 Comfortable shoes--REALLY |

| The short version is these shoes are better than adverised. The long story is that I have been cursed with extremely high arches. As a result, my feet have given me a lot of pain over the years, and as I age, they only get worse. I have spent a fortune on podiatrists, othopedists and an array of orthotics. I have been willing to try almost anything in order to find shoes I can walk in comfortably so have been on a constant search for any new shoe design that might offer some relief. I read the information on the Sketcher Shape Up shoes, and although they provide physical fitness benefits, I was focused on the design of the sole. The claims of an extremely comfortable and soft shoe bed were enough to get my attention. When I saw them on Amazon.com for about what I usually spend for walking shoes I bought them right away. They have delivered in spades, and I have worn them almost constantly since they arrived. And that is saying something for a real hillbilly. I would recommend them to anyone with sore feet--they are truly like walking on air. The fitness benefits are a welcome additional feature of these shoes. Do your feet a favor--buy them a pair of these--they'll love you forever!

| I bought the $300 plus mbts in a sport store and returned them 3 days
later.I liked the design but simply couldn't adjust to the shoe.After an hour they hurt.I tried for 3 days inside gradually increasing the time but my feet just hurt more. When I saw an ad in a magazine I thought I'd try these. Instatly comfortable-wore them for 8 hours the first day.I'm sure theres lots of people that like the other brand but I do think they're overpriced. However if those shoes felt like these I would have kept them.So luckey me I'll be buying these in another color soon.THANKS AMAZON !! |

| I researched these shoes a fair bit and decided to purchase them. I am a bit flat footed and I have always struggled to find comfortable shoes. I usually take a size 9.5 but I found the size 10 fits perfectly for me. The shoes are very well made and seem really durable. From the moment I put on the shoes I felt instant comfort, and I didn't really want to take them off! They cushion and support the foot very well and even with the thicker heel it does not feel 'tippy' where you could tip your ankle to the side..just very solid. The physical benefits of the shoes are a great bonus but for me the absolute comfort makes them worth money well spent..wearing them have really inspired me to do alot more walking..my previous footwear was somewhat comfortable but after walking for a lengthy distance left my feet sore but I have not found that at all wearing the Shape Up's. I highly recommend them, I am really thrilled with these shoes and the comfort they give me! |

| I was a bit skeptical when I read the ad for Sketchers Shape-Ups (see ad above). It seemed like a lot to ask of a lowly shoe. But I was hoping it would work, so I purchased a pair. Walked all over the mall, upstairs and down. Walked around my apartment complex when I got home and noticed that stretchy feeling in the back of my thighs. Went to bed that night and woke up around 1am. Boy, my backside was burning. I am a licensed massage therapist and my first thought was "I need a massage!" I could feel the burn all through the glutes and hamstrings. Those shoes had definitely provided an effortless workout. My only complaint is they do not come in wide width. I purchased another pair later in a men's size and they are perfect. They perform as advertised! Well worth 100 bucks. |

| I want to hug the living heck out of the genius who perfected this technology. I've had my eye on the "Fit Flops" that I would see in the Victoria's Secret catalog for a while and wondered if they did what they claimed to do, but there was no way I'd ever spend $60 on a pair of flip flops...Not even if they were MAGIC flip flops.
I decided to finally buy these Sketchers on Cyber-Monday because Amazon was discounting these shoes by $25 and because sketchers have always treated me well comfort-wise. Well, I just took them out on their maiden-voyage to the gym and I could hardly believe what I was experiencing! I am a 30-yr old woman with arthritis, a knee that doesn't track properly, and fibromyalgia up the yin yang, due to having been hit by a car as a pedestrian 9 yrs ago. I can't even walk slow on the treadmill without my knee getting all out of whack. So, all I can really do for exercise on the daily is the eliptical machine, swimming and yoga, which I admit is tough for me to motivate myself to do (and all of you with fibromyalgia know what I mean!) I'm telling you, my abs were on freakin fire! Anyone with arthritis or any other joint-issues MUST get this shoe. It does what it claims to so and then some! When I'm standing still, it feels like all my weight is off my heels and balls of my feet and concentrated in the middle of the arch, which happens to be full of cushy foam and air. You don't have to try and do anything different, your body will adjust immediately and your core can't help but engage. Much better than those crazy disgusting electrocution belts, but just as effortless. I seriously believe that these shoes will change my life! Like I said, anyone with a joint condition will appreciate these shoes more than people without any chronic pain could possibly understand. The only thing that confuses me is the differences among the different styles. I happened to get the "Optimize" just because it seems best to be optimal. I couldn't find any info on this issue, so it's a good thing I love my super-optimal shoes! |
