Sketchers Shape-Ups

[megkpik 1]

Hey guys!

Just wanted to let everyone know I bought a pair of Shape-ups today and I LOVE THEM!! They were $99. I first saw them on Victoriasecret.com (they had a pink pair for like $120) and fell in love. I didn't find any pink ones, so I bought the white ones instead. When I got home I walked around my neighborhood and I could really feel it working in my butt and abbs. Even tho the DVD that came with the shoes said to only wear them for 30 min at first, I have not taken them off all day .

Anyways, if you do not own a pair, I recommend buying some.

Benifits (according to Skechers)

I have yet to buy a pair but plan to in the near future. I have a friend that has a couple pair of their thongs and she wore them all summer and until the snow hit.

Yeah I had a pair of fit-flops also! I wore them when I was shopping in the MOA (Mall of America in MN). The mall has 3 floors, each having a 1 mile perimeter. I was very pleased with them, after 3 miles, I had no pain in my feet, back, legs ext. The only problem was that they were very UGLY! ha. Being 21, I was kind of embarrassed to be wearing them. They made my toes look 10 in long. haha. Anyways, the Shape-Ups, I think, are very cute!

I thought the pairs my friend had were cute...

Have done many, many trips around MOA...we are from MN. Haven't been back for 10 yrs.

I just bought some of those this morning. I bought the black ones. Can't wait to start using them.

I'm from Minnetonka. Its about 30-45 min away from the MOA. Its a great place, although I don't live there anymore. I moved to Mississippi for school.

MOA is a great place but need at least a couple of days to take it all in. You definatly would get your exercise shopping there.

So they are really helping you? I asked my Physical Therapist about them, she is very skeptical of them & told me to save my money. PT b/c my knees are killing me from the gym & all the movement now! But you totally have me rethinking this!

I have a bad knee and a knee replacement:frown:, if they do nothing but cushion you knees and hips that is a plus. I own a pair and they are great my knees and hips they do not hurt at the end of the day. I work in food service and I so a lot of walking and standing. I will let you know about the shape up part but the cushion under the bottom is great.

I don't know about the shape-ups, but the similar MBTs were highly recommended by my podiatrist. I have the fit-flops and the fitpflops clogs that I use as slippers around they house, they are so stinkin comfortable I now want to wear them everywhere.

I walk for miles and miles each day, and am looking forward to summer---I HATE wearing walking shoes (obviously, I still do), but am looking forward to MBT walking sandals. I will wait to invest in the shoes until next winter...foot size will probably be different by then!

I can't bring myself to pay $120 for a pair of sneakers... but I sell Avon and they sell Curves products and they have the same kind of sneakers... they are normally $49.99 but I can order them through tomorrow for $39.99 and I am going to do just that. THAT I can handle.. LOL I will let everyone know once I get them if they work as well. $50 is much better then $120... LOL

I bought the MaryJane Shape-Up's and they were wonderful!!! I cant say I got any additional excersise benifits but they were so comfortable. In fact I bought a second pair of the Nubuck-Black Shap-ups....Yes they are expensive..but the comfort was too good to pass up.

I wanted to buy the ankle boot shape-up, but I couldn't find them, so I bought an imitation brand at K-mart called Therashoe. The shoes only cost $20, and are so comfortable. And I really noticed how much they have toned up my legs. I plan to get the flip-flops when the weather gets warmer. I highly recommend them.

So have any of you used the Shape Ups for exercising other than walking? I do some light aerobics at home and am wondering if these would be good for that as well as walking.

Thanks!
