Skechers Shape Ups Xt, Men's Fitness Shoes

These are great shoes - they really help my husband's bad back. He finds them easy to walk in and they are well made.

Comfortable and hard-wearing, but with a couple of minor disadvantages.Their insole, while offering good padding, doesn't offer much in the way of airation - if you wear them for more than a couple of hours your feet will be pretty warm; a few hours more and they'll be very sweaty. I did order them towards the end of Spring though, so the weather is a contributory factor.The other niggling issue is that they're not for lazy people. My habit is to lace up trainers fairly loosely so they can be slipped on and off without too much effort, but if you do that with these, the curved design of the sole means the back of the shoe will rub up and down against your heel with every step. They need to be fastened anew, tightly, with every wear. A velcro-tie version would be an improvement imo. But like I say, it's my own lazines that causes this issue - normal people probably won't experience this problem!

Really good,sturdy shoe. I wear them for work and my feet still feel great after a nine hour shift.

I've been suffering from osteo arthritis in my right foot for a few years now, & could not get any shoe or insole combination to offer much relief. I've recently been issued with an orthotic brace which does do the trick, but it's a bit cumbersome & I can only wear it with one or two shoes. This Sketchers Shape-Up shoe is remarkably comfortable, and its rolling action almost completely stifles the pain I've been getting. The rolling action takes a bit of getting used to, and it's a bit awkward on rough ground, but all in all, these are a great solution. I'm chuffed!

brilliant shoes good for the money and sorted my plantar fasciitis quickly

Good fit and a godsend for the osteoarthritis I have in my big toes. I can walk as normal in these shape-ups with very little pain. A little heavier than I expected but good quality.

Great to wear, very comfortable. Alas, only 3 months after I got them they've almost completely worn through in several places. If they weren't £60 a pop I'd certainly buy them again but too expensive to wear out so soon.

I've had a few pairs of these Shape Ups and I have found them to be a great help in easing my walking with arthritic ankles. I was very disappointed when Skechers stopped selling them in UK and delighted to discover that Amazon had a few for sale. The pair I have just received seem to be just as good as ever and will keep me going for a few more years.
