"I purchased these because the reviews and the designs. I suffer from 2 herniated discs in my lower back and I'm always looking for support to help me through.

I have done the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer walk in Chicago, IL for the past 3 years with great success using Sketchers shoes. When I saw these Shape-ups advertised I decided that I would try them as I train for the walk.

Once the walk is over I will give a additional review but right now I have been wearing them as I walk to and from work and they are working great. My back is not hurting like it normally would and I think these shoes will be a great help preparing for the Avon Walk."

"What is there not to love? I now have two pair, and I bought this pair for work. I work for the Police Department, and do a lot of foot patrol. I had been having a lot of back, leg and foot pain, and my left thigh was numb. Since obtaining the sketchers, The feeling has returned to my thigh, my leg pain has stopped, and the foot pain is also getting better fast! That is on top of allowing me to walk more! I can already see a difference on the reading on the scales! I have already recommend them to everyone I know and a few I didn't know!"

"I work in a cardiac operating room and I am on my feet anywhere from 8 to 16 hours a day. I have had multiple surgeries on my left knee and ankle due to high school sports injuries. After having ankle and knee pain for twenty years I decided to try the shape-ups. I now can stand all day without pain in the evening. The shoes seem make you properly align your ankle, knee and hip and reduce joint stress. The benefits as far as toning legs is also there, but that is a different review. These shoes have been a great help in relieving my arthritis pain. I highly recommend them if you have foot, ankle, or knee pain."
