, there seems to be no breathableness to them. Otherwise, I like them and find very little other difference between them and MBTs.

Great, but I suggest you order 1/2 size up. I ordered a 7.5, my regular shoe size. Shoes fit a little snug near the toe, but it took wearing them for a day or two (outside, of course) to realize they are a tad too small. They cannot be returned so I will wear these with either no socks or with nylons (even my thinnest sport socks don't work). Went ahead and ordered the Shape Ups-Strength in Navy/White in a Size 8 and hope these will work better. Take a little getting used to the way they feel (and look: a little dorky), but even though they are too small, they are comfortable on the soles of my feet. I have orthotics and can't wear them with the 7.5 (should fit fine in the 8). Hope they do what they promise and Shape (me!) Up. And thanks Zappos for the lightning quick shipping!
