The design technology behind Shape Ups changes the way you walk.
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.
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.
Designed 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.
Barefoot walking simulation on soft ground
- The heel sinks comfortably into the soft ground as you step
- You naturally roll forward as your weight shifts to the center and your balance is centered
- Easily push off with your toe pads
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.
Get in the Routine
1. Kick Back: Stand upright and place feet parallel and hip distance apart, balance centered. Roll your weight onto the back of the soft foam heel – hold for a count of five and then back to the center. Do not lock knees or tip backward. Stretches calf and hamstrings. Repeat 5 to 10 times.
2. Rock and Roll: Stand upright and place feet parallel and hip distance apart, balance centered. Roll your weight forward so you are balancing on the underside of your toes – hold for a count of two, then slowly rock back to the soft heel – hold for a count of two, and then back to your center of balance. Do not lock knees or tip backward. Stretches calf and hamstrings, warms up Achilles and ankles. Repeat 5 to 10 times.
3. Roll and Rock and Roll: Follow the Rock and Roll stretch, but alternate feet so one is rolling to the toes and one is rocking back. Repeat 5 to 6 times.
4. The Lean: Place your hands on a wall, parallel and slightly above your head. With one leg in front of the other and your arms forward, press with your palms as if you were leaning on the wall. Keep your back leg straight and your front foot on the floor, then bend the front leg and lean forward by moving your hips toward the wall. Hold for a count of five, then repeat on the other side. Stretches calf and Achilles. Repeat 5 to 6 times.

Great Boots!!
I love these boots. You can look fashionable and be working out your legs at the same time.
Looks good and feels good
I have always loved lace-up boots, because they hug your leg for a great feel. Since these have a furry lining, the boots feel even better. The boots have a zipper, which I didn't even notice at first, which is a bonus for getting the boots on and off quickly.
I really enjoy feeling the muscles in my legs working and getting a workout just walking around, without getting out of breath (unless I do the workout enclosed on a DVD). It's a great way to get/stay in shape during the cold weather.

haven't actually worn them yet
These are a Christmas present for me. I did try them on, just to make sure they fit. I had read that their fit is larger than the tennis shoes. This is TRUE. I order 1/2 to 1 size larger on the Metabolize tennis shoes, but ordered my true size for these. When trying them on with socks, they fit well, not tight at all. I have wide-ish feet, but had no toe-pinch with these. Can't wait to wear them. I recommend ordering your true size on these.
Not as good as I expected
I am an MBT owner, loved them,I wanted higher boots for winter, but MBT boots are too expensive for me. Then I saw these shape-ups, thought they'd be similar, but I am really disappointed: 1. the support is not there, feel like a pair of flats in comparison with MBT. 2. the laces and the zipper, plus the Velcro tab above the zipper are just so messy, I guess if adjusted properly, they would make the boots perfect fit, but it's just not as comfy, cute and clean-cut as my Bass boots with zippers, which feel almost the same, but only cost me $35 when on sale. Final verdict: not up to the hypes of the shape-ups. I'd rather invest the money on another pair of MBTs.
