I was really excited to get these shoes and paid more for them then I have ever paid for an everyday walking shoe. The first night I wore them to work (I am a registered nurse and I work 12 hour shifts)I definately noticed a slight burn in my legs, but after that night I was never bothered by them again. They are by far the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn to work or anywhere else for that matter. Since purchasing these many of my co-workers have also purchased them and are also very happy with how comfortable they are. I am going to buy more pairs of shoes like these in some different styles this summer since these have been worth every penny. The only thing that I would say negatively about them is that I really did not feel as much of a workout as I was hoping to, but other than that they keep my feet, knees, and back from hurting by the end of each shift and that is very important to me.

I have these on right now. I had no problems breaking them in; the fit was perfect-true to size. I'm a first grade teacher and I've worn them to work. At the end of the day, my feet still feel great. I just wish they were a bit cheaper...I'd love to have several pairs!

I read the reviews before purchasing as I don't like spending that much on a shoe.
I have Plantar Fasciitis, bad ankles, knees and hips.
These shoes have been the best I have ever worn!
Yes I feel the work out they give my legs, but even better to me, no more pain in my heels.
I have been recommending these to all my friends and co-workers.

First of all I want to say these shoes appeared to be a bit to high when I first saw them on a friend of mine. But when I injured my ankle (repeated sprains) and it wouldn't heal my doctor suggested i get a very cushiony shoe, so I thought of Sketchers Shapeups! I got my shoes just 3 days ago and within 24 hours my injured foot felt much better and today I don't feel any pain at all! On top of that pleasant surprise, I have been able to work out moderately using the Nintendo Wii Fit program and wearing the sketchers around the house [I wouldn't dream of wearing them out in the 4 Feet of snow we currently have outside :))] I have felt my legs get a real workout and my back is in no pain at all, something I normally do struggle with. One piece of advice I would give potential buyers though is to buy them where you can easily exchange them if need be. I bought mine at Zappos.com and although i had no issues if I had purchased them on Amazon I may have since I needed a wide shoe and wide was not available on Amazon. I would buy another pair on Amazon as long as it was actually sold by Amazon and not another seller. I got a good price for mine at only $60.00 so I will be buying a couple of more pair, so I can keep one clean for in the house only. I am looking forward to doing a real workout this summer outdoors. Whether you buy them for exercise or just good foot support they are well worth it! Unlike some reviewers I can say these shoes do offer very good arch and heal support. I normally need to wear orthotic devices in my shoes and I hate them. These shapeups have allowed me to get full support and feel comfortable as well as enjoy the ability to have a pain-free experience!

I love the shoe , but my order was mixed up !!!! I ordered the strength wide , but shoe mall sent me an email confirming my order for a different shoe !!!! The metabolize shape ups have different product numbers because they are a different shoe !!!
Make sure ur confirmation email matches What u ordered

We were going to the UK for our 25th wedding anniversary and I desperately needed comfortable walking shoes. My husband bought his at a store for considerably more money than I bought these on Amazon for. I wore them for 2 weeks before we left to make sure they would be appropriate. I can't wear other shoes now. My lower back pain disappeared after 2 weeks. When I try to wear my old shoes the pains came back.

waThese were well worth the purchase price!

I work in a boutique so I'm on my fee A LOT. I was skeptical as to the comfort of these shoes, but I've got to admit - I love them. My feet are not tired by the end of the day - but my legs do feel as if they've done some work. I haven't noticed my back giving me a problem either since wearing these.

I didn't realize I had ordered the wide width until they arrived, but to my pleasant suprise they fit wonderfully. . .guess I have Fred Flintstone feet after all.

I saw my sister in law with these shoes on and asked if they were comfortable and her reply was "yes indeed, they are the best" so I had to find some myself. I looked for a long time until I decided to check Amazon; found them, bought them and now that I have them, they are great! I like the way my feet feel and what it does to my body when I walk. These shoes are wonderful, you must get a pair.

Has helped with my back pain and I don't have to use my cane as much.

I have been wearing MBT shoes for over 4 years now and when Sketchers introduced their Shape Ups shoe I thought that this was a more reasonable cost for the same type of product. Wrong!!! This shoe does not offer the same type of support for your foot.
