Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Make the most of your walking work-out with the Skechers Shape Ups. With Shape Ups, you can change your life and your fitness without setting foot in a gym. Shape Ups are not like other athletic shoes. This is a new way to walk and exercise.



 



Shape Ups are designed to:

  • Promote weight loss.
  • Strengthen the back.
  • Firm calf and buttock muscles.
  • Reduce celluite and tone your thighs.
  • Increase cardiovascular health.
  • Improve posture.
  • Reduce stress on knee and ankle joints.

How it works
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.

Due to this unconventional matter of walking, we suggest that 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 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.

Shape up while you stand

Conventional footwear does not provide proper support or aide in correct posture for long periods of standing. With Shape Ups, the simulation of soft ground will ease the stress on your joints, promote correct posture, and strengthen selected muscles as you naturally work to keep your centre of balance.

To properly stand in your Shape Ups, stand upright and find your center of balance with your feet parallel and hip-distance apart.

Shape up while you walk
To walk correctly in Shape Ups, step forward with the middle section of your heel hitting the ground first. This should give you the feeling of walking on soft ground. Roll forward onto the ball of your food and then the flat part of your toes.

Your stance should not be as wide as you walk. Your front foot should still be under your body, giving you a natural and comfortable step. This rhythmic and easy gait will help you maintain your balance. For maximum benefit, strike heel first. Then roll forward.

Get in the routine

As you walk in Shape Ups, be aware of the position of your shoes and ankles. Your ankles should not roll or bend inward, but remain parallel.

The position of your back and neck should be straight. Do not look down; look ahead to where you are going. This will keep your posture straight, resulting in tightening of your back and stomach muscles, and the lengthening of your body into a leaner line.

Exaggerated movements are part of some walking routines (such as knee raises), but with Shape Ups, your movements should be fluid and smooth.

While a natural pace is best for everyday walking, we suggest you switch up your gait -- slowing down to focus on your steps, or kicking it up a notch to get your blood flowing.

 

Start your session

5.0 out of 5 stars Now I love them!, 14 July 2010
By Paulina "Pali" (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Skechers Women's Shape Ups Jump-Start Trainer (Apparel)
When I first heard about these shoes I was a bit reluctant about them. The first thing that came to my mind where those "solve all your problems" kind of things they sell on TV shows... all expensive artifacts that will do your life easier but cost a lot of money and do never really work as they say.
But then I started reading loads of reviews about them and each one greater than the other. I even read in an international review of a doctor recommending them, but clearing up that this would not work properly on everybody and that they should not be used by people with problems or malformations in toes, knees, legs or hips, because it could increase their problems, the same thing for people with severe back problems. Also, I read another specialist review telling that these shoes would only work if you use them regularly (30 or 45 min. a day, at least 3 or 4 days a week) for a few months.
So then I thought it is not magic, it does not work for every people in this planet and you have to be constant to get somewere with them, no free and easy instant solution... so probably they actualy work!
With this in mind I decided to give them a try and I bought this model a month ago. I put them on the minute they arrive and have been using them as regular shoes ever since. It does say on the "manual" that you should wear them for just a few minutes at first, but I usually walk for 2 or more hours a day, so after half an hour the first day I was fine and decided to give it a go and even though I felt my muscles working I did not get sore at any point. So what can I say? They worked perfectly, my posture has improved a lot, I can feel my legs and buttock much more firm than before and the best part I have loosen some weight already.
In summary... these shoes are a great alternative for people like me that loves to walk but do not want to do extra exercise. And the best part is that they are very confortable and fashionable (loads of models to choose). Now hands on pockets and go for them! they really are worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Muy comodas, 23 April 2010
By R. Gomez "Edurne" (Bilbao, Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Pues reconozco que se han convertido en las playeras mas comodas que poseo, aunque todo lo que dicen de tonificar músculos y adelgazar... no me lo creía y sigo sin creerlo, pero bueno, no las compré por eso, sino por tener unas playeras buenas y cómodas: prueba conseguida. Estoy muy contenta.
