anyone wear/like Skechers Shapeups?

I use the Dr Scholls at work and several nurses wear sketchers and the other brands. It took me a while to get used to them as it helped balance my posture I think but now I wear them my entire shift without problems. Some people couldn't wear them but like I said, break them in slowly and gradually increase how long you wear them.

I have a pair and wore them out in 6 months! They help my knees and lower back a lot because I take a long stride and it hurts the back of my knees. If I have a lot of standing to do it makes a huge difference too. I always were them when I'm walking and will continue to buy them!

I have the avia avimotion athletic shoes and love them! Also have the earthwear flip flops and love them too! Super comfy!

I purchased the Skechers shapeups in Oct. and just gave them to a friend. I wear the sandals all the time. The reason I gave them to a friend is now I jog and you can't jog with them. I bought Acis sneakers with insoles and I don't feel my heel spur at all. Loved the Shapeups but they weren't getting much use anymore.:flowerforyou:

I have them, they're okay. I figured I needed new sneakers anyway at the time and they were only about 20$ more than I usually pay so what the heck - I'd try them.

I won't buy them again, they're fine for white sneakers, but they aren't anything special when it comes to walking in them. I don't think they've toned my legs or butt any better than any other sneaker would - and I can't use these to run or do other exercise in the way I would another regular sneaker. I also use an HRM to measure my calorie burn, and whether I'm wearing those or regular sneakers, I burn pretty much the same (Skechers claims a higher calorie burn of something like 10% - I haven't seen it)

My mom has the Shape Ups and she swears by them, LOVES them. I have the Reebok EasyTones and they're $20-30 cheaper. I don't know if they really tone or not but they are REALLY comfortable and when I put them on I just want to run and you CAN run in them. It feels like you're walking on air. They put a little "pep in my step." LOL

I have a pair and I love them. They are great for the knees or for anyone with bad knees. very comfy.. I would not play tennis in them but I do the elliptcial and walk.. I even do cardio kick boxing because it makes you off balance and it's great work out to try to keep balanced.

I haven't tried the Sketchers or the Reeboks, but I've got a pair of MBT shoes that I love...I had the trainers as well but they didn't fit right - I now have a pair of work shoes that don't look out of the ordinary at all. They are the COMFIEST shoes ever...I don't know if they halp with the toning but my posture seems better. I also have a pair of Fit Flops, which i got because they were more comfortable than regular flat shoes of flip flops for summer...

I have them and can't stand them! I have degenaerative arthritis in my left big toe, and the way you have to walk puts too much pressure on that toe. After about 1/2 hour I can my toe hurts so bad, I can barely walk. The pain and the prononced limp lasts for 3 days everytime I try to wear them. I feel like I totally wasted $75.
