Why wear them
Skechers Shape Ups are designed to tone and strengthen your legs, bum and core muscles while improving your general health and posture. And they look good while doing it!
Skechers suggest wearing their Shape Ups for 25 to 45 minutes per day as part of your typical walking routine. As you continue to wear your Skechers Shape Ups, you will get used to this new way of walking and be able to comfortably walk in them for longer periods.
Skechers Shape Ups improve your health and fitness by changing the way you walk. Designed to mimic barefoot walking, Skechers Shape Ups are designed to bring us back to nature and in doing so utilising more muscles in the legs, back, buttocks and core to stabilise our steps for rapid results while walking.
Due to the rapid urbanisation of our environment we now walk on hard surfaces including tarmac streets and concrete footpaths. Because our feet cannot evolve fast enough to the changes in our surroundings we typically wear cushioned shoes. But in nature, we evolved to walk on soft, uneven surfaces.
Walking in Skechers Shape Ups is much like walking on soft sand. Shape Ups feature a unique soft kinetic wedge insert and dynamic rolling bottom to simulate walking barefoot in this manner. So as you step in Skechers Shape Ups, you will feel your heel sink to the ground, roll forward as your weight shifts to its centre, and then push off with your toes. This rolling motion will then result in stronger leg, buttock, back and abdominal muscles as you stabilise your steps and use each muscle group to its full potential.

Tone and Muscle:
Due to the rapid toning effects of wearing Skechers Shape Ups, muscle soreness may occur during the first few weeks of use, especially in the legs and bum. But as your muscles become accustomed to the exercise, the aches should subside.
