Skechers Walking Shoes

The Skechers walking shoes are designed to give wearers an extra workout just by wearing them while going about a daily routine.   While Shape-ups are not the first or by means only “fitness” shoe, they have quickly become one of the most popular.

Skechers is a relatively new company in the walking and fitness shoe business.  They have only been around since 1992, but are one of the fastest growing footwear companies in the United States.  They make trendy, casual shoes aimed at 19-40 year old men and women.  Skechers now designs and markets more than 900 different shoes.  Their flashy ad campaigns have contributed greatly to their growth.

Skechers walking shoes are made up of four layers.   The bottom layer is a standard Skechers rubber outsole that has been curved to create a dynamic rolling shape.   Above the outsole is a kinetic wedge of polyurethane that goes the entire length and width of the shoe.   The lower layer of this wedge gives the foot cushioning for shock absorbance.   It is soft enough to create instability which the body’s muscles must compensate for.

The Skechers Shape Ups are taking the world by storm.  The fit shoe is the new rage and seems to be gaining more and more popularity by the day.  Backed by a solid name, Skechers Shape Ups continue the tradition of solid workmanship, stylish designs, and a price point that is much more affordable than its competitors.

Shape Ups from SKECHERS are designed to get you fit while you walk, work, shop, and more.  Shape Ups have as much a place in your life as your boots, sandals, and dress casuals, and can retrain your muscles, helping you walk with a positive impact.  Used properly, Shape Ups change the way you approach your daily activities.  Used regularly, Shape Ups will enhance the way you feel and look; muscles get toned, calories are burned and your posture improves.

Shape Ups are the ideal fitness equipment for the on-the-go, busy lifestyle.  Wear them to and from the office, pack them in your suitcase, or keep them in your car for shopping trips.  They are portable power in a small package.

The goal with Shape Ups was to simulate walking on soft ground.  SKECHERS has turned hard surfaces into comfortable ground through revolutionary technology designed into the framework of the shoe.  The core of this technology is in the dynamic rolling bottom, the soft foam insert under the heel, and the dual-density midsole.  Walking on softer, uneven surfaces forces you to engage muscles not normally used when walking on hard ground.
