Customer Reviews SKECHERS Shape-ups Shape Ups

Shape ups. They felt very silly at first. I originally bought them because my feet and knees ached after 10 hours running around a grocery store. I wanted something for my feet, a break or a vacation from the standard everyday shoe. Shape Ups are very comfortable. I got really sore after the first day of wearing them. I wore them for 10 hours and not the recommended 30 minutes. I put my Superfeet insoles in them for better arch support. My skinny heels slide out unless I tighten the shoes real tight. They are noticeable not only because they make you taller, but they change your body language around. It is easier to put my shoulders back and pull my stomach in. I don’t like to wear them every day because it is harder to bend down and reach boxes because everything is harder to reach. I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone who needs a little vacation for your feet and knees, ankles etc. Don’t buy them to help lose weight because that would take three lifetimes or more. Two people at work have already bought them. Again, don’t buy them to lose weight, they are just a shoe not a personal trainer. Have fun!

I wear size 11.5 in women’s so I had to go with a 9.5 in men’s. These shoes make my workout more intense (on the treadmill). My lower back has not been hurting after doing the treadmill as it used to using other workout shoes. Do they tone the legs? Time will tell. Overall, I will buy another pair when these wear out.

These Skechers Shape Ups are truly different. I find them very comfortable for walking, and had no issues at all "getting used to them." They really are made for walking at a pace, the design is not for wearing around the house, active sports involving changing directions, etc. They provide good support, and appear to be well made, time will tell. If they last they will be well worth the money. They are not cheap. Sizing was accurate.

I was skeptical at first of the claims Skechers made of this shoe until I bought a pair. I work on concrete at least 10 hours a day and my feet and knees take a brutal punishment. Well the real world truth is that these shoes do work as advertised in reducing foot and knee fatigue and add a level of comfort I have never experienced in a shoe. However, be prepared for a bit of break in pain if you decide not to heed the instructions of wearing them for only 20 to 30 minutes a day. I decided to break them in 10 hours a day. Nonetheless, my feet have adjusted and my wife notices that my leg muscles, and my, ahem, butt muscles have a nice shapely form to them. Arch support is moderate and if you have a high arch, you might want to consider an insole. I have had these shoes for three weeks now and I no longer suffer from foot or knee pain and my posture is improved. Follow the instructions and watch the enclosed DVD when delivered and you will enjoy them.

I received the Shape-Ups and have worn them several times. Down falls of this product, I think they are made more for out walking, my problem is I stand on concrete all day everyday between 8 and 16 hours a day. They are not good for just standing or walking for a few steps, the design with the rounded bottom puts a lot of pressure on the arch of your foot and without moving a lot they hurt your feet. When I've worn them for exercise (2 or 3 mile walk they are great) and really fell it in your legs, especially in your calves. I thought that with the cushion they would be good for standing on concrete.

I bought these on advice of my doctor to help with my plantar faciitis. It did not help me. For some reason, the curve on the show hit my foot the wrong way and made it hurt more. Is this a defect? I don\'t know.
