Cute shoes that really work your legs!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
These shoes really give your legs a workout if you watch the video and walk in them as instructed. It’s sort of a rolling type motion from the heel to the toe that takes a bit of getting used to, but once you get it, you can really feel the burn from the waist down. Plus, they are just really cute shoes and comfortable to stand in. I wore them around the house to break them in, and then went for a few short walks in them to get used to them. I have bad feet (flat arches) and am on my feet a lot during the day, so I’m always on the lookout for comfortable shoes. These definitely fit the bill and at this price, they are a bargain, especially compared to other shoes of this kind.

These shoes are so comfortable. I had been having trouble with foot pain, but it is gone with these shoes. They are cuter that the picture implies!

MBT’s win!
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Well, I finally received the long awaited Sketchers…I’ve owned MBT’s for the last 5 years and have about 6 pairs. I wondered if Sketchers were going to be the best less expensive brand of the two. NOT! I find Sketchers soles rather gummy and skishy. The arch support is not there for those of us who have high arches. Because of the lack of arch support, my feet tended to turn inwardly and I had to consciously walk with the weight on the sides of my feet. Awful. After a few hours, my feet felt uncomfortable and in pain and the size was right. The show itself it cute–the brown Lady Jane style. For $99 it’s so so… I’d rather pay the extra $50 and get MBT’s on sale ANYTIME.

There’s no comparison. MTS’ are the only true ANTI-SHOE. Go MBT’s!

Great Shoe

This is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. The tone your muscles, I have lost several inches in my thighs and hips. They center you which keeps your back from hurting. And on top of all that they look really great!!! I love them.

These Shoes Changed My Life!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have 2 medical conditions that cause me severe abdominal and lower back pain. Walking has been very difficult for almost 10 years, and I had resorted to using an electric scooter to get around for many errands and day trips. I had looked at the MBTs , but couldn’t afford to buy them, knowing that there was a good chance they would cause more pain, but when I saw the less expensive Skechers, I decided to try a pair of the ShapeUps tennis shoes. Within moments of putting them on, I was standing taller than I had in years, and also felt muscles working in my legs. After 2 weeks of wearing them according to the instructions, we took the kids to Disneyland. I used my scooter for less than 1/4 of the time! I STOOD in lines! I wasn’t sore, and when I woke the next day, I wasn’t in so much pain I had to stay in bed to recuperate. IT WAS A MIRACLE!

I have since bought 2 more pairs, including the Mary Janes, and have turned my Mom, husband and 2 daughters into users, as well. We’re all just thrilled with the comfort and therapeutic aspects of these shoes. Well worth every penny, and so cute!

Watch the DVD, and pay attention to how you walk- it does take some getting used to until you learn the rhythm. But once you do, you’ll feel the work-out aspect! Be prepared for some tender muscles at first… in a good way!

BTW- I have since tried the MBTs, and they feel identical, although more expensive. Not sure of the difference, but the Skechers definitely WORK!

Love ‘em

These shoes are very comfortable, even the first time I wore them – no breaking in period needed. They’re cute enough to wear to work with slacks and skirts. I have bunions and there’s plenty of room so I don’t feel any pressure in that area.

I love these shoes!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have these in brown. They are SO comfortable. I have tarsal tunnel syndrome and have had surgery that only half worked, and these shoes, amazingly, do NOT irritate the nerve in my foot. My friend has some, and she said she had balance problems at first, but strangely, although my balance is awful, I actually feel MORE stable in these shoes. I’m not sure why that is, but I sure am glad. To me they feel more like walking barefoot than a lot of shoes, and that is how I walk best.

I could tell after the first day that they seemed to be exercising my lower calves a bit, and my husband commented that I was standing up taller. My friend says she can’t tell a difference in her posture, but I have noticed – they obviously have helped mine.

The shoes look very nice on. The strap is velcro and it stays on very well. I also have been wearing these out in my garden a bit, without thinking, and they’ve been easy to keep clean. I got dirt and water on them the other day, but it brushed off and I can’t even tell. Whew. They were high and I was scared I’d ruined them, but nope, they cleaned up great.

My ONLY complaint is that they are a bit hot. I’ve been using foot spray to keep them from getting stinky, because the ARE rather hot to me and I don’t think they’d look right with socks.

I personally find them more comfortable than Crocs.

It's a great shoes for those who do a lot of walking and standing.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I've been wearing these shoes for 3 weeks and I love them so much.
The first day I wore them (more than 10 hrs long), I could really feel the strain on my calves and my thighs.
That means my lower part of the body really workout.
After wearing them a couple time, I felt very comfortable walking on them (barely notice the wobbles).
Feel more like walking on the cloud. These shoes got a great support on the arches and that helps reduce the pain on my feet at the end of the day.
The size of the shoes reflects the true size of your regular shoes.
You could feel that the shoes got you stand up straight in order to balance your motions.
The shoes price is reasonable(though a bit higher than reg. shoes but well worth it).

I'd recommend these shoes to anybody who needs to do a lot of walking during the day.
They are great for everyday uses.

Cons:
- a little bit hot if you wear them for a long period of time like 6 hrs or more.... (it'd be great if they have a little ventilation)
(put on the no-show socks might help reduce the bad smell that might be developed from your sweat..)

Minor cons:
- the style is not really attractive but acceptable (when trade off with the benefits they've to offer).
- feel a bit weird to walk on them at the first time because of the rolling motions (need some times to get used to).
