As most of you probably know, I am crazy about shoes. I can’t have enough and I tend to fall too quickly in love with too many pairs of shoes. Because I am so short I have a tendency to lean towards shoes with a high heel but I also think it is important to have at least one pair of shoes that is comfortable and good for your feet. So I now thought it was about time to share my experience with Skechers Shape Ups Fitness shoes.
What is so special about Shape Ups is the elevated sole. Walking on the wedge ‘rocker bottoms’ takes some getting used to, but apparently that is where the magic of the shoes happens. These are the types of shoes that claim to promote weight loss, tone your muscles, reduce stress on knees, hips and backs and improve your posture.

I bought these shoes when I was in Los Angeles last summer, they are cheaper in the US than here in Norway and I simply could not miss the opportunity. I do not regret buying them. They are extremely comfortable to wear and because of their shape I actually do feel that they have improved my posture.
There are several different styles when it comes to Shape Ups. Personally I find some of the styles to not be the most fashion-forward looking shoes and I think it is because I find the wedge to be a little too much. But when I saw the fitness style I fell in love. They don’t really look like the typical Shape Ups but definitely have that feeling when walking in them.
I have nothing but nice words to say about these shoes. They are fantastic. They are perfect to wear when taking walks and I would say that they keep most of their promises. I honestly don’t know if they help someone to loose weight as I believe it takes more than a good pair of shoes to loose that, but I do find that they have helped my posture and that they reduce stress on my knees. So if you are looking for the perfect shoe that is comfortable and does something good for you, then I would recommend Skechers Shape Ups.

Thanks for the review. I'd seen their ads and wondered how they'd feel to a real person. You answer that!

I've heard of these shoes and I know they work similar to Fit Flops. I think they're meant to tone the body, more than actually promote weight loss (you need proper exercise for that), but it's an interesting concept!
ReplyDeleteI like these, though I'm not a trainers type of las. I live in ballet pumps and have a pair in pretty much every colour. I have a pair of fit flops which are said to do all those good things too - toning etc. They're comfy too. But I might take a look at these Sketchers. Just wanted to say a big thank you for your kind words regarding my Delivery story on my blog. Shah. X

ReplyDeletewow, amazing! would it really shape up ? if it's true then for once, i will save for the Sketchers even though everybody (almost) in the gym are wearing Nikes! This is a good review and keep doing it=) P.s.Im your 24th voter about Lara in the Egypt article...great job!Congratulations for being picked!
ReplyDeleteThese look great -- with living by the beach, I'm totally up for working out a lot more and perhaps these shoes would be the perfect motivation! :)

I have a lot of more "casual" skechers, not exercise ones, and I love love love every pair! They are so cute and comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of getting a pair... I defiantly should! The fitness ones are pretty nice compared :)
