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.

SKECHERS Shape Ups

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
Due to this unconventional manner of walking, we suggest you moderate your walking routine in Shape Ups for the first week or two (25 to 45 minutes per day), depending on your level of fitness. As you continue to wear your Shape Ups, your body will adjust to this new method of walking. You will find it easy and comfortable while still enjoying the strengthening and cardiovascular benefits.

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.

     "Great shoes throughout my pregnancy" 2010-09-09
    By C. D'Lauro (Philadelphia, PA)
    I've worn these sneakers thoughout my whole pregnancy and I'm now in week 36 and haven't had any back pain at all. Walking has been my exercise throughout my pregnancy and between walking with friends and walking my dog every day (usually twice a day) I do a lot of walking in these shoes. I would recommend them to pregnant women or anyone who's prone to lower back pain.

     "Great Comfort!" 2010-08-31
    By technologically incompetent (Hampton, VA)
    I've been wearing the Sketcher Shape-ups for about 4 months now, and I love them. They're like walking on soft cushions. I've also had problems with plantar fasciitis, and the cushioning and support are perfect. Although they seem to slow my walking pace some, I feel like I'm working harder to get there, and I definitely feel the difference, especially in my calves and shins. I also tend to pronate, and these shoes do make it easier to do so, but I figured that they were designed to make you work to achieve balance in an effort to strengthen core muscles. It seems to work for me at least! I'll definitely buy the shape-ups again.

     "Fantastic shoes that actually encourage me to get up and get out of the house!" 2010-08-22
    By TortillaCorn (Massachusetts, USA)
    I've been toying with the idea of MBTs for a few years now but could never swallow the price point. After seeing commercials for Shape Ups, I recognized that these would be a much more viable purchase for a lot of people and took the "wait and see" approach to determine if they were something that garnered positive reviews. After stepping on the scale a couple of months ago, I decided I had waited long enough and bought my first pair here on Amazon.

    I absolutely LOVE them! They have done an impressive job of toning my calves and reducing extra weight in my hips and thighs so that (in combination with a sensible diet) I have lost 11 lbs in 6 weeks. I am a chronic high heel wearing woman and it is a treat to put my feet in something that provides such good support. More than anything, they motivate me to put them on and go for a walk, because they are supremely comfortable. I walk from home to work and back again every week day and take 3-4 mile walks on weekends because I enjoy them so much. They do garner a curious look or two (and my late twenty-something friends mock me for my "granny" shoes) but they are sporty and fun to me! In fact, I am writing this review today as I am about to purchase a second Mary Jane style pair to mix it up a bit.

    A few things to note: from my pair one shoe seems to be more "firm" than the other, not sure if this is a manufacturing issue but it wasn't impactful enough to warrant me sending them back. The laces are also the sort that tend to loosen easily so if you're looking for a tighter tie I recommend replacing them with something a little stronger (mine came with 2 sets but both are too slippery to stay in place). I started out wearing them for about 30 minutes a day the first week and smoothly transitioned to longer wear without discomfort. I wear either an 8 or an 8.5 in most shoes and got the 8.5 in these and they fit well. In addition to walking I also use them on the stair machine and the elliptical but I stop short of using them for a run as the heel-to-toe stride with these would make it easy to trip and hurt yourself.

     "Not the best..." 2010-07-13
    By Stephanie Schulthies
    These shoes are very over priced and not very durable. If your a tall girl like me at 5'11 the last thing you want is to add another 2-3 inches... If anyone is interested in these shoes because they have a knee injury or have to stand a lot at work I recomend buying a pair of reasonable priced shoes and then putting doctor sholls inserts in them like I ended up doing. Oh and don't even consider running in these shoes you will brake your neck
