Customer Reviews SKECHERS Performance Shape Ups- Metabolize

I love the new Skechers Shape Ups. They are very comfortable and I am amazed at how much farther I can walk before feeling tired. Giving them 4 stars for overall because I am not sure how I rate the high cost yet; it will depend on how long they last. They sure are a conversation starter!

They're cute and pretty comfortable, but they do NOT run small. I have fairly wide feet and wear a 5 1/2 shoe, but ordered a 6 because of the reviews. The 6 slipped in the heel and had plenty of wiggle room in the toe straight out of the box; they will surely stretch with wear. Order your true size first. If they're too tight, exchange them. For how spongy the sole is, the shoe feels a bit hard on the ball of the foot. I would also prefer more arch support. The rocker-bottom sole will definitely make a larger foot appear smaller, which is rare in a sneaker. That alone should be a strong selling point. As to the merits of Skechers 'health benefit claims', hard to say. I imagined a little tightness in my calves the first night, but no more so than when breaking in a new pair of Birks. Don't expect any miracles.

They're not as comfortable as MBT's, no comparison! They're a lot cheaper, but I should have paid the extra $ for the MBT's.

Not very cushy or comfortable, but they are stylish. Should order a half size up, though, and this shoe runs narrow. Had these for almost 3 months and I have to say I don't think it's worth the money; I didn't get the unbalanced effect even after following the cd instructions. It seems to me you're better spending your money on a really supportive athletic shoe and just learn how to walk "correctly" as Skechers puts it. I walk an average 18000 steps a day for work and these just don't make the cut. My regular NBs are awesome compared to the Shape Ups.

Due to a foot injury, I\'ve sought comfort in many different styles of shoes and was hopeful the sketchers would provide the same confort that MBT\'s do. I did not find that to be the case for my particular foot problem.\r\n I had to send the first pair back and order 1/2 size larger and still found them more narrow in the toe box than MBT\'s. \r\n The rocker feel is not quite the same and I found they don\'t keep me on my heels as well as the MBT\'s. \r\n For those with normal feet and just interested in the trendy look, they might be fine.

These shoes are heavier than stated and not far from the type of MBT that I like. They run at least one full size shorter and are narrow. The toe box tapers quickly and does not give any room. They are unstable laterally and do not align the body toward the heels, but I feel like I am projected forward. They did not work for me, but thanks to Zappos great service they are on their way back.

These shoes are awful. I own a pair of MBTs, but thought these may be something to use while getting those re-soled. They were such a disappointment. First, the velcro would not stay attached. I was in a cab and the driver stopped a little abruptly and the strap popped open. I was miserable every second I had these shoes on. I sent them back. Save your pennies and buy the MBTs.

I have two huge blisters on my heels after walking in these shoes for just fifteen minutes. I am usually wearing heels and such and can handle most shoes. I would rather walk a mile in five inch heels than these torture devices. These are horrible! Do yourself a favor and save your hundred dollars!
