    Skechers Shape-Ups do they work?

    Hello all

    I was given a gift towards my new me and they are the Skechers Fitness Footwear "shape-ups" according to the book and dvd this things brings ( btw they are a whopping $110.00 dollars) they are designed to make you walk in a way that "firms calf muscles" " reduces cellulite and tones thights" " Firms buttocks muscles" " strengthens the back" " Improves Posture" " Improves blood circulation" "Tighten abdominal muscles"

    all that without setting foot in a gym, you just walk and do your everyday thing. I put this things on and they are quite comfortable but they do make you use the muscles, according to this thing is to be used between 30-45 minutes a day until you are fully comfortable in them.

    Has anybody tried them? do they work?

    I have the origional Fitflops (I think Sketchers copied) and have worn the sandal version all through the summer and now own the boots (they look like UGGs with a thicker sole).
    I find them really comfortable and great to walk in, I wear them pretty much all day. Have they helped muscle tone, I really dont know its hard to do a controlled experiment unless you have them on one foot only
    I am sure you will enjoy wearing them!

      I am not too familiar with them but Amazon has a lot of reviews on them (I was looking at the UK page) and lots of positive feedback. I am now curious about them. They look different but I like them.

        THey are $20 cheaper at factory outlets ) I haven't bought a pair, but my cousin did and she wears them at her job in the hospital as an RT, she finds they force her to stand and walk correctly - so that in itself is a bonus as she's not in pain at the end of the day.

          I like them and wear mine for the height - not the hype.

            I got some a couple weeks ago. I got them on "another website". They were 100.00. I got them there because most places don't have my size and they did. I find them quite comfortable. I've generally only been wearing them doing my treadmill time but today I decided to leave them on while I cleaned the house. Very comfortable but after wearing them for 2 weeks doing my workout I can't notice any difference in my legs. But it probaly takes longer then that . But I do like them.

            Everytime I am tempted to use food to satisfy my frustrated desires, build up my injured ego, or dull my senses, I will remember,
            That even though I overeat in private, my excess poundage is there for all the world to see.
