I bought these shoes 1 month ago, I have a bad back and bum knees and a torn ligament in my foot that acts up alot. I have tried expensive orthodics in my gymers and that does not help. I was a little skeptical with the 120.00 price of these shoes- but found them for 100.00 and 10% off at shoe planet and also free s/h and no tax which brought my total to 90.00.Online the shoes look a little funky- sole- but they are extremely cute- I bought the black/ white-they also are the most comfortable shoes I`ve ever owned have gone for many walks with the kids and dogs- infact they make me want to walk even more. You can definately feel the difference when you walk- my calves are sore when I finish - which never happend before, and i do notice more toning occuring. I am a thin person to begin with, but my theighs and calves wouldnt hurt to be more toned rather than the slight jiggle! Absolutely the best shoes ever- you wont be dissatisfied.

I had been debating between these and the Reebok Tone Ups but when I tried them both on in the store, I was simply not as impressed with the Reebok's. I run everyday so I thought the Reebok would be better because they would share a dual purpose but then I figured that the Sketchers shape ups were just so much fun that I was willing to give up my new pair of running shoes. To be honest though, after trying on the Reebok's I'm not so sure I would have wanted to run in those either. I'd rather have the Shape Ups for walking around all day and a good pair of Aisics to run/jog in. The Sketchers make my feet feel amazing all day that I don't mind walking long distances in them at all! My back feels great and my posture has improved greatly. Sketchers also sell the Shape Up XF Accelerators which you're supposed to be able to "jog" in but when I tried them on in the store, they weren't as wobbly because they are lower profile (and hence not as fun) and they didn't seem like a good running shoe to me so why not just get the regular shape ups and have more fun, right?

They feel like platform shoes on a rocking chair but more stable; like there is a small ball on the arch of your feet that you have to balance on to build muscle. You just have to try it to really get the true feel of it.

They can look a bit goofy so I would stay away from the bright colors to minimize the visual attention.

AND, yes. I am seeing pretty good results so far but it's only been a few days. ;)

I ordered it and was pleasantly surprised to receive them the next day. I use them to exercise, walk in the park and at work and you really get a work out when you use them, I would really recommend them. The first few days you will feel achy and sore and probably should use them gradually, I wore them to work and I work a 12hr shift, so it was alittle too much at first, but I use them now without a problem now

I just wanted to let all of you who are on the fence about buying these shoes, to let you know that they are so worth it. I got mine and I walked 3 miles the day I got them. I completely felt the burn in my calves, hamstrings and glutes. I think once I master them they will provide for some greater results. I will be buying every pair in every color. I can't wait for Skechers to broaden this line.

I find the new skechers are much like the old earth shoes I had long ago. This fit well and are fun to walk around in. They do give your legs a work out, you don't want to put them on and go really far the first few times or your legs will hurt.

I have had these shoes for a little over a month now. I noticed a difference from day one. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I usually have poor posture with the slouchy shoulders....with these shoes on, it is impossible to "slouch" they make you stand up straight! My back does not ache anymore, my feet do not ache anymore either. I am have noticed a measurable difference in my legs and butt area, definately more firmer. I have recently started doing intervals on my threadmill while wearing them, and you can really feel your muscles working! Makes me more motivated to keep going everyday! I will be definately buying another pair or two of the different styles!

I recently bought a pair of Shape ups and the 1st thing I noticed was that my feet don't hurt anymore. The round bottom gives great arch support.
The 2nd thing I noticed was that I was feeling muscles working in my legs and posterior more than they have before.
The 3rd thing I noticed is that they are best used on level ground since walking on uneven ground can get a little tricky.
The 4th thing I noticed is that I wanted to walk further and longer and didn't need to stop and rest so often. Why didn't someone think of this idea before?!
They aren't for running, just walking, so if walking is what you want to do, definitely get these shoes!

PS. I also love the color. I got the gray and pink shoes. I wish they made a solid gray but these are still really cool looking shoes.

I had to return my Skechers Shape Up - Action Fitness shoes because my feet rolled inward too much. I replaced the insoles with Viscola Sport, which helped my arches, but didn't control over-pronating. I really like the idea of Shape Ups and wish they had worked for me.

I just got these shoes, while I have not noticed any soreness, they are really comfortable and fit well. I am a 9.5 or a 10 (usually a 10) and the 10s fit perfectly.

I bought these shoes because I was curious if they would help my feet (I have plantar fasciitis) and if they would really make my legs look shapely and toned. On the first count, I will say they are very comfortable for my feet. It's very hard for me to find sneakers I can wear comfortably, and these are definitely that. I used to have to put arch supports (at $20 a pair) in all my shoes, but I do NOT need them in these shoes. On the second count, I have to say the shoe's claims are true. After breaking them in (wearing them one hour the first day, two the second, etc.), I wore the shoes every day all day. I did go for walks in them but mostly I wore them around my house, shopping, etc. I did not have the soreness that some people say they have from wearing them at first, but I did notice I would feel different muscle groups working at different times. I did not notice any change until 10 weeks into wearing them, at which time I have to say my legs were noticeably firmer. I was hoping for my calves to be a bit bigger, but there is some change in them. The biggest difference is in my thighs. I have done fitness videos, weight lifting and walking for years and I have to say that I have never had such noticeable and fast restults (with so little effort). I changed nothing in my workout routine except wearing these shoes. Now I am going on longer walks in the shoes with the hopes of speeding up the leg-firming and shaping process. Another benefit I did not expect is that I have had NO lower back pain at all since wearing these. I often got lower back aches when I was on my feet for a long time (like doing cafeteria duty in my kids' school). I have NO back pain when wearing these. It really seems too good to be true that wearing these shoes around has firmed up my legs so much, but it is true. So I will be buying these for many years to come!
