I purchased Skechers Shape Ups to help with a recent knee injury. Because of the comfortableness I have since purchased two more pairs. These are the most comfortable shoes I've worn to date and, at 57 years old, I've worn a lot of shoes. They're a bit hard to adjust to at first but after an hour or two you truly feel as if you're walking on firm sand. I workout on a regular basis so I can't gauge the toning aspect but can tell you that my rock climbing has improved as has my balance. I would recommend this shoe to anyone who enjoys the feeling of comfort.Best Deals on Skechers for Work Men's Shape Ups XW Athletic Shoe
I bought these shoes for waitressing on the recommendation of a retail worker who raved. When I first wore them, I was in heaven. My feet and back, which previously bothered me after six hour shifts, felt great. The shoes feel very cushioned. The non-slip sole was very good. I did notice that my ankles felt slightly unstable in the shoes, however, I knew that was one of the theories behind the "Shape Up" shoes, that the instability helps you engage your core muscles, sort of like walking on a balance ball.Unfortunately, after about 3 months, I developed rather excruciating heel pain, which progressed rather steadily over the next few weeks. I discovered I had acute retrocalcaneal bursitis, which (according to the doctor) develops in some who wear these shoes because of the instability and the unique walking motion.
Sadly, I have had to stop wearing the sketchers. I made one change and to see if my problem resolved (because I didn't believe that it was the shoes!). After I changed work shoes again, my heel pain went away. I do agree that initially, they made my feet feel great over the work shift, but the heel pain eventually hobbled me. These just aren't for everyone. The irregular gait they create can really irritate certain feet!
Honest reviews on Skechers for Work Men's Shape Ups XW Athletic Shoe
I have a pair of Skechers "walking" shoes and ordered the same size "working" shoes. When it arrived, I was surprised to find that it was about a full size smaller. The bad thing is, Amazon would not exchange it and I had to pay for the return shipping because this (size difference) is not their fault. I understand, but isn't this the manufacturer's fault and why do I have to pay the penalty?Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Skechers for Work Men's Shape Ups XW Athletic Shoe
I am in nursing school and saw a lot of nurses wearing these, so I thought I would give them a try. I really love how comfortable they are! You can definitely feel different muscle work-outs while you wear them and you do have to walk kind of funny, which sucks. I noticed that when I tried to stand on my toes, to look up high or something, I can't really do it because of the way the shoe fits and works my muscle. I really like the extra cushion, however, to protect my foot from the hard, cement ground.I know a lot of people have been into the flatter shoes, thinking they are more natural: but here's the thing walking on man-made concrete and tile floors is not natural! Barefoot-like shoes may work well on natural surfaces like grass and dirt, but not artificial flooring. I love the Shape-ups for the added cushion so my foot doesn't ache from being pounded onto the hard, artificial flooring all day. I have noticed that after about 6 weeks of wearing them, I feel that my feet are starting to hurt a little more like they are wearing down (but then again, every shoe will wear out). Overall, these shoes are pretty good if you work on hard, flat flooring. I wouldn't wear them for much else they seem to unstable for hiking or running or something.
Oh yeah... and they are ugly :( I'm not really a fan of most Sketcher's designs, anyway and these just get worse with the clonky ugly heel. For work, however, they feel much better on my feet than more attractive shoes I have worn.
