Skechers Shape-Ups

I have some skecher shape-ups and I like them. They are nice and comfortable. It may hurt your leggs and lower back for a short time, but it will get better. When you read the paper on them it says that you should take your time and get use to them, this is true. I do love mine! Good luck with them and careful on steps!

I had a pair of skechers shape ups that I ultimately gave to my daughter. I liked the shoes for the most part, but I had very bad foot burn every single time I wore them. They do take some getting used to and there are many many reports of serious ankle injuries including fractures from individuals wearing them and stepping wrong, etc. My daughter wore them on the treadmill (she swears I didn't warn her not to run in them), she was running and fell off the treadmill (the rocker like soles contributes to poor balance - especially when running), and she seriously sprained her ankle. THEY ARE NOT MADE FOR RUNNING - ONLY WALKING. If you have balance issues, I would definitely not recommend them.

Others I have talked to absolutely love them - nurses say they are the best/most comfortable shoe they have ever worn.

They are my favorite pair of shoes out there. I don't buy into that whole get a great hiney thing but they have made my knees/ankles feel better. If I have to be standing or moving any period of time, I wear them because they are so much more comfy.

I've had the shape-ups for almost a year. I work two nights a week as a server and almost always wear them. I haven't noticed a change in my butt or thighs from them. However, if I don't wear them to work, my lower back throbs when I go to bed. I am on my feet for at least 8 hours at work. They are awesome for lower back support! Don't make the same mistake as me. Read the instructions or watch the dvd that comes with them. When I first bought them, I just threw them on and went to work. I could barely walk the next day! You definately have to ease into them. Good luck and a happy back!

I have them, and you aren't really doing nothing for something. You have to walk in them for them to do the job. It is also helpful in easing your back pain. I wear mine when I am going to be out all day, might as well tone and be comfortable all at once. It was one of my mother's day gifts last year.

I love my reebok easytone, they do take sometime getting use to however I have no problems running or walking in mine... not that I run alot.. but I can in them!!

I have a pair and I like them, but I dont know about the whole toning thing. But I do think they've helped me with my posture. I feel like I stand a little straighter now. Hope yours work out for you!!

I've had my Skecher's Shape-Ups for about a year. People used to ask me all the time if I noticed a difference in my butt/thighs. I alway replied, "No, I eat too much to see a difference." :laugh:

But seriously- I wear them daily - I stand on my feet on concrete floors from 8-12 hours a day. These shoes made my lower back and leg pain disappear! I love them because they are so super cushiony and supportive. As others stated - not for running and it takes a few days to get used them. I wear mine on the elliptical with no problem.

When I wear "normal" running shoes now they feel weird - too flat.

Another bonus? These shoes make you a little taller if you are short like me! :bigsmile:

I bought my Skechers to improve my posture and ease my lower back pain. I didn't follow the instructions about wearing them for short periods until you get use to them and I suffered from terrible shin splints as a result. Since then, I wear them for a few hours at a time and they really make me stand more erect. They are designed for walking only, not running or doing side to side movements. I feel so much better afterward whenever I wear them.
