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 Great buy!, 19 Aug 2009
By A. Shea "midgie" (scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Skechers Women's Shape-Ups Sleek Fit Trainer (Apparel)
Although the description calls them 'Trim Step', these shoes are the 'Sleek Fit' style as shown in the photos. They are the real thing, and I couldn't find them cheaper anywhere online. They are extremely comfy, look great, and when they're on you can feel your leg muscles being used in a way you don't with regular shoes. Like them so much I'm going to buy another pair of Shape Ups in a different style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab Shoes!, 4 Sep 2009
By Tina "Tina" (Berkshire UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Skechers Women's Shape-Ups Sleek Fit Trainer (Apparel)
I wanted to wait a few weeks to review these shoes and I now have worn them a while and can honestly say I love these shoes! I can definitely feel muscles in my legs and bum working just walking my kids to and from school. I plan to do longer walks and see what kind of results I get. My posture is better when I wear these shoes. I think they are really smart looking. I will be putting the Skechers Shape Ups Trainers on my wish list for Christmas and would love to try the sandals for next summer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sketchers shape ups - great, 17 Sep 2009
By Miss F (Scotland) - See all my reviews
These are possibly the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. They do look a bit funny but as they are all black I don't think they are too bad. You do feel the muscles in your legs and bottom a bit sore when you wear them at first but I think that's a good sign, they must be doing something. They force you to walk slightly differently which can feel strange at first but now I find it funny to walk in normal flat shoes. I think that you would need to really walk a lot more than you normally would to see any effects, but there are studies to back their claims up which encouraged me to buy them and the fact that they are so comfy might make you want to walk more. I gave them 5 stars for comfort, looks and the fact that I can feel them work my muscles.
