Used properly, Shape Ups change the way you approach your daily activities. Used regularly, Shape Ups will enhance the way you feel and look; muscles get toned, calories are burned and your posture improves. Shape Ups are designed to:
Three Reasons You Need Shape Ups: 1. Stronger You 2. Healthier You 3. Easy Exercise Routine Three Reasons You Want Them: 1. In Style 2. Portable Power 3. A Brand You Trust |
The design technology behind Shape Ups changes the way you walk.
As we move through our lives, we typically walk on hard surfaces, which places stress on our knee joints and lower back. People who are required to stand for their jobs feel the impact on their bodies the most, and don’t gain the benefits that come with all that activity.
The goal with Shape Ups was to simulate walking on soft ground. SKECHERS has turned hard surfaces into comfortable ground through revolutionary technology designed into the framework of the shoe. The core of this technology is in the dynamic rolling bottom, the soft foam insert under the heel, and the dual-density midsole. These three elements work together to give you the feeling of walking on sand or luxurious pile carpet–regardless of the actual surface. Walking on softer, uneven surfaces forces you to engage muscles not normally used when walking on hard ground. Not only does this strengthen your muscles, but it also increases blood flow and reduces the impact on your joints and lower back.
Designed to improve your life by changing the way you walk, Shape Ups feature a unique soft kinetic wedge insert and dynamic rolling bottom to simulate walking barefoot on a giving surface that gives such as sand. With the comfort of Shape Ups, you will feel your heel sink to the ground as you step, roll forward as your weight shifts to its center, and push off with your toes. This movement will result in stronger leg, buttock, back and abdominal muscles as you stabilize your steps.
Barefoot walking simulation on soft ground
-
The heel sinks comfortably into the soft ground as you step
-
You naturally roll forward as your weight shifts to the center and your balance is centered
-
Easily push off with your toe pads
Get in the Routine
1. Kick Back: Stand upright and place feet parallel and hip distance apart, balance centered. Roll your weight onto the back of the soft foam heel – hold for a count of five and then back to the center. Do not lock knees or tip backward. Stretches calf and hamstrings. Repeat 5 to 10 times.
2. Rock and Roll: Stand upright and place feet parallel and hip distance apart, balance centered. Roll your weight forward so you are balancing on the underside of your toes – hold for a count of two, then slowly rock back to the soft heel – hold for a count of two, and then back to your center of balance. Do not lock knees or tip backward. Stretches calf and hamstrings, warms up Achilles and ankles. Repeat 5 to 10 times.
3. Roll and Rock and Roll: Follow the Rock and Roll stretch, but alternate feet so one is rolling to the toes and one is rocking back. Repeat 5 to 6 times.
4. The Lean: Place your hands on a wall, parallel and slightly above your head. With one leg in front of the other and your arms forward, press with your palms as if you were leaning on the wall. Keep your back leg straight and your front foot on the floor, then bend the front leg and lean forward by moving your hips toward the wall. Hold for a count of five, then repeat on the other side. Stretches calf and Achilles. Repeat 5 to 6 times.

All I can say is that I loved these sandals (don’t know why this particular pair is called a ’sneaker’). They are comfortable, cushiony and just plain great. I am grateful that I decided to wait before purchasing an expensive pair of MBT because I trust Skechers and am completely sold on their Shape Up series. My heel spurs are basically healed and I do not experience the pain I did in the past. Hope they come out with even more styles.

I was skeptical a bit, but my daughter had a sneaker, loved hers, so I decided with great difficulty between a regular one and this selection, I wanted it to go with everything, got the chocolate, awesome color! I went with my regular size 6 1/2. It was perfect! They feel like marshmellows, they are the ultimate..I’m 55, so comfort is everthing to me. If your on the fence about these, don’t be, you’ll be glad you got them!

I just love this sandals! It is a comfy sandal and it helps me get a great work out when I mall walk. I can feel it in my calves. At first I didn’t feel it in my back and thighs but afterwards I did feel it. I hate tennis shoes because I feel that my feet can’t breathe and I don ‘t like shoes with ties so I was excited that they came out with a sandal. The only thing that I don’t like about these are the sizing. A 7 is not long enough but 7.5 is a little big and slips in the back when I walk but I wouldn’t trade these shoes for anything else.

I am a nurse and own MBT’s which I love but I wanted to try the Skechers. I got these and they are quite comfy. The only thing is they slip on the heel but it did not take away from the comfort factor for a 12 hour shift on the floor. Sizing was very good. SB
