Can Skechers Shape Ups Tone Your Legs and Butt While Walking?
Skechers Shape Ups toning shoes and sneakers for women and men are comfortable to wear.
Here is the premise - with Shape Ups you don't need to do anything special to get the toning benefits - just wear them while you go for a walk, shop at the mall, go sightseeing - any time that you would wear your sneakers, wear Shape Ups instead.
There has been a lot of controversy over how much of a benefit they offer. The FTC even ruled that Skechers ( among other toning shoe companies ) have overstated their benefits. I never expected shoes to totally tone my lower body and it did surprise me when some people watched the commercials and thought that they would.
Sure you can feel your muscles working a bit when you walk in them but it's not like you've spent an hour at the gym.
I like them because you'll find that these are one of the most comfortable sneakers that you can wear.
In addition Skechers Shape Ups fitness shoes come in the latest styles so you won't look like a dork and no one will know that you are wearing "toning" shoes. Just visit Skechers Shape Ups
and see all the 4 and 5 stars (out of 5 stars) that real customers are giving this line of sneakers. Then read through some of the reviews and you'll see why they are so popular.
You'll look great & you'll feel great!
No! You will not get a 4 star workout or lose a million pounds just by wearing fitness shoes, but my way of thinking is that every little bit helps - and many of us want all the help that we can get..
Already familiar with them & just want to see the newest styles & get the best deals?

How Do Shape Up Shoes Work and Why?
This can often cause our back's to ache, our posture to be poor and puts extra pressure on our knees and ankle joints.
Toning and fitness shoes like Shape Ups, work with the natural way that we are meant to stand and walk and then accentuate it just a bit to give you the toning and firming benefits.
Think of it this way. You know how your legs and butt muscles can often feel after you take a long walk or run on the beach when you are barefoot?
Since the sand shifts under your feet they have to move forward in a rolling motion.
Now while your feet are gradually tipping forward your legs, thighs and butt muscles compensate for this movement by working a bit harder. This helps to help tone your leg and butt muscles.
This is the movement that you get when you walk in your Shape Ups.
Does it take a while to get used to the motion of Shape Ups?
The motion itself is very natural however, the first few times that you were your Shape Ups you will feel it the next day.
Like when you go hiking when you haven't done so in a while, your calf, thigh and butt muscles will feel sore and a bit achy.
But that's actually good - it means that you are working muscles that you haven't worked for a while.
After you have worn them for a bit, you won't feel the soreness but your muscles will still be working in the same motion. .
Then when you are standing still your hips, core and shoulders are in correct alignment giving you better posture.
Better posture equals less back strain.
One thing to add - just like when you walk on the beach, when you walk in Shape Ups you may burn a bit more calories. Yes, it's a very, very little but more.
I'm not sure about you, but I'll take what ever extra calories burning power that I can get.

Skechers Tone Up Shoes and Sneakers
Do you have problem arches?
Do you have a hard time finding comfortable sneakers due to your arches?
While I have never had an issue with my arches my good friend Chet does.
On his recent visit he had mentioned that he finally found a pair of sneakers that he found extremely comfortable as they had good arch support and he always had issues with either the arch being too low or too high.
When I took a look at them I had to laugh. Here I'm loving Shape Ups because of the toning motion and never thought that people who really weren't interested in toning but just wanted a comfortable sneaker.
He had no idea that the sneakers that he had purchased were toning shoes, he just had tried them on and really liked the way that they fit and now won't wear any other sneakers.
So I guess if you're not really interested in the toning benefits, Shape Ups still may be the right shoe for you.

Skechers Shape Ups Boots
Toning and Fitness Boots
I bet that you didn't realize that there were toning boots - now did you?
When I first found out I was surprised and at that time there were only 2 or 3 different styles and only a handful of sizes. Now the line has expanded and I'm thinking that by the time that next winter comes around there should be an even bigger selection.

- I didn't want to pay for the full price of the actual Sketcher ones, so I bought the brand from Payless Shoes, and they are just as comfortable and work just as well I love them!! They make me feel like I am walking on a cloud daily.

- I work at a store that sells Shape Ups and people buy and return them in equal amounts. The main complaint? "My legs are sore." Working out makes you sore! Imagine that. ;)
I do own a pair of the black Tone Up sandals and I really like them. I didn't actually get them to see if they worked; I just wanted comfortable sandals. (And they were on clearance. )
This article left out the women's work Shape Ups. I tried them on and walked around a bit and they are incredibly comfortable. Ugly as sin, but comfy.
I kinda want some of the boots now...
In the end though, just do some squats; they're free.

- I bought toneup trainers 2 months ago and wear them a lot, I wear them for zumba up to 4 times per week. but already they are losing their freshness, they are not as springy, or supportive and are stretching, I now feel aches and pains I didn't expect when at zumba.
the soles wore through to the fibre already too! Am not very impressed this far........

- For shoes that are only 2 months old, they should feel and act like new. I suggest that you contact or visit the merchant or store where you purchased your shoes and let them know your situation. Even if you don't still have the receipt, they should allow you to exchange your pair for a new one ( unless it is specifically mentioned when you purchase your shoes that it is a final sale - but even then, sometimes you can exchange if the shoes are defective.
If you purchased with a credit card even if you don't have the receipt, it would be listed on your credit card bill.
Tone Ups have an very good reputation and should hold up very well for months and months.
You could also contact Skechers and let them know about the issue you are finding.
It's worth it to try and see what can be done to keep you as a satisfied customer.

- You can actually feel it in your lower body while you are walking ( and definitely the next morning for the first few times that you wear them) so I do think that they are working your muscles. However, I would not expect to "see" any type of major changes in the tone or shape of our lower half. If someone is looking to use these types of shoes instead of exercising then they will be very disappointed. If they just want to add a bit they will be quite satisfied. Plus they are very comfortable. Just be sure to only wear them for a short time for the first few times that you wear them. I have a friend that golfs & his first time wearing them he played 20 holes and his muscles started to get tied and achy about 3/4's of the way through his game & his muscles were very achy the next morning.
