Skechers Shape Ups incorporate a specially designed curved sole which is intended to reproduce the mechanics of walking barefoot across soft ground. The sole has three elements:
The dynamic rolling bottom section, the special soft foam cushioned insert beneath the heel and the twin density mid-sole section work in combination to give you the sensation of walking on soft sand or a thick pile carpet. Walking normally, as if on a soft surface, will encourage you to use muscles that you wouldn’t normally use when walking on hard surfaces in conventional shoes. It will also extend the duration that the muscles are used for.
This will tone and strengthen your muscles as well as increasing blood circulation and reducing any jarring impacts on your lower back and joints.
The potential benefits of using Skechers Shape Ups are as below:
- Better posture.
- Improved blood circulation.
- Trims and tone legs and buttocks while walking.
- Strengthen back muscles.
- Reduced cellulite.
- Tighter abdominal muscles.
Different Styles
Shape Ups are available in a number of different styles for both men and women. The exercise shoe style is very popular of course and you can even do your bit for breast cancer awareness by selecting Skechers walking shoes as shown on the right. Skechers donate $10 for every pair sold.
There are a variety of different colors and styles available so you should be able to find something to suit.
