I have wanted a pair of these for ages, but I was always put off by the look of these shoes, however I recently noticed that Sketchers make other types of footwear with this same technology. I purchased a pair of Sketchers shape up toning trainers for £45 from the Sketchers shop. I have also seen the same style on Amazon. The trainers I have look like normal trainers, they are a mixture of black leather and material. Rather than being lace ups they have stretch straps made from elastic so you can slide them on and off with ease. When I first looked at them they looked like ordinary trainers, however when you put them on they are built up in the insole which ...  Read the complete review

I received my pair of Skecher's Shape-Ups as a gift a few months ago as I'd been longing to try these, but the £70 price tag put me off. I have used FitFlops in the past, but found them to be uncomfortable and they didn't provide the sort of results that I had wanted. Nevertheless, when I was gifted my Shape- Ups I put them on in anticipation, as I had heard a number of good things about them. Firstly, the fit: I found the fit to be generous and the shoes are quite wide fitting. I would recommend trying them on before purchase, as if you have narrow feet they may be too large for you. They are also quite ugly and bulky, so not ideal for the ...  Read the complete review

I've been wanting a paif of Skechers shape ups for a long time, but could never really justify the £70 price tag to myself. However, when I last cashed out from Dooyoo, I decided I would put the money towards a pair as a bit of a treat. There are a range of different styles in the 'Shape Ups' range. However, knowing that I intended to wear them at work, my choice was pretty much limited to buying something in black. There were some rather nice quite girly looking shoe stlye ones, but they were even pricier, so I eventually opted for the 'Optimize' design, a sort of black velvety effect lace up trainer, with a tiny bit of grey and silver detailing, including ...  Read the complete review

Putting on just under 8 stone over 10 years something just had to be done! So the idea of walking but with a shoe that burns more calories and tones more than usual I just had to get a pair! I believe there's only two brands with these type of shoe and thats Sketchers shape ups and Reebok easy tone. When I saw the shape ups on a TV advert I really didn't like the look, I thought they were ugly and far too bulky. I was heading to the shops thinking I was coming back with the Reeboks, when I got there the sketchers were much more eye catching and so comfortable and only just seeing a ad on my facebook page with Kim Kardashian wearing them and they looked great I could not .  Read the complete review

I first put my Shape-Ups on in early May this year. I've barely taken them off, since. I can't say that I pay much attention to the shoes other people wear, but no matter where I go I'm always being stopped by people who ask me two questions: "Are those...those shoes?" "Yes" "Do they work?" My answer is always the same. They do, but that's not why I bought them. I have a back condition, lordosis. Since my early teenage years, walking for more than twenty minutes has been painful. After a week or so in Florida, I had more money spare than I'd expected, and the Skechers shop looked enticing. I went ...  Read the complete review
