Sketchers Shape-Ups? Worth it?

I have a pair. I thought I would magically lose 50 pounds when I put them on but still waiting for that!:rolleyes: I have lots of back issues and since wearing these I have not had as much pain probably because they make me stand up straighter, not sure. I will buy again just for that. Wish I could wear them to work, hadn't seen the mary jane ones mentioned, I'll have to look for them.
 
I just got a pair. A friend told me they were selling them at a shoe outlet in town and I had my mom go pick me up a pair. I won't be home to try them until tomorrow....I don't care for the way they look but they were only $21 :goodvibes

They make a Mary Jane style? I don't want to wear mine to work much since I try to dress up a bit. Mary Janes might fit the bill though. I'll have to search those out if I like the sneakers.
 

Here is a video from a local store that also has them on Sale.

I have a pair, I use them on the treadmill, and at the theme parks. I also wear leg braces, not on the treadmill, but out and about, and they fit nicely and are comfy in these shoes. I wish I could wear them to work!!!!
 
Well, if you are asking scientifically if they work, the answer is no. The way it does work if it gets you walking more, then you will tone up, but not because of the shoes. I know people who have had ankle sprains, knee pain and low back pain from them. And I know people who absolutely loves them. I tried a pair and didn't like them at all. I like really light running type shoes and it felt like i was walking on foam.
 
I have the reebok version and I love them. I have horrible lower back and knee pain and since wearing them both have stayed at bay. I feel like they definitely make me stand up straighter and they feel like I'm walking on air. I can wear them for hours and never feel like I HAVE to take them off ASAP. It doesn't even matter anymore to me that they aren't really toning shoes, I'm just happy that my pain is gone. So I would say that for me they were worth it!

I got my reebok ones for $70 at DSW using a coupon they sent me.
 
I have plantar facities and since I started wearing them no flare ups since. No butt like the commercial but the comfort is worth it. I have tried other brands but they are no where as comfortable. Ticket price is shocking though.

I have PF too.LOVE these sketchers!! I bought the flip flop ones.LOVE them too.
I can tell when I don't wear them.
 
I survived Disney by wearing my Shape-Ups. I am wearing them as I type this even! They are the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned.

I didn't get a single blister or any foot pain at Disney. This is absolutely unheard of for me since I do Disney commando style.

They are worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY.
 
I had to order mine on Kohls.com due to having smaller feet and (even though they advertised my size) them not having my size. I was a bit perturbed, but with our 30% off coupon and $30 of Kohl's cash from last week... we got them for about $38. NICE!!! I just hope I love them after all that trouble. :lovestruc

HA HA!!! I have got to use this quote if you don't mind. I also do Disney "COMMANDO" style :yay: and hope these shoes work out for me in October. :cool1:
 
I saw a pair at payless. They were something like 29.00 they looked exactly like the shape ups. I was thinking of trying those first.
 
Now even WalMart has followed along. There is now a version made by Dr Scholls and Danskin. A friend was saying that the Dr Scholls ones were comfy and I think $29 or $39 (not sure.)
 
I'm not sure if I'd try any other brand. I like the sketchers line up to begin with, but with the foot drop that I have, which is why i wear the braces, I can't have heavy shoes, and sketchers can be a bit on the heavy side, but the shape ups are just plain awesome. LOVE them!!! Even WITH my braces on!! Here's a picture of my braces.
