Exclamation Gadget Flashback: Skechers "Shape Ups" Toning Shoes

I can't remember when these rocker-soled shoes came out. Maybe 2010? The ads claimed they were good for weight loss. Skechers got into trouble for that. They were discontinued long ago.

Here is an article about them:

Skechers Shape Ups Walking Shoes

I had a pair and didn't like them. They felt too strange. I returned them. Yet, I have a friend who thought they were very comfortable.

Did anyone else try them?

I had them. They were great when I was pregnant, not so much after that.

I tried a pair on at the store but didn’t buy them. They felt weird and like your calves were over stretched with each stride.

I had them. I remember wondering if they were throwing my balance off.

I also got a $34 rebate after the lawsuit.

I love rocker bottom shoes! I bought the Skechers Shape Up Resistance Runners and they were my favorite shoes ever! When I found out at the shoe outlet that they were discontinued I bought every pair on the clearance rack that would fit me at all. I think I bought 6 pair that day.

Some Hoka shoes have a similar feel. I never bought a pair of the ones from Sketchers, but the Hoka shoes I tried on recently felt pretty good. I ended up getting a pair by Mizuno though.

I had them. I wore them at work where I was on my feet all day. They felt a little weird at first, lol, but very comfy.

I had several pairs of Skechers Shape Ups and loved them. I only used them for work and walking outside. I wore the heels out.

I still have and wear them! I have some tendonosis in my foot, and the rocker bottom allows me to walk without tweaking it at all. I don’t know what I’m going to do when they give out!
