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.
- Upper: Superior quality, well padded uppers of durable leather and breathable mesh designed to provide needed support and supreme comfort.
- Sockliner: Soft EVA insole designed to protect the foot.
- Midsole: Firm polyurethane frame designed to support and stabilize the foot.
- Kinetic Wedge: Super soft foam designed for maximum
shock absorption to protect the body while exercising core muscles.
- Outsole: Long-lasting rubber outsole designed to contribute to
biomechanical motion vital to a natural walking state by propelling the wearer into their next step.
Amazon.com Product Description
Jump Start your fitness program with this sneaker from Skechers, designed to turn every walk into a workout. The curved bottom makes your muscles work to establish posture and balance, and the result is increased strength and tone in your thighs, calves, glutes, back muscles, and abs. This shoe is amazingly comfortable, with a springy and cushiony feel, and once you get used to the slightly off-balance sensation, you're certain to enjoy the ride—especially when you know that you're shaping up with every step. A detailed exercise guide is included with every pair. Skechers does not recommend this shoe for running.

Customer Reviews
Love these shoes
I love the workout I get with these shoes. They are not, as another reviewer posted, regular sneakers. They have the rounded sole and in order to get the most from your workout, you must watch the DVD that comes with the shoes which explains how to step in order to maximize your workout. It's a rolling motion from heel to toe and if you follow the directions, you will notice a huge difference in your workout. Powerwalking takes on whole new meaning in these shoes!
Excellent
The vendor was excellent about the time I recieved the product. It came unexpectantly early. I love the shoes! I work as a nurse and I am on my feet 12 hours a day. When I wear other shoes I can feel the difference. I do recommend this product highly.
Make sure you order the same size you normally wear!
I searched online for several days,read all the reviews on all the different sites,I WISH I would have ordered an 8.5 as I typically wear.I ordered a 9 as suggested by other users,the shoes are sized correctly and are too big.Very disappointed,after checking the mail for 5-6 days like a 2 y/o,I was upset.I can send them back but I have to wait for a refund and go through the ordering process again.This design is adorable,I like that they sent 2 different colored laces yellow and white with the shoes.
