GREATEST SHOES EVER!, January 5, 2010
This review is from: Skechers Women's Shape Ups - Hydrate Sneaker (Apparel)
I am not athletic, I am overweight and would like to exercise, but my feet have hurt me for 3 years-ever since I fell and fractured my foot. I wear orthodics, but my feet still hurt me ALL THE TIME. I bought the Mary Jane Skechers and after two days wearing them, my feet completely quit hurting. I wore them to Las Vegas and walked the strip and still my feet did not bother me. My hip and my sciatic nerve also quit hurting. I am buying a pair in every color!!!!! If I get any workout out of them, that will be a BONUS!!! I AM JUST GLAD MY FEET DON'T HURT ANYMORE!!!!

Go for the Sleek Fit instead, March 4, 2010
This review is from: Skechers Women's Shape Ups - Hydrate Sneaker (Apparel)
I purchased the Skechers Hydrate as well as the Skechers Sleek Fit. I wanted to get the Hydrate because it was entirely black, whereas the Sleek Fit has white accent stitching. I actually found that the Sleek Fit looks much nicer in person than the Hydrate. My co-workers also agreed that it was a cuter shoe. The Sleek Fit has mesh paneling on the sides, which I can definitely tell is more breathable than the leather on the Hydrate. The Sleek Fit definitely runs a 1/2 size smaller, but the Hydrate does NOT run small. I normally wear a size 8.5 or 9, and I ordered both styles in 9.5. The Hydrate was too big, while the Sleek Fit was just perfect. If you're also looking at MBT, I suggest the Kaya. Personally, I thought the MBT Kaya was much more cushioned and had a lot more of the rocker action than any of the Skechers Shape-ups I have tried.

Very comfortable work shoes, May 10, 2010
This review is from: Skechers Women's Shape Ups - Hydrate Sneaker (Apparel)
I just recently purchased these shoes after being impressed with the comfort of wearing the "Metabolize" style of sneaker for dog walking and shopping, etc... I ordered these since they have a more professional look than the sneaker styles. This is by far the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn for work. I am in the healthcare field and although it is a desk job persay, it involves alot of running up and down a long hallway repeatedly throughout an 8-9 hour day. The floors at the office are linoleum or in some areas, indoor/outdoor carpeting over concrete; very unforgiving surfaces. I also suffer periodically from tendonitis in my hips, (as well as a few other joint areas), and sciatic nerve pain on occasion. I have also had a long history of lower back pain and after wearing these shoes I can honestly say that my back no longer hurts at the end of the day. Whenever someone complains of back or knee pain, I tell them to get to the store and try on a pair of shape-ups, and walk a couple of laps around the store, they really do make a difference. Some complain about the price but I tell them that after 20+ years of backaches and sore joints, they are well worth it. They do run true to size. It was very helpful though to be able to try on any style of shape-ups at a shoe store before ordering them online. It was great to get SuperSaver shipping on these too, and I got them in about 5 days after ordering.
