Bought one day, received next! Very fast delivery. These are the most comfortable shoes I have. At work I am on my feet all day and these shoes did not need breaking in. I own 2 pairs, black and tan. I think white is next!

This is my second pair of Skechers Shape Ups. I love the way my legs feel when I wear them. It took about two weeks for me to get use to them, because I don't wear them every day, due to the fact that we are not allowed to wear sneakers at work or I would wear them every day! I have noticed changes to my legs since wearing them. Recently I put another pair of regular sneakers on and went out for the day; I could not believe the difference in the way my feet and legs felt. Let's just say that will never happen again since I just donated all my regular sneakers to Goodwill! Size and fit were great, you can't go wrong with Zappos free shipping both ways. These are diffently something you want to try.

I love Shape Ups for work. Originally, I bought another pair of all black Shape Ups with velcro closures but they kept coming undone. Luckily, Zappos exchanged those shoes for this style and I couldn't be happier. I own 2 other pairs of Shape Ups in different colors and I recommend them to anyone! These are worth the money!

Well, I have made the fatal mistake of ordering shoes without properly trying them out. At first I thought that the shoes would be okay but am not able to wear them as they have caused blisters on the back of my heels. Due to the fact that I had worn them outside I am not able to return them and will be in the hole for their cost. Should have gotten a size larger, maybe. What can I do now, I would like to get a pair that I can use as I was very comfortable in them for the short time that I had worn them. Any suggestions?

Great! These shoes are great, but if you're not used to exercising, you might want to wear these shoes every other day for a while. I wore them for a week straight and my legs hurt so bad I felt like I was going to fall over. I could barely walk for about 3 weeks. I work in kitchen at a hospital and I do a lot of walking and running around and my feet never hurt at all. Just make sure you get used to them before you start wearing them all the time or your legs might hurt really bad. But other than that, they are great!

I love these shoes. I work in a school cafeteria and am on my feet sometimes 7 hours a day. My back and feet no longer hurt at the end of the day. When I wore them the first day that evening my legs ached, so I knew they were working. I have also wore them while walking on the treadmill. I am also going to order them in black. They are true to size and width. You won't be sorry with these shoes for a workplace.

Love these shoes. One suggestion, lower the price and leave out the DVD. I wear these shoes all the time, work and casual. Will definitely buy again but hoping I don\'t have to buy another useless DVD.

I work in a restaurant, 8 hours on my feet every day. I was constantly in pain, my feet, legs, back. I could barely move in the morning so hurt I was. I changed 4 pairs of work shoes, nothing helped. Worst pain I had in my heels. Then I decided to try Skechers Shape Ups from Zappos because it was cheaper then at the mall plus free shipping. First time I wear them for 7 hours and fall in love with them. Now I wear them every day to work and to walk and feel just great. All my pain disappeared completely! I became more fit, I lost some weight from my belly! My legs became stronger, I have good posture now, feel much healthier! I highly recommend Shape Ups to everybody!

These shoes are fabulous. I bought them because I have chronic pain from a hip replacement. When you put them on, the shoes make you stand straight, back relaxed, abs tucked in, just like their publicity says. They are very comfortable to walk in as well.\r\n

Finally a pair of shoes that make my feet feel good while working. I have had foot pain for over a year and have tried everything, including orthotics. These shoes are what worked.

Awesome shoe! I work in a hotel kitchen and am on my feet 12-15 hours at a time and these shoes are so comfortable! You feel like you're walking on a cushioned bed for your feet and there is plenty of toe room. I wore these on the first day for 12 hours and my feet felt great! Did not take any time getting used to this unique style either. I have tried so many shoes in the last 6 months and have finally found one that is worth it! As usual, ordering through Zappos is wonderful! I ordered these at 4:00 pm and received them at my door the next morning at 10:30 am! With free shipping either way you really have nothing to lose. My feet thank you Zappos! I am recommending you to everyone I work with! Lots of compliments on the shoe, too!

The Sketchers Work Shape Ups are a must have if you are on your feet all day. It is like having an anti-fatigue mat whereever you go.

I got a pair of these shoes in August 2009! All I can say is wow, what a shoe. I bought it to help me lose some weight, but I don't get a lot of exercise because I work at home behind a computer all day, so I wear them mostly for shopping, outings, etc. or any other time I will be doing a lot of walking. I have begun to see the toning benefits in the sides of my thighs and my buttocks feels like it is getting firmer. As far as weight loss, not so much, but I don't get a lot of regular exercise, anyway. Problem with these shoes: everyone wants them, so you'll have to buy them for all of your friends and family! Four people in my family have them now because I broke them into these shoes! Two sisters have herniated disks, one has an ankle injury from a car accident, and all 3 love them for the benefits related to pain relief and off-loading their spines/heels. Don't be afraid to be good to yourself and get a pair of these! I recommend them to everyone.

There are lower-priced versions, but try them before you buy them; they are not all alike. The less expensive ones are not as thick and probably will not last as long. I think the price will come down on these after Christmas.

This shoe design is comfortable, in the sense that if you are standing for awhile, you can kind of 'rock' back and forth, to relax muscles a bit. However: These shoes are Heavy in weight. Also,after awhile, the Arch supports started to 'cut into' the bottoms of the arches of the foot, and the interior design of the foot bed also puts pressure on the ball of the foot, causing 'tiredness' and soreness, there. Also noticed that the tips of the toes end up feeling sore and bruised, because walking tends to 'throw' the tips of the toes repeatedly into the front interior end of the shoe. By the end of the work day, I ended up limping out to my car, with the bottoms of my feet, and ends of my toes feeling sore, and bruised, and heavy ankles, from the weight of this shoe style.

Too small. I bought these for my daughter to replace her old pair with the velcro strap closure. She wears a 40 (US 9) in Dansko, but these ran too short. We will try these in a half size larger if they Zappos has them.

Wow, I like the Shape Ups! They really are working. However, I work in a facility that has both tile and carpeted floors. The slip resistant shoes are great for the slick surfaces in the kitchen and halls. But when it come to carpets... let's just say it is like having traction control. Your body wants to keep moving but your feet will not let you. This is a bed design.

This was my first experience with Zappos and I was impressed. Service was very fast and the box contained instructions and a return label. Recd email confirmation as well the exact product I ordered. Thank you so much. Will definitely shop with you again. Warning... wear these shoes only for up to an hour the first week. Otherwise your feet will kill you. After you break them in, it feels like you are walking on pillows… aaaaaah.

I love these shoes! My posture was immediately corrected! I have really bad knees and my knee pain is almost gone. I try to wear them as much as possible because when I wear other shoes I can tell a huge difference. I will be purchasing different styles in the near future!

I have had these shoes for over a year and I loved them at first, now I am having major foot pain and after about 4 hours of standing on my feet the pain is almost unbearable. I work 8-9 hours a day in a restaurant and these shoes have messed up my feet. I tried to buy a different pair of shoes and my feet hurt even more now.

Like wearing these shoes. They are very comfortable. I am not happy with how they have ripped apart in the upper soles near the little toes. I am sending them back. I will give them another try and reorder them, the rest of the shoes is also wearing out way too fast.

I bought these for work thinking they would help with my knee and heel pain from standing all day in a restaurant job. While it does seem to help with that a bit, these shoes are so heavy, they make my legs tired just wearing them. And no, it's not from the "shaping" motion that they claim...it's hard to lift my feet at the end of the day. It's a shame because they are comfortable and seem good for awhile, but after about 3-4 hours I can barely walk in them.

I like the fit and feel of the shoes. I had a big problem with the shoes squeaking on most of the any floors where I work. I will not buy the work slip resistant style again.

While these shoes don't do any kind of "shaping" as they claim to, they are the most comfortable work shoes I've ever owned, and keep my heels and back from feeling sore after an eight hour shift on my feet.

These shoes are very comfortable and help with back pain. WARNING--- if you have Weak ankle, or tendoitis DO NOT PURCHASE. These shoes will cause undo stain on your tendons due to the unconcious rebalancing that takes place. I thought for a while i was getting better, but I am now in physical therapy and have been told by my PT and Podiatrist NOT to where these shoes. It is a shame becuase I have an almost new pair that I cannot use, and cannot return becuase that have been worn for a few weeks. Otherwise very well made and worth the money if you have the strong ankles to make them work for you!

Not wild about these shoes...Maybe I need more time to get used to them, but they hurt my back after wearing them for even just a few minutes.
