"I love my Skechers Shape Up shoes! I can definitely feel muscles in my legs and bum working and my posture is better. I think they are really smart looking too!"
Tina, Berkshire UK


"I wear them to work 5 days a week, walking on average for 1 hour each day. Money well spent. I have even cancelled my gym membership! Highly recommended."
Julie, UK


"After performing a six week clinical trial testing the benefits of SKECHERS Shape-ups, I am confident in recommending them to the patients to increase their low back endurance and improve gluteal strength. Patients also benefited from weight loss and improved body composition."
Dr. Steve Gautreau, California


"These shoes are definitely comfortable on the feet. I've been wearing them to and from work for 3 days, I am aware that I stand taller as they promote a healthier posture. They do make your calf muscles ache, but I'm hoping that there really is "no pain, no gain." The colour and design is also more feminine than others I have seen, as they are chunky and could be quite unflattering. But I'm happy so far."
Janice, North London


"I've already got a pair of Metabolize shape ups and after three months feel like they've made a difference. As my only pair of trainers they've enhanced, I wear them 40 hours a week at work and for running and they've made a great difference to muscle tone. Can't wait for the Fitness junkie to come out because they look more sport, and it would be worth having two pairs on the go"
Sarah, Wolverhampton


"These are the comfiest shoes I've ever worn. I have a bad back and they take so much pressure off my spine, and I can really feel them working my buttocks and calves as I walk. They've noticably improved my posture too."
Kelly Johnson

How Do Skechers Shape Ups Work?

Skechers Shape Ups help to tone and strengthen the legs, buttocks, back and core muscles by mimicking the effects of barefoot walking.

Due to the rapid urbanisation of our environment, we no longer walk in the way that nature intended; which is in bare feet on soft, uneven surface. This is why we all wear cushioned shoes to protect our feet (and joints) from the impact of walking on hard surfaces like tarmac roads and concrete pavements.

Walking on these hard surfaces can place stress on our joints and lower back. As a result, people who are required to stand for long periods during their jobs feel this impact on their bodies the most, but do not gain the benefits from all that activity because their feet aren’t being used properly.

Because we have become accustomed to walking on these hard surfaces, this also means that the way in which we walk has changed. But Skechers Shape Ups are designed to bring the way we walk back to nature, by providing the soft surface needed to work the foot effectively while offering all the comfort and cushioning we need for walking around town.

They do this by combining a soft foam insole, dynamic rolling bottom and a dual density midsole. The soft foam insole allows the heel to sink into the shoe as you step, in the same way as walking on soft sand. The dynamic rolling bottom aids the foot in rolling from the heel and on to the forefoot, before pushing off with the toes. Meanwhile, the dual density midsole provides comfortable cushioning to protect your feet and joints from hard surfaces.

What are the Benefits of Wearing Skechers Shape Ups?

By simulating the effects of walking barefoot on soft, uneven ground, Shape Ups utilise the muscles in your legs, buttocks, back and stomach to maintain balance and control, which will result in improved posture, stronger muscles and a slender, more toned physique.

To prove the benefits of wearing Skechers Shape Ups regularly, Skechers commissioned an independent clinical case study.

10 women were tested during a 6 week trial of wearing Shape Ups for a few hours a day and the results were remarkable!

During the course of the study, the participants saw an average weight loss of 3.25 pounds, increased glutei strength of 41% and an increased lower back strength of 37% on average. All participants noticed the physical changes and also reported an improvement in their posture. In his findings Dr Steven Gautreau D.C. hypothesised that had the trial continued, all of the participants would have enjoyed further physical benefits from wearing Skechers Shape Ups.

Wearing Skechers Shape Ups Safely

Wearing Skechers Shape Ups regularly will help to strengthen your heart, help your lungs work more effectively and increase your stamina. As a weight bearing exercise, walking also helps to strengthen your bones and muscles, while maintaining joint flexibility.

However, due to the unconventional manner of walking promoted by Shape Ups, Skechers suggest moderating your walking routine for the first week or two (25 to 45 minutes per day), depending on your level of fitness.

The women taking part in the clinical case study were advised to only wear Skechers Shape Ups Toners for 25 minutes a day to allow their bodies to adjust to the demand. They were later advised to work up to wearing their shoes during their normal daily activities in work and at home.

As you become more accustomed to walking in this manner, you’ll become more comfortable as you enjoy the strengthening and cardiovascular benefits of wearing Skechers Shape Ups.
