 Comfortable and true to size Jun 28, 2009
By V. Byrne
I've been a fan of the early MBT's and hoped something similar would come along without the steep price. I tried the Mary Jane MBTs, but they didn't fit well in the heels. These Skechers Shape Ups are cute and fit true to size. And for less than half the price, I still get that soft, cushiony stride, similar to the early MBT styles.
Funny... I've been wearing MBTs for so long that I'm no longer conscious of the back and forth instability of the curved soles. I let my sister try these on today. She's never worn any curved sole shoe before, and felt that same unsteadiness that new MBT wearers feel. So that rocking action is also very similar. Hope they keep making these.

 Cute shoes that really work your legs! Jul 12, 2009
By Jen
These shoes really give your legs a workout if you watch the video and walk in them as instructed. It's sort of a rolling type motion from the heel to the toe that takes a bit of getting used to, but once you get it, you can really feel the burn from the waist down. Plus, they are just really cute shoes and comfortable to stand in. I wore them around the house to break them in, and then went for a few short walks in them to get used to them. I have bad feet (flat arches) and am on my feet a lot during the day, so I'm always on the lookout for comfortable shoes. These definitely fit the bill and at this price, they are a bargain, especially compared to other shoes of this kind.

very comfortable Aug 31, 2009
By Jennifer Douglas
"love these shoes"
Bought this style 3 weeks ago and have been wearing it every day. They are stylish and very comfortable.
Feels like walking on a cushioned surface. Easy on my knee, great for my posture. Initially, I was hesitant in purchasing shoes with rocking motion since I have a bad equilibrium but I wore them for full day on second try. Now, I don't even notice rocking motion. I can really feel that my calves are getting a work out.
I can't wait until brown color is back in stock; an brown leather/suede identical in style as black one.
These dressy mary jane shape-ups goes with everything!
In anticipation of comfort, I ordered another style in taupe canvas but it is too casual and athletic looking for office.
I would recommend these mary jane shape-up to anyone looking for comfort and yet dressy enough for office wear.

These Shoes Changed My Life! Sep 19, 2009
By Tabitha Wright
"Another Book Nut"
I have 2 medical conditions that cause me severe abdominal and lower back pain. Walking has been very difficult for almost 10 years, and I had resorted to using an electric scooter to get around for many errands and day trips. I had looked at the MBTs , but couldn't afford to buy them, knowing that there was a good chance they would cause more pain, but when I saw the less expensive Skechers, I decided to try a pair of the ShapeUps tennis shoes. Within moments of putting them on, I was standing taller than I had in years, and also felt muscles working in my legs. After 2 weeks of wearing them according to the instructions, we took the kids to Disneyland. I used my scooter for less than 1/4 of the time! I STOOD in lines! I wasn't sore, and when I woke the next day, I wasn't in so much pain I had to stay in bed to recuperate. IT WAS A MIRACLE!
I have since bought 2 more pairs, including the Mary Janes, and have turned my Mom, husband and 2 daughters into users, as well. We're all just thrilled with the comfort and therapeutic aspects of these shoes. Well worth every penny, and so cute!
Watch the DVD, and pay attention to how you walk- it does take some getting used to until you learn the rhythm. But once you do, you'll feel the work-out aspect! Be prepared for some tender muscles at first... in a good way!
BTW- I have since tried the MBTs, and they feel identical, although more expensive. Not sure of the difference, but the Skechers definitely WORK!

Great work/every day shoe Feb 17, 2010
By fish
I don't know about the muscle exercise, the posture improvement, etc., but these are the most wonderful shoes when one is on one's feet a lot. At the end of a long day, my back doesn't hurt, nor do my feet ache. These are well worth the price!
