I loved the shape ups by Skechers in the beginning. After wearing them for a few months for walking and working on my feet, I began to have a terrible pain deep in the heels and ankles Nothing I tried helped to relieve this pain I still have trouble today even though I haven't worn them for 6 months!

My Review 

Horrible shoes! After wearing them for months for walking and working I began having terrible pain deep in the heels of my feet and pain in my ankles and legs!! I have stopped wearing them for months and continue to have the pain due to the shape ups! I never had foot problems before but now since the Skechers I'm constantly in pain!! Has anyone else out there had such a bad experience with these shoes?? Please I need to know!!

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

No

Wendy Bumgardner, Walking Guide, says:

Skechers Shape-ups may not have the right motion mechanics for every walker. It is a good idea to buy them from sellers that have a generous return policy. It is wise to discontinue use of any shoe if it seems to be causing you pain. You can Compare Prices for Skechers Shape-Ups.
