I am a waitress and finding these shoes has been wonderful. At first when I wore them, they were a bit uncomfortable wearing for a long period of time. But you definitely get used to them. I've had them about a month now and I love them. I've worn an old pair of more expensive shoes that were supposed to be "good" for arch support and your feet and these surpass those in comfort by a long shot! Have let friends know how much I love these shoes and at the very least give them a try. If you don't love them yourself, you can always send em back but I highly doubt you will :)

I took other reviewers advice and ordered these a 1/2 size larger than normal; I'm on the large side of size 8 anyways and 8 1/2 fit perfect.
They are very comfortable (I have plantar fasciitis and pretty flat feet) and cushion my feet on long walks. They're no miracle weight loss tool, but I have noticed the muscles on the back of my legs feeling tighter after walking in them.
I'll probably buy another pair in a different style.

I love my shape-ups. I was worried they would be a little small because I heard they ran small but they are fine. Walking in them all day at work took a little getting used to but the are great!

I rarely have time to exercise. Between my two young children and work, it is difficult to find the time. I decided to purchase these shoes after hearing how wonderful they are. I wore them one time and I could feel the muscles in my legs working.

I am verrryy fussy about shoes: how they fit, support, comfort, etc. The new Skechers Shape Ups are fantastic. I don't need to wear my orthotics for added arch support, and they are comfortable and energizing. Felt a wee bit tight on first and second wear, but they now fit like a glove, true to my size nine foot. They look a bit odd at first, as they are high and make your foot appear shorter, so a bit boxy, but the absolute pleasure of walking in them makes me put them on even when I'm just goofing around the house. Very successful and energetic power walks in my new Shape Ups (very soon after purchase) have further excited me about my one and only Christmas gift to myself. Can't say enough good things about these shoes!

It's is a very comfortable sneaker once you get the hang of walking in them. I could see a difference in my legs, butt and abdomen at the end of 1 week. Great way to get some exercise in without even thinking about it.

I have a bum knee, from knee surgery, 15 years ago.I wear them 7-8 hours a day at work, where I'm on my feet(I work in a restaurant) These shoes have given me back the most pain free mobility I ever had since the surgery. I LOVE THEM. Everything they claim , is true. Buying another pair for the summer:)

These shoes are absolutely wonderful, the shoes are comfortable and keep feet warm although it is winter, I wear these shoes to work from 8:00 am until I go to bed at night at 11:00 pm and my feet never felt better.

I purchased these for walking, which I do 4 times a week for exercise. They were extremely comfortable the first time I put them on. I love the fact that they add to my workout and make me stand taller. But mostly, I love them because they are so cute on!

I have recently taken up walking. This shoe is wonderful. Takes a little bit use to getting use to--but feels so good on the foot. I never wear tennis shoes shopping or anything, but I did for Black Friday and my feet felt great at the end of 12 hours. I like Skechers because they are wide.Pretty true to size. A Friend told me about them, I am glad I tried them.

I wear these for work - 12 hour shifts. At first my buns and calves were burning - now (after three shifts) I'm great. My knees don't hurt the way they used to and I'm walking down long halls with some pep!
They add a couple of inches to your height, something to get used to! But it's an advantage for me :) You'll quickly learn 'how badly' you were walking before (I apparently walked on the balls of my feet!), and now it's a smooth heel-to-toe action. The shoes came with a video, but I haven't watched it yet. I know six other people with these shoes, and they ALL like/love them! And with free returns, you really can't lose!
great for hospital workers

This is a great shoe if you work in a hospital and do a lot of walking. Matter of fact, I am getting another pair for Christmas
from Santa parents (-;.

It takes a little time to get used to walking and balancing in them, but that's all part of the fun. You can walk for miles and never feel discomfort from pounding the pavement because there is so much foam between your foot and the floor. Design, function and quality all in one little shoe. Bravo Skechers! I love them so much I purchased a second pair!

Well I don't have a new body but I didn't really expect to. I do however feel the shoe doing some good work. Not too much and not too little. If it were too much I probably wouldn't put them back on, but I can feel some muscles I didn't before. I would recomend these shoes.
Won't wear anything else!!

I own two pairs and bought two pairs for my mother who suffers from a very bad back - we both love these shoes. They are very comfortable, feels like you're walking on little clouds and they really do work your leg muscles. I wear them around the house and also when I walk my dogs or do the grocery shopping. They are also great for standing for prolonged periods of time as your legs don't seem to get tired as quickly and your back stays relaxed. Love them!!!

These shoes are very comfortable, they feel a bit strange when you first put them on but you get used to them pretty quickly. They look like any other tennis shoe while your wearing them. My only complaint is that they are NOT true to size. I bought 1/2 size bigger than usual on the advice of a coworker and they are STILL too small. Your foot rocks forward and back while walking, if you don't have enough room you will have sore toes pretty quickly. Arch support is good after you get used to them, they don't allow you to stand flat footed so at first your foot my tilt in. Over all a great shoe.

These shoes are great. They are comfortable and can be worn for long periods at a time. I've gotten compliments on them. I recommend them 100%. I feel they fit true to size.
Like walking on a very supportive cloud.

These shoes are wonderful for walking. Very comfortable. When I wear these at work all day I am not too tired to take the dog for a walk when I get home! When you walk fast you will feel the burn in the back of your calves. Great great shoe.

I love these shoes. I walk 4 miles a day and these are comfortable throughout. What surprised me was how much I felt the muscles in my stomach working!
It is too soon to know if they will make an overall difference in my muscle tone, but so far, so good.
