What fun shoes! Jul 29, 2010
I just got these last week and I really like them! I already own a pair of black and white Shape Up sneakers that I use on walks and I really liked them. I had noticed an improvement in my posture the first time I even tried them on, and walking in them was very comfortable (just a little heel rubbing at first). Since I'm on my feet all day as a teacher, I wanted some Shape Ups I could wear to work, which is why I got these Physical Mary Janes (in brown). So cute!!! From the top, they look like normal shoes. Very fashionable. They are quite comfortable except they are a little tight where they go over my big toe "knuckle." I presume that is a defect in my foot and not the shoe! (Though that is why I only gave four stars.) They are loosening up a bit though and are fine. I feel so much more support when I wear them. Really fun shoes...expensive, but I tend to think that it is important to have good quality footwear, especially if you are on your feet all day. With regard to whether they are good for exercise, well... I did feel SOME workout with the sneakers and maybe with the Mary Janes, but I wouldn't say it replaces working out. Of course, you are supposed to walk in a very certain way (comes with a DVD to show you). If I walk the way they instruct, I feel more burn. Bottom line is that I got them for posture and comfort and they work well for that.
 LOVE MY SHAPE-UPS!!!! May 04, 2010
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Shape-Ups! I own two pair; Mary Jane's for work, tennis shoes for all other time. Lost 2 dress sizes and all I did was add the shoes into the mix. VERY comfortable, run true to size. Just wish the Tone-Ups came in 1/2 sizes and I would own them too! I can't say enough good things about them, I have been responsible for 10 of my friends and family getting them also....no negative reports. I even bought a pair for my 11 year old daughter, expensive, but worth every penny.
Painful straps, cute video, cute shoes, I feel the burn! Apr 23, 2010
I have only had these for 2 days so far.
I really wanted a pair of shape ups. I just didn't want to spend 100 dollars on funny looking sneakers. I found this and thought they were so cute. Unfortunately no store around me had them in my size, I'm a 7. In stores I tried on the 6.5 a big too snug and the 7.5 was tremendous. I tried on the 7 in the regular sneakers and other version of the Mary Janes and they fit so I figured they would work. I ordered them directly from Shoes dot com instead of through Amazon.
I want to point out that although these are cute I don't think they are that comfortable to do the work out video in because of the straps. The platform and the inside of the shoe are very comfortable but when you do those ankle rolls and other movements the straps really pushed down on the bones in my foot.
Doing the video is great because they reminded me of stretches that really work and you don't feel so much tightness after working out in these.
Just walking from my car to the building I work in really cramped up my calves today! Yesterday when I used the video I didn't cramp up but I think that's because the video has great stretches.
My grandmother (who is about 67 yrs old, still young) loves these and wears them everywhere. I will probably just wear them to work and for walks.
I'd recommend these to people who have shape ups and are looking for something a little dressier to wear to work because I don't think you can really do all the movements in them that you do in shape ups, like I said the straps aren't completely comfortable but it's what makes them cuter than the other Mary Janes.
I'm not going to buy another pair of shape ups (yet) and I don't own another pair. I am still going to use these for walks but it's hard to do some of the work outs in the video they recommend.
I think they are really cute but I do have an odd taste of fashion (I wear tuxedo t-shirts and skeleton sweatshirts and I'm just odd) my dad laughed at them. I'm still wearing them and so far no one has given me dirty looks about them. My mom thinks they are cute!
Dressy yet casual! Apr 20, 2010
This is the 2nd pair of shape-ups that I've gotten. I got this shoe because of the obvious: it's suppose to tone up your lower body and help with your posture. I do notice the workout in my legs and bottom everyday that I wear them. I have chronic lower back problems and wearing these takes a HUGE amount of pressure off my lower back. I love them! They are very cute and stylish but slightly less comfy than their "sleek fitness walking shoe."

 No Velcro Ever Again Apr 13, 2010
The velcro on these shoes does not hold. My co-worker also purchased the same pair and had to have a shoe repairman put snaps on. I will never buy a velcro close shoe again. I am ready to donate mine to Goodwill.
