Don't get "shape up toning"shoes:my story

I've concerned that running will never be my sport.

I posted befre how much I like my step ups. That as true for my first pair (the black & white ones), but my new pair aren't so kind to my feet. For some reason, I walk differently in them and can't wear them every day. I'm not sure why.

I agree with the OP! I have knee surgery in January and someone recommended the Sketchers to me also. It didn't take me long to figure out that they caused my knee more pain when I wore them than regular shoes. So now I have a very expensive pair of shape-ups in my closet that I guess I'll throw away. I don't want to give them to anyone.... even Goodwill..... in case they would cause others the same problems.

I just recently bought a pair of the original Shape-ups. Haven't worn them enough yet to make a decision, but I will be VERY cautious and aware of how I'm stepping in them. I had a pair of the Reebok Easytones, which I loved. Only problem with them was no real tread on the bottom (icy parking lot at work and Easytones=multiple falls). Hopefully I can tell right off the bat with the Shape-ups.

Why would you even consider wearing them after reading my story or others? It's like deciding to smoke crack after you had a friend that was a crack addict. I was careful and aware of how I was walking in them.
