Customer Reviews SKECHERS Performance Shape Ups - Optimize

Goofy looking, but comfy - It takes a while to get used to the roll of the shoe and I don't think you are getting much exercise as they claim, but they are very well padded, great if you are on your feet all day.

I love the look and feel of these Shape-Ups (own several different shape-ups). The finish wears of immediately, returning them.

I am still deciding if I like these shoes or not. I ordered a 5.5, my normal shoe size and had to return them for a 6. They fit fine in that size. I felt a bit like a drunken sailor the first few times I wore them, it took me some practice to figure out how to walk in them. I don't think I could run for my life in these, but who knows? They do make me a little taller and that is fun, considering I am not quite 5' tall. Yup, just not real sure about these shoes....Especially for the price. Zappos, your service is awesome, thank you!!!

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.

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.

This shoe is the worst shoe ever. I am a severe underpronator and this shoe messed up my heels. I did live in them for over a month and maybe that wasn’t a good idea. They hurt so much, that at night I would cry----because I developed plantar fasciitis due to these shoes and the others I plan on reviewing. I hated them. Never again.

If I could give them 0 stars I would

Already worn them so I can't return them, but I HATE them. Love the look, but not a good shoe for anyone with any type of injury or misalignment in the body; it will only make the problem worse.

I am really disappointed in these shoes. After being so excited to try them and finding the money in my budget to pay the high price tag, they are already worn out in the short time I've had them. All of the lining in the heel of the shoe is gone, and I paid way too much to have shoe that are unwearable. I have not seen any workout benefits from them either. The only good part I have found with these shoes is slightly less back pain at the end of a long day, but I would guess there are cheaper solutions to that problem.

These are by far the worst shoes I have ever purchased in my 54 years. They turn your ankles---and I did watch the video and follow the instructions/practice etc. They are awful and I threw them out. I would not even donate them to charity--why spread the misery.

Think twice! This shoe is stiff and hot. It's not a good choice if you tend to over-pronate. I wore them twice and will never wear them again.

No MBT feel. It doesn't do anything for your muscles; does not give the same feel as MBT. What a mistake purchasing these; never again.
