Skechers Shape-Ups

One of the nurses in my department wears those. She wore them all day long the first day and the next day she was hurting. She started wearing them a little at a time each day until she could wear them all day without discomfort. She says that she can feel firmness in her glutes. She says she loves them. I've seen other people wearing them throughout the hospital so....I quess that they're doing something for some people. :yawn:

Hello,

I personally passed on the sketchers shape ups because they were ugly and I thoguht they looked like I needed a lift because I had short legs or something. LOL:laugh: So I opted for the new Reebok Easy Tones (they already had the walking shoes out but I got the newest version the runners). They are black and look like a normal casual shoe so I can wear them to work and all. I could not get away with the sketchers. The Easy Tones were$100...if you go on Reeboks site you can customize them if you want. I just bought them at the Finish Line. I wear them all day and notice that I feel more muscle activity in my calves and butt. I also wear them when working out. It really helps to put more emphasis on your glutes. I definitely feel it in my glutes more when I do turbo jam. Well I hope this review helps.

I was wondering how those shoes were going. I am probably going to splurge and a buy a pair. Are they really worth the $100??

Hi,

Well I have only had them for less than a week so far. So I'll have to get back to you on that one LOL. But really, from the time I put them on I felt it in my calves as I walked out of the mall with them on. I got the running ones and wish I would have gotten the walking ones. The runners (although more professional and business casual looking) are more narrow at the top (which hurts my toes a little) and the material is harder leather. I think the walking Easy Tones would have been better for me personally. I do like them though. I wore them today doing turbo jam and really really felt more glute action! So I was impressed with that. As far as just walking around, I feel it more so in my calves but when you are doing exercises you can feel it in the glutes. I think they're worth the money. I previously spent $160 on some other Nike crosstrainers and they ripped at the seam after 4 months...I think these are much more durable and at least I can get some leg work done while wearing them.
