A Brand You Trust/strongbr / There’s a lot to be said about familiarity and credibility. 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. br /br /br //p/td/tr/tbody/tablediv align="left"pstrongThe design technology behind Shape Ups changes the way you walk./strongbr / 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.br /br / 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./ppDesigned 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./p/divpimg alt="SKECHERS Shape Ups" border="0" height="154" hspace="20" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/shoes/shape_ups/walking-diagram.jpg" vspace="20" width="400" //ppemstrongBarefoot walking simulation on soft ground/strongbr /br //em/pullidiv align="left"The heel sinks comfortably into the soft ground as you step/div/lilidiv align="left"You naturally roll forward as your weight shifts to the center and your balance is centered/div/lilidiv align="left"Easily push off with your toe pads/div/li/uldiv align="left"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./divimg alt="Shape ups walking diagram" border="0" height="481" hspace="20" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/shoes/shape_ups/walking-diagram-shoe._V224016037_.jpg" vspace="20" width="190" /div align="left"pstrongGet in the Routine/strongbr /br /strong1.

May work for some - M. L. Evans - COOS BAY, OREGON, US
These may well work for some but I have had a broken ankle and have had surgery on it a year ago so my ankle does not like the shoes, I will say if you follow the instructions you will feel sore muscles in you calfs, thighs, rear, and back, but I just can't wear them.
JUST OKAY - Nancie Marie - New Lenox, IL USA
i LIKE THE SHOE BUT FELT THE STRENGTH STYLE WAS LIGHTER IN WEIGHT WHILE STILL BEING STABLE THE METABOLISM ONE IS LIKE WALKING ON AIR BUT DOESN'T HAVE GOOD SUPPORT. I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON WHICH THING IS MOST IMPORTANT. I WORE MY STABILITY FIRST TIME TODAY (IN THE MALL) THEY WERE VERY EASY TO WALK IN. COULD LATER FEEL A WORKOUT IN THE LEG CALVES, HOWEVER, ONCE HOME COULDN'T WAIT TO GET THE WEIGHT OFF OF MY FEET. I WAS IN THEM TOTAL OF 5 HRS BUT ALSO DID A LOT OF STOP GO SHOPPING. MY FINAL ANALYSIS IS THAT THIS IS A GOOD SHOE TO SHAPE UP YOUR LEGS BUT IF YOU ARE BUYING FOR WORK COMFORT, GET A DIFFERENT STYLE.
