When buying SKECHERS, you know you are getting style and quality at a reasonable price. We’re a company you’ve trusted for more than 15 years.

The design technology behind Shape Ups changes the way you walk.
As we move through our lives, we typically walk on hard surfaces, which places stress on our knee joints and lower back. People who are required to stand for their jobs feel the impact on their bodies the most, and don’t gain the benefits that come with all that activity.

The goal with Shape Ups was to simulate walking on soft ground. SKECHERS has turned hard surfaces into comfortable ground through revolutionary technology designed into the framework of the shoe. The core of this technology is in the dynamic rolling bottom, the soft foam insert under the heel, and the dual-density midsole. These three elements work together to give you the feeling of walking on sand or luxurious pile carpet--regardless of the actual surface. Walking on softer, uneven surfaces forces you to engage muscles not normally used when walking on hard ground. Not only does this strengthen your muscles, but it also increases blood flow and reduces the impact on your joints and lower back.

Designed to improve your life by changing the way you walk, Shape Ups feature a unique soft kinetic wedge insert and dynamic rolling bottom to simulate walking barefoot on a giving surface that gives such as sand. With the comfort of Shape Ups, you will feel your heel sink to the ground as you step, roll forward as your weight shifts to its center, and push off with your toes. This movement will result in stronger leg, buttock, back and abdominal muscles as you stabilize your steps.

Barefoot walking simulation on soft ground

• The heel sinks comfortably into the soft ground as you step
• You naturally roll forward as your weight shifts to the center and your balance is centered
• Easily push off with your toe pads

Due to this unconventional manner of walking, we suggest you moderate your walking routine in Shape Ups for the first week or two (25 to 45 minutes per day), depending on your level of fitness. As you continue to wear your Shape Ups, your body will adjust to this new method of walking. You will find it easy and comfortable while still enjoying the strengthening and cardiovascular benefits.

Get in the Routine

1. Kick Back: Stand upright and place feet parallel and hip distance apart, balance centered. Roll your weight onto the back of the soft foam heel – hold for a count of five and then back to the center. Do not lock knees or tip backward. Stretches calf and hamstrings. Repeat 5 to 10 times.

2. Rock and Roll: Stand upright and place feet parallel and hip distance apart, balance centered. Roll your weight forward so you are balancing on the underside of your toes – hold for a count of two, then slowly rock back to the soft heel – hold for a count of two, and then back to your center of balance. Do not lock knees or tip backward. Stretches calf and hamstrings, warms up Achilles and ankles. Repeat 5 to 10 times.

3. Roll and Rock and Roll: Follow the Rock and Roll stretch, but alternate feet so one is rolling to the toes and one is rocking back. Repeat 5 to 6 times.

4. The Lean: Place your hands on a wall, parallel and slightly above your head. With one leg in front of the other and your arms forward, press with your palms as if you were leaning on the wall. Keep your back leg straight and your front foot on the floor, then bend the front leg and lean forward by moving your hips toward the wall. Hold for a count of five, then repeat on the other side. Stretches calf and Achilles. Repeat 5 to 6 times.

Ok, First off I'm a male in his mid 40's.
Secondly I need to exercise more and found out how AWESOME SKECHERS Shape ups were just the other day at our local Department store while shopping with the wife for shoes for her.
The Dept Manger brought the wife out some SKECHERS Shape Ups to try on, and she asked me if I would like to try some on also.
I end up trying on a pair of Women's Shape-ups - Style #11815 in a Women's size 11M (same as a mens 9D) and fell in love with them except it is Winter now and I needed boots instead now here in Kansas!
So I bought A pair of Shape Ups - Elasticity in Black 11M since there is no mens boots and they fit like a dream!
No more Freezing my feet in Canvas Hi Tops or my Steel Toe work shoes this Winter!
YAHOO!!!!!!
These Boots look fine under guy's jeans or with the jeans tucked in to keep them dry while out in the Snow, and really if you ask the wife or myself they could be sold as men's boots also.
I could feel right away how they make you work your legs, but were also so very comfortable at the same time.
The first thing I did when I got them was to waterproof them, and Am I glad I did!
Since I just got done shoveling 7 inches of snow off the driveway in them!
And my feet for the first time WERE NOT FROZEN!
I can see I'll be wearing these everwhere I go and getting a workout at the same time!
What more could you ask for warm dry feet and a great workout to help you loose weight!
And BTW I had no problem with the soles slipping in the snow or on the ice.
Also they will fit larger calves just fine as mine at the top of the boot are 16".
These are some great Boots and I will be buying more SKECHERS SHAPE-UPS for Summer and in fact my poor other Sneakers don't stand much of a chance to get worn that much any more if ever!
Since We found SKECHERS SHAPE-UPS!
These are SO AWESOME!

4.0 out of 5 stars So cute and comfy!, October 27, 2009

Right off the bat, I will tell you- you read everywhere about how these shoes run a half-size small? Not in this style. They are very true-to-size. I have a few pairs of Shape Ups, and I love them- this pair is no exception. They have a zipper, so you don't have to mess with lacing them all the time, and I have worn them comfortably all over Disneyland. They easily came off for an airport screening, and were back on my feet with a minimum of fuss. The only thing I am not thrilled about is the small Velcro strip used as a closure above the zipper- it makes the top buckle a bit. But I can tell it was a must for the necessary versatility to fit a wider range of sizes. These are very cute and comfy- I have gotten compliments every time I have worn them. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase!

I have a pair of Skechers ankle boots that I've had for years and love how toasty they keep my feet without making them sweaty during cold weather. I also have a pair of Skechers shape-up sneakers that I absolutely love, so when I started shopping for a black pair of winter boots I found these. They are everything I expected. So comfortable and my feet stay toasty & dry in these also. They are a little sporty for some dress occasions, but if it means keeping my feet warm I'll wear them anyway. Also I was pleased that these are true to size and you can wear a heavier sock where as the sneakers are a little snugger and are best with a lighter weight sock. You will not be disappointed if you purchase these great boots.
