These are great. Even the younger people think they look good. That doesn't really matter to me because they feel great. I work in a warehouse standing on concrete all day and my feet have to be comfortable. With these shoes I find myself standing straighter and having fewer pains in my knees and back. I'm buying more of them in other colors.

I LOVE THEM!!! I am on my feet on concrete floors from 10 to 18 hours a day and what a tremendous difference they have made in my life. Back ache gone! The balls of my feet no longer hurt because the pressure is shifted to my heels which has such great give it feels like I’m walking on foam rubber. They are great, so I bought my husband a pair, the relief is amazing! I recommend them to anyone who has back or leg pain and sore tired feet I’ve told everyone. I will be purchasing more of these shoes definitely.

I love my Shape Ups! They are so comfortable. They did take a little longer than normal shoes to break in, but I think that speaks to the quality of the shoe. They are durable, too. I have major knee and back problems and in these, I can be on my feet for hours without being in pain, like I was before. I work in these too and when I get home, I’m still able to move around and be on my feet without being in agonizing pain. I love these shoes! I recommend them to anyone!

Very comfortable! Runs a little small, so bought a 9 (I am normally an 8.5). Definitely feel it working when you walk, very supportive at work on concrete floors (I work retail and am on my feet nearly 8 hours a day). They are better than any other shoe I have worn at work in a long time.

These are the most comfy shoes I have ever put on my feet! My other half and I both got them and we both love them. they run true to size for women's sizes but 1/2 size small for men. They do make your legs and butt tighten up so yo have to work up to wearing them all day. I'm going to get another pair, maybe even the sandals as well.

As mentioned by others I DID order a half size larger than my usual size. They fit great. I really picked these sneakers because I am not allowed to wear sneakers to work and these do not look like sneakers when worn with long pants, plus they give you the added height needed for dressier pants. I like the healthy aspect of them, too. I can't really tell you at this point if I look any better, but my knees feel great (they often give me problems) and I have comfort all day long (I work in a school). I am very happy with them and am considering buying the maryjane type ones next.

I ordered the Heelys and some Sports Skechers as Christmas gifts and the website is fantastic. The ease of it all was wonderful. The free shipping both ways is a bonus! Both fit perfectly; this site is now on my favs.

First off, Zappos is an absolute great company to purchase from. You get what you order, and the process is simple and speedy. Secondly, I walk over 15 miles per week. After purchasing the Skechers Shape-Ups, I can definitely tell that I am using muscles not normally used before. I would recommend these shoes to anyone who enjoys walking, whether it is simple strolls or power walking.

I love these shoes. It did take a few days of wear for me to get used to them (as stated in the provided product information) but after a short adjustment period, wow! The shoes feel awesome! I haven't worn them long enough to speak to the shape up claims but as far as comfort and an overall feeling of improved posture, you can't go wrong. I ordered the tan but I intend to get the black and the white as well.

Oh my, what a perfect shoe. I got the same size I wear in all of my shoes and they were so perfect. Its like walking on pillows. I can't believe how great these shoes are. If you have been looking for the perfect shoe, and here it is! Zappos is the best. I got my shoes in way sooner then expected, thank you so much! I'm lovin' it!

These shoes are great. So very comfy and I'd say the size was right on, too. They really do work. After I went for a walk, I could only go about 30 minutes when I usually would walk for an hour. I got used to them really quickly and really like them.

As usual my order arrived in even less time than expected, plus this time I received an extra break on my shipping! The Skechers Shape Ups are wonderful and they really do give you a bit of a work out, for me my upper thighs were a little sore first few times of use. I took advice from the other buyers and ordered size 8.5 as I have a high instep and didn\'t want to take any chances, it worked out fine I couldn\'t be happier! Thanks Zappos!

I love this shoe. I wear them to work every day. I was worried about putting on a new shoe on a work day, but from the minute I put them on, not only was I in total comfort, but I immediately felt my calves, quadriceps and hamstrings working. I will be honest and say that I have never felt any different in the gluteal muscles, but in a month's time I am getting definition in my calves and my thighs are definitely tighter. I'm pretty sure I have lost weight, but haven't got on a scale yet. I normally need a shoe that is a wide width. I ordered this shoe in a 1/2 size larger and don't have any trouble with my bunions. I have a high arch and this shoe has wonderful arch support. Zappos offers this shoe for less than stores in my area and with Zappos you don't even pay shipping. I got my shoes right away after ordering them. Order these shoes from Zappos with confidence!

I bought the shoes for my daughter who has back problems. Quick delivery, packaged well, totally the correct item. So far the shoes are the most comfortable fitting shoes and has helped her back and leg problems. Will order again!

After finally resolving to just do it and order my Shape Ups, Zappos gave me the best Christmas present! They sped up my order and gave me free shipping! Instead of waiting 4-6 days for my new shoes, I had them in 2 days. Thank you, Zappos!

I have the flattest feet in the world and love my Shape Ups. My arches feel wonderful. I'm walking 10000-15000 steps a day, and feel great. I bought a half size larger than usual.

I have a bad lower back disc, and have had trouble walking more than a block or two without my back tightening up painfully. I had read that these shoes were beneficial for people with back problems, and so I ordered a pair in my usual Skechers size (1/2 size larger than some other shoes that I wear). The shoes are amazing. I got through a whole grocery shopping without having to rest one foot on the bottom of the cart, and then carried all the groceries in and put them away without having to sit down. Haven't done that in years! The walking action naturally rolls from heel to toe, the way I struggled with in physical therapy a couple of summers ago. They're great for standing, too, because you can rock to change up the muscles you're using, and the cushioning in the sole is amazing. The overall support is great, and the toe box is nice and roomy. The curved sole does take a few minutes to get used to, but once I put these shoes on, I didn't want to take them off.

I received my shape ups from Zappos earlier than I expected and was very pleased. These shoes are extremely comfortable. My feet feel like they are wrapped in foam. But, they are work to walk in, which is the point. I have worn them on urban walking trails and also to my work, which is retail. I really feel my muscles working all the time I wear them.

I absolutely love these shoes. I wear them almost every day and would wear them everywhere if I could. The support is awesome and with each step I take it feels as if the first completed step propels me to the next foot step. I feel as if I am walking on clouds or once again (1980s) wearing "moon boots" only with superior support and comfort. I have recommended these shoes and this site to several friends and family members and will continue doing so. I have received many positive comments and compliments from complete strangers. I plan to purchase another pair in a different color soon.
I'd also recommend:
I tried Nike but it was not as comfortable to me. I love the Sketchers.

These are just awesome! I am already talking my family members into buying them. I even am wearing them for comfort and I just broke my toe 2 days before they came. I'm considering another pair in the close near future already. Definitely an excellent shoe to buy for fitness for your whole being. They're like walking on clouds!

On my feet for 8 hours in a retail setting, hard concrete and tile floors, these shoes are amazing! I have RA and my feet were always hurting until I got these shoes! I highly recommend Shape Ups as well as the Tone Ups. They have changed my life!

So far, I really like these shoes. I bought them a half size bigger. I have to wear thick socks so they fit better. I will probably buy another pair at my true size. These shoes DO correct my posture and are comfortable. Great service, Zappos!!!
