I just love these sneakers. They are extremely comfortable and took no time to get used to wearing. I am a dancer and have bunions and have a real hard time finding shoes that don\'t hurt my feet. These are the best!! Fit true to size for me!

I love these shoes, they are without a doubt the most comfortable walking shoes I have ever owned (I now own three pairs of different colors). After walking long distances my feet used to hurt so bad I could hardly walk. Since the Skechers Shape Ups I have no problems at all. They are great. Zappos service is the best. I ordered these on Sunday and they were on my doorstep on Monday. I wear a 9 1/2 and ordered a 10 (I don't like my toes to touch the end of the shoe). They fit great, nice and snug.

I have been wearing MBTs for 3 years and loved them. I needed new ones, but I didn't want to spend all that money so I tried the Skechers same style and I love them. I am a casino dealer in Atlantic City and have gotten much attention from my Skechers and I tell everyone how much I love them.

I wanted these shoes for a long time, but didn\'t want to spend this much money. However I am glad I did. These shoes are so comfortable. It feels like you are walking on air.

This is the first time I ever spent this much money for a pair of shoes. I'd do it again, and again. These shoes have changed my posture, and changed the shape of my body. It's like being on exercise program, and these shoes are like a power shot of nitrous. The results come quickly. Now, for the comfort of the shoe, well, it's hard to get me out of them; I wish I had a hundred more pairs of them. They'd be worth every cent.

I absolutely love these shoes! I just started a new job in a hospital pharmacy. My job requires a lot of standing and walking. These shoes took no time at all to get used to. They are one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. So many of my co-workers have asked about them and are thinking of purchasing as well. I hope to buy another pair that will be for running around outside of the hospital. It is very innovative idea for shoes!

I got these shoes two days ago! I can feel them work. My legs feel like I have done many squats; I also feel sore in the abdominal area.The only thing I really don't like is the padded area that sits behind the bottom of your Achilles tendon. It seems to be a bit too much padding and bothers me a bit. I would like to see them come out with a dressier style.

These shoes are wonderful. They make you stand up straight. They feel real strange when you put them on, but as you wear them, you get used to the feel. It's like walking in sand. You strengthen your legs as you walk. They are great for shopping, or fitness walking.

I ordered this shoe from Zappos and it was on my doorstep less than 24 hours later. This is a cute shoe that fits well. I walked in them two days for about an hour each day. They must be working, my calves and the backs of my upper legs are moderately sore. I did not find them hard to walk in. I\'m satisfied with this purchase and thrilled with Zappos\'s amazingly fast shipping.

I\'ve been wearing these shoes since they arrived. They are great. I agree with some other reviews that they should be ordered 1/2 size larger than your normal size.

There is a little getting used to the shoe. It is very comfortable immediately, but you tend to walk funny for a while. You can feel your muscles working, while walking. I love them! Zappos gave me excellent service.

I ordered this shoe 1/2 size larger than what I would normally wear. That didn't prove to be necessary with this style. I just wear heavy socks with them and lace them tight. I don't actually feel any significant difference in my legs or bum as I hoped I would. They are nonetheless very comfortable. Zappos service is excellent and keeps me coming back. Will continue to shop with you.

What great service, both the purchases and a return. Very prompt & courteous associates and next day delivery was wonderful ! I ordered 2 pairs of the same shoe but 2 different sizes (just in case). Kept 1 pair and returned the other pair. Credit was issued in a very timely manner and both the purchase and return were handled beautifully. Thank you so very much!

The shoes were not available at the local Sketchers store nor the web page. I immediately went to the Zappos website. Not only were they available, they were less expensive then at the store. The shoes are absolutely wonderful. They are so very comfortable, although they take a little getting used to in the beginning. I would recommend them to anyone who is interested in all day comfort.

Two words: Holy Crow! I was super skeptical about this product. I just signed up for cosmetology school, and the "uniform" required non-athletic, black shoes. It took a bit to find something that would be comfy on my feet since I dislocated my patella in June, and I have super narrow flat feet. I ordered these yesterday at 4 pm and got them today at 3:30! Love Zappos! Put them on and it was amazing! I'm a believer! These are going to be perfect for being on my feet for all those hours! And they look professional to boot!

The shoes are of good quality. I purchased them because I am on my feet a lot at work and I have heel spurs. I thought that they may help take pressure off my heels. I still have to have my orthotics in them or my heels hurt. The problem is that wearing them for any length of time makes the joints in my big toes hurt. If you have this type of foot problem I would not recommend buying them in hopes that they would help. I am unable to wear them to work as I intended.

I am extremely satisfied with my Skechers Shape Ups. They feel like you are walking on a cloud. At first I didn't think they increased my walking benefits until I walked without them and could feel my muscles were stiff, which meant they had been working harder then usual. Now it's like walking in any other athlete shoe, but getting a more beneficial workout. I would recommend buying 1/2 size larger than you normally wear. I have a narrow heel and they fit tight on the heel without slipping up and down while walking.

I was really anxious to try these Shape-Ups. They are so comfortable, really cushy. I always work out so don't really feel any particular tightening of glutes, hamstrings or calves. But I feel like I stand straighter.

Bought my first pair in October and absolutely fell in love, second pair at the beginning of November. My husband and I travel in our RV. I can walk all day in these with no back or knee pain. I did not get the half size up on the first pair but did in the second pair, much more comfortable. Width is perfect for me.

I absolutely love these shoes. I bought the white ones for work and liked them so much that I bought this black pair to wear on weekends. They have great arch support and are so "cushy" in the middle. Buy a pair and try them, you'll love 'em.

The first thing I\'d like to say is, I chose not to go up a half-size with these and I am very glad I didn\'t! These fit me very true-to-size. I do have to go up to an 8 1/2 in some very dressy shoes, but with these, the 8s fit perfectly. The shoes feel strange at first because you\'re not used to them, but they are comfortable and feel really good on. I am looking forward to wearing these to work (I am a nurse, on my feet all day). I can tell they will be comfortable shoes to wear for long periods of time. They were pricey, but if they are as good as I think they\'ll be, I won\'t mind paying more for them.\r\n\r\n

I have had these shoes about 1 month now. I am happy with the purchase and do feel like I am getting a better workout when I walk in them. It is important to follow their directions about limiting your walk time in them for the first week or so. Now, I can wear them all day and don\'t even notice them as being any different from my other walking shoes. The biggest improvement for me is the elimination of lower back pain that I get from walking or standing for long periods of time in my normal athletic shoes. I recommend these shoes and will be back for more.

These are great shoes. They have all the design benefits found in the pricey MBTs, but are much lighter in weight, a big incentive to wear them more! I also really like the memory foam footbed; I think it helps to cushion the muscle changes that will occur over time, again allowing one to make the necessary anatomical shifts over time and without "break in pain." I highly recommend these shoes.

I'm a nurse and always on my feet at work, and I have this shoe in white and just received them in black. I definitely felt the burn in my legs after a few hours the first few days I wore them, but these are by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. True to size and cute as a button! Absolutely no break-in needed. These shoes make me feel like I'm walking on marshmallow clouds. I love these shoes!
