I just bought the mary jane shape ups by sketchers two weeks ago. I wear them for work as a massage therapist. I love them. People have been commenting that my legs look tone. They were worth the money. I am going to by the flip flops next.

I have them too and I love them i purchased them around jan. I only paid like $35 bucks because I had a gift card and then there was the 20%percent off..I wear them to work all the time so one week I will wear them 5 days a week and the other week I will wear them two days out of the week.I even wear them when I am on the treadmill. Honestly i don't like wearing any other sneakers anymore.Its a good investment.

I've had mine for almost 3 weeks now and i LOVE them. I wear them every wear. I have the strength ones and boy have i noticed a difference. they were def worth the 86 dollars that i spent on them !!!

Good to know. I don't know how I'll convince my husband it's worth spending such a lot of money on sneakers. He lost his job last October, and things are tight.

Maybe I'll get some money for my birthday, which is in June.

Thanks!

i love my shape ups. wear them nearly all the time.

I bought mine about three weeks ago I love them They are wonderful for walking they work your legs and butt but you dont feel the pounding when you walk or stand for long pertiods of time the best 100 dollars I spent

I wasn't much on the look of them but got the reebok runtones instead and they ROCK! great investment, good shoes will either make or break your workout- of course they're worth the money!

I have walmarts Danskins their version got them for x-mas my hubby says they are working the were $30.00.

I have two pairs of Nike Shox that I paid $100 each for ... so I guess anything new is going to wait.
Although ... flip flops eh????

What exactly do they do? How do they give you a better workout? I don't really understand that part.

hmmm,when I wear my sneakers only one of my leg really hurts and that ankle too??? Maybe I'm not doing it right?

I wanted to get some but $100 is a bit much for me right now. Can you get some cheaper?

I got mine too for my bday in March (Sketchers shape ups) and do really like them! Mousie, they are supposed to work like "balance" technology, where you are constantly using your stabilizer muscles to help you maintain your balance. Something about the shape of them. They are great on your knees and joints because of how the shock of your step is distributed, since you roll into the step. I find this aspect of them helpful and find I can walk at Disneyland for a long time without feeling so exhausted.
The only negative for me is that they feel super bulky. I'm not used to tennis shoes, i'm constantly wearing flats. So they feel like i'm wearing boxes on my feet and that I'm going to run into everything with my huge feet... but that's just me!

I am in the uk and have seen this advertised and been skeptical but i might just save for some now i have read all these testimonies. I am desperate to get in shape and will try anything.

After seeing all of these great testimonies i think i'm going to mention it to my wife as she's putting together a fit and wellness plan at work. As far as the money is concerned, it's tight for us too, but something like this is considerend an investment in better health.
