Do Skechers’ Shape-Ups Really Work?

In April I wrote about Skechers’ “Shape-Ups,” fitness shoes that claim to promote weight loss, tone your muscles, and improve your posture without going to the gym.
Skechers Shape-Ups, $110
To me it was a no-brainer. With a promise like that, I needed a pair ASAP. Luckily, the helpful folks at Skechers sent me the Mary-Jane style in black (pictured in tan to the right) to try out.
So I took my Shape-Ups for a test drive across the Brooklyn Bridge. First off, I must admit they aren’t the most fashion-forward looking shoes. They have an elevated sole — apparently that’s where the fitness magic happens — and walking on the wedge “rocker bottoms” takes some getting used to.
I’m a little paranoid by nature, so more than once I thought passersby were staring at my club kid fitness shoes. But I literally hit my stride by the time I completed the 20-minute walk across the bridge, followed by a 10-minute walk to my apartment. My calves felt taut and tingly and my posture was more upright. The Shape-Ups seemed to be working, and I plan to wear them again.
My verdict? Although I wouldn’t recommend the shoes for long walks if you live in a busy, crowded city center like New York City, I will wear them while running errands close to home, cleaning around the house, and power walking at the park. And they’re perfect for smaller city working gals, Moms trying to lose the baby weight, or anyone looking for a supplement to their gym workout.

I am absolutely happy with my Sketcher’s Shape-ups. I am on my feet for 7 hours every day. I use to have very bad pain in my legs, feet, back but just after 1 day I started to feel much better, my posture is very good now, my back is strait, I even think I lost some weight, my family could not believe how quick all my pain was gone, I feel great. Thank you to people who created them. I defenatelly recommend Shape-ups to everybody, for work or just for walking.
I have a bone spur in my right foot and has been bothering me for about a year now, I have been wearing skecher shape ups to work everyday, Medical Assistant, but my back hurts alot, havent lost any weight, or seen any toning in any areas.
But I can say my feet dont hurt at all while walking in them, but the minute I take them off my feet hurt again, dosent repair anything but at least I can walk like a normal person.
I am also an MA, and i am on my feet all day as well, and i have noticed the toning in my bottom,and legs, ive had them a month now, keep it up girl, and you will soon notice
I am a 31 year old mother of 3, and I have been watching my weight and trying to exercise, by walking the dog(I get in about 30 minutes a day unless it’s raining). I have a toddler that I have to take care of so a standard daily exercise routine is out of the question for now. I have been watching my weight and my body measurements for 4 weeks without the Skechers Shape-Ups. Today I’m going to go buy a pair of Skechers Shape-Ups and I will be tracking my progress using those now. I will post additional information as to any benefits I have using these new sneakers versus my old ones.
It’s the perfect time to have a standard daily exercise routine when you have a toddler, if you can get a jogging stroller. A toddler will fit nicely in a jogging stroller. You can power walk, jog or run. It’s right when the child outgrows the jogging stroller that you have a problem. They’re still too young to leave at home alone and too big to run or power walk alongside you.
My son is now 8, and he remembers those precious times in the jogging stroller when I’d be out exercising with him. I even had a plastic drape to place over the stroller for when it rained. He’d enjoy being out there with his little blanket over him. He outgrew the stroller some time ago, but now he’s turned 8 and actually want to get out there with me now to jog. He’s about the right age now, and we can get out there again together. YEA!
These shoes look like MBT’s which I have been wearing for more than three years with great success. I no longer have knee pain, my back doesn’t kill me by the end of the day and best of all my feet don’t hurt. They are about a hundred dollars less and hopefully as comfortable as my MBT’s which I love. I am looking forward to giving them a whirl!
sounds like a sketcher’s employee
I wish.
My husband has run marathons and spent a good 20 years running on cement, and as a result, has a right knee that gives him nothing but misery. He has been to doctors and has been contemplating knee replacement surgery for several months. We happened to go to New York last week and he was dreading the vacation because the part we love most is wandering the streets of Manhattan, and he has so much knee pain when overdoing the walking. We went into DWS at Union Square and while I was looking for shoes he saw the Shape-ups and tried on a pair. For $109 he thought what the heck and bought the shoes. Lo and behold, he spent the rest of the vacation walking everywhere — and without pain. It’s almost miraculous. He just walked in the house to tell me that he did a three-mile walk at Mission Bay in his Skechers, and felt no pain whatsoever. I’m sure the ortho will think we’re nuts on Monday when he goes for a surgery consult!
I have been wearing my Shape-ups for about 3 weeks now. When doing my smaller walks to work they are great, but when I do my 10 kilometer walks on the weekend I find that the balls of my feet really burn. I am walking in Queensland, Australia in the summer time so the temperatures are very warm but my 10 km walks are usually at 6 am. Has anybody else experienced burning? Did you find a solution? I love the shoes as I can feel the work-out they are giving my legs and butt, so I would really like a solution to my burning feet problem.
Make sure you are walking heal-toe, heal-toe. If you are walking on the balls of your feet you will feel the burn.
Hello! veronica, I just read your comment on the skeetchers shapeY-ups. You m ight try a pair of Dr. Sholes insoles especially if the shoes are some what loose fitting. Their are also foam heal pads that are available. You might have to check with a podiatrust s.i.c. for this item . Tom
Yes I love the shoes as you do but I did feel burning when I was walking on my treadmill and I thought perhaps it was from my socks. This is the first time I wore the shoes and will try tomorrow with thinner socks and see if that makes a difference.
Try wearing really thin socks under thicker socks. I do that to avoid blisters. It works maybe it will for the burning. Oh and I am so buying the Shape-ups ASAP. Thanks for all your feedback on the shoes. I will post comments on how I feel afterward.
Cheers
I am a 60 year old, 172 lb heart patient (female). I finally got the Shape UPs and have walked on the treadmill twice.. I think they are probably actually going to do what they advertise to do.. I think with exercising 4-5 a week and trying to cut back on food intake (I don’t smoke or drink, but I DO EAT (I tell my doc this)) LOL…. I believe they will help me lose weight. My abdomen is getting sore! That means they are working, I hope.
PS You are never too old to get in shape or to try new things… I thought $110 was kinda pricey but think they will be worth it. I work at Walgreen’s and stand on my feet all day! And then about the price, after all I spend that much on my nails in about 2 months! 
I usually research a product carefully before buying. Then, when I am ready, I look for what I want and what I am willing to pay. I got Sketchers Shape-up for men today. It is as represented. First off, I paid a good price $120. I had trouble locating the color (white) and size (10) and it took 3 stores until I prevailed. Secondly, I do not want to take them off. I am on my 7th hour. Picture your feet wrapped in pillows, blankets or hundreds of Q-tips. I instantly felt adjustments from the neck, upper back, butt, calf, knees, ankle and feet. It is a most satisfying experience. I feel like I am a member of an exlusive club where owners feet are pampered. That is all I know about this product on its first day out. Worth spending the $ to find out. Enjoy
What I like best about these shoes is that dog poop does not stick to them like other shoes I’ve owned. I walk though alot of dog poop and it seems to just fall away from the shoes! Even the warm fresh gooey poops don’t stick. It’s almost like wearing Teflon shoes. I’m going to walk through some horse poop and some cow poop this weekend. I’ll report back with results.
I was really on the fence about buying these until I read this comment.
Can’t stop laughing – thanks I needed that!!!
Really don’t think this type of comment was necessary!
Get over it! Some people have a little sense of humor and you apparently don’t
if you’ve got dogs its useful info + you need to laugh some. don’t be so dry.
Julz needs to get a life! It was funny!!! I’m hoping to get a pair tomorrow and it adds to the plus factor for me!
I thought it was hilarious! Lighten up Julz.
thanks. I have a problem with the neighbor’s dog coming & doing his business in my yard. Every time I go check my mail, I seem to end up with poo on my shoe. Now I’m sold on these shoes.
i liked your comment most of all. i was cracking up instantly.
How funny is this?? Actually, I do have “dog poop phobia issues”… so this made my day!! Thanks!
Oh thank you! I cannot stop laughing! You have got me crying with laughter…..Keep on walkin’ clean and fresh!
This has made my day. I think I have sit here and laughed for atleast 5 minutes. I tried these shoes on Saturday when shopping with my husband and I can’t stop thinking about them. Up until now I have thought they were the most ugliest things ever, (still they do not do anything for an outfit) but after putting them on I’m hooked. I am going back this weekend to get my first pair. And after reading this post, it looks like I will not have to say those few choice words after stepping in dog poo. Yeah!!!!!
I just wore them yesterday and I’ve been going to a chiropractor twice a week, well today I woke up feeling a lot better. I sleept better than what I had since the pain in my hip started. I came down the stairs without groaning, I don’t know if it was the shoes, but I sure hope so. They are cheaper than the doctor visits for sure.
I seriously LOL’ed. Internet stranger, you have made my day.
We’ll be waiting.
I’m sold.
I have severe arthritis in my ankles and surgery was recommended …I purchased a pair of SHAPE UPS to work in (I am on my feet 8-12 hours a day) and oh my gosh …I love them …My foot and ankle pain has all but left ….thank you Skechers now I do not think I will have to go under the knife ….
PS I bought a second pair just like the ones pictured and they are just as comfy,
I have totally recommend these shoes to coworkers and they love them too
I just read all the comments and I can’t wait to purchase a pair of Shape ups!! I am going to buy my daughter a pair as well. I have been struggling with knee and back pain for years due to my excessive weight. I know with all the positive feedback I have been reading these shoes just might help me. One of the main reasons I have a hard time going for walks is the pain I endure after I get home. I will report back with the results.
I’ve been wearing Skechers Shape Ups for a few months. I absolutely love them. I’ve got two pair and I plan on purchasing more in every style. I’ve been a tennis shoe collector ever since I retired. I plan on giving all my other tennis shoes to Purple Heart and staying with the Shape Ups. I sure can tell the difference when I’m walking and shopping, no more back pain or leg pain. When someone sees me wearing them and ask how I like them I go into this long reply about how great they are.
Wow shape ups are super comfortable!!! I love walking in them even though their not so fashionable. I feel like Im getting a real workout just by standing up in them! My legs have been hurting a little but it turned out I lost 4 pounds and I only had them for a week! A WEEK!
I’m 25 now with a bad hip and back from a bad fall when i was 18, I deal with severe pain everyday. I have decided to get a pair tomorrow, if the shoes are as good as all you say, i can’t wait. No back pain really?! I’m so excited now, if only the mall wasn’t closed, i’d get them now. I’ll post again once i try them. if it helps my pain its worth the money! thanks!

I got my shoes and absolutely love them, i can finally walk more with out pain in my back and hip. they were funny to walk in at first but like someone said before its like pillows and q-tips surrounding your feet. Now when i have to stand around for hours, i won’t be in pain. yea! I’ve tried the insoles before, but my foot didn’t fit in the shoes afterwards. this are very nice shoes. If they firm my booty thats a bonus! i just wanted back relief without surgery. Thanks for the help! happy new year and take care everyone!
-Lynn
I read another post on Prevention about exercise insoles that are similar to Shape ups and Reebok EasyTone, but are less than $30. They fit right into my sneakers and shoes. I wear them everywhere I go. They’re really comfortable, and I felt the difference in my legs and butt almost immediately. I’m always looking for ways to enhance weight loss and these insoles are a real help. They’re called SmartSole exercise insoles http://www.smartsole.com I saw a discount code MB10 for 10% on a coupon board.
Thanks for the tip!
I wear Army boots for a living and have major shin splints – I have had numerous surgeries and not much time to exercise – so I am relieved that these shoes are SOOO comfortable- and I felt a difference the first day – WOW and yes better than my inserts my foot dr gave me for me back and shin splints – I wish I could afford more but these magic wonders are pricey
I just bought a pair of Shape-ups and they seem to want to roll my foot to the inside. The left shoe in particular feels like it is higher on the outside, allowing my foot to rotate to the inside.
Anyone else experience this?
Hmmm! I am experiencing that problem , but it’s my right foot that seems to roll inward, otherwise I really LOVE SHAPE-UPS and can feel the difference in posture and toning only had them and walked in them for 4 days- does anyone wear orthotics in them, as I have a prescription pair and wonder if I wore them ( any Podiatrists out there? ) if that might solve the problem .
I has one knee done six years ago and then had to have a calcaneous osteotomy and tendon transfer done on my right foot. As a rule I have pain all the time.
I purchased my Skechers Shape-Ups four days ago and have worn them about five hours every day since. I love them my feet and knees hurt very little when I wear them. How long should I wait before wearing them all day. Also
is it wise to wear that kind of a shoe all the time or can it cause damage in the long run?
I,m a hair dresser of 10 years. I’ve had back pain, severe knee and foot pain. My feet hert so bad they would throb some days i didn’t even want to stand. I bought the shape ups. all my pain is gone. The feet took longer not to hurt. From time to time my feet will start to hurt again. Maby its time for a new pair. How long are these shoes supposed to last?
I have Fibromyalgia and have severe pain in my feet, ankles,legs , back…every where!!! I wore them for a little bit when I purchased them. They felt sooooo good!! I can’t go without shoes on my feet it hurts so bad to walk that they are a blessing!! I also have the Reebok Easy Tone so I’ll be comparing.I Do love them and plan on getting another style to have. I thought they were toooo goofy but who care win I can FINALLY be pain free!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!
I just bought these Skechers Shape-Ups from Dillard’s (only paid $86 because of a $20 off coupon). I am a huge skeptic when it comes to things like these but I have also worked in shoes for quite a few years now and know the importance of having good shoes. I am on my feet all day at work constantly walking back and forth and have horrible back, foot, and knee pain as a result of walking on the hard surfaces. After one day with these shoes I woke up this morning with no pain at all. I will continue to use these shoes, they are wonderful. And I do feel a burn in my calf muscles and abdomen when walking.
Where can I get that $20 off coupon? I am planning on buying a pair of shape ups if they feel right
i got these shape ups for Christmas and don’t find they do a thing for me! thought maybe I was walking in them wrong, so I tried different ways. I have even worn them for an hour…what am I doing wrong then if everybody else notices a difference?
Hi Sherri, i also got mine for Christmas and i wear then to work everyday because im on my feet all day, and i also walk 2 miles on Saturday morning, and i have notice a huge differance in my butt and legs, try walking more and you should see good results:)
I cannot believe that people are actually buying these shoes. As a leading biomechanist with the Penn State University, I can tell you that these are a lawsuit waiting to happen. The damage done by these shoes to a variety of bodily structures, such as ankles, knees, and the spine is irreversible. Yes, your muscles may burn but how do you know this is good? Simply put, your joints CANNOT handle the new tension that is put on them from these bizarre shoes has caused terrible joint degradation, tendon and ligament tears, and ultimately back problems.
Do not believe these ridiculous claims by these companies. If you want to lose weight, feel healthier, and reduce pain- eat healthy and WORK OUT. You all know that there is no magic pill that can get you what you need- just hard work. Dont be lazy and look for an easy way out with these shoes, because they will do more harm than good.
I would like to see your data to back up your statements. If you have proof that these shoes in fact does damage as you have described, please post here. Also would like to know the studies that were conducted, and what time period and how many people and what people were included in these studies.
If you make such claims as a Doctor, surely you have this information available.
What if i stretch first? will that help prevent tendon and joint damage?
Sorry. We ain’t all doctors. Besides, you sound more like a lawyer looking for a quick buck…….
S/he isn’t either.
I don’t believe Dr. Johnson has read all the posts by people who no longer have pain. Not everyone feels the burn, but many, many people feel (and see) the benefits. I and my husband suffer from lower back pain. We’ve been walking two miles every night in our Shape Ups for the past six months and are happy to report no more pain.
If he had said, ‘if it feels good, keep it up but if it feels bad, stop’, I might have believed his story, but I’m just not buying his shtick.
If you don’t have something to cite, at least suggest/URL-us-out-on how people can tell they’re going to tear ligaments etc. just as they gain enthusiasm for exercise wearing these things. Which aren’t that outre, given the high-altitude running races won by Native Americans wearing arcs of old tires. Or say whether you wear Tevas unironically. Heh heh.
Which “Dr. Johnson” at Penn State are you?
http://www.biomechanics.psu.edu/faculty.html
Oh wait, there aren’t any.
In all seriousness, I am very interested in what actual doctors and people who study kinesiology think about this type of shoe, but posting vitriol under a fake name (and likely a fake association) doesn’t help anyone who is trying to find real information. If you have some real information, please post it.
Listen I went to a chiropractor and my back is worse I thought they were supposed to help make you back stronger..somebody has to stop them before people start to die from injurys or falling.You cannot even walk without losing your balance..any lawyers please?thank you
The results are amazing. Wearing Shape Ups works great.
For the Dutchies there is a great webshop shape-ups.nl where you can buy them, with no shipping costs (in Netherlands only).
I have been a a Skechers fan since they came out because they were the only shoes besides the nike cross trainers (this particular model was discontinued in 1991) to fit right. When one day me an a co worker were mentioning something money wise she said “well I never buy anything pricey specially not for me, with the kids its hard but I just had to get the Skechers Shape-Ups and I’m loving them” showing them off. So that night I called my sister and mentioned them she said yea I saw them but I could not afford 100 dollar shoes. I replied 100! wow that is pricey so I decided to research best prices there same price everywhere so I said let me get a pair and see for myself. I bought my first pair in November. I fell in love instantly wore them everyday even though kids made fun mom wants her butt to get bigger. I don’t do much walking so really did not notice a difference at first but when I walked i did feel I did not get tired as much that itself had me happy. For the holidays my parents came to visit running late somewhere my mom lost a sneaker said just take mine lets go she also loved them instantly she didn’t take them off for the rest of her trip, jokingly I said ill sell em to you she said na u probably want 50 bucks ill pass lol make a long story short the y day she left back home in Chicago I may add when im in NYC she took them with her when I called to ask she said its christmas i know you’ll find it in your heart to forgive me lmao!. was now thinking do i really wanna spend these 100 dollars again after reading this I defenatly am! oh well gotta start saving for a new pair! off to get them soon.
i got a pair of shape ups for christmas – i’m on my feet standing and walking from 7:30 till sometimes 5 and my husband got them for me for christmas – and payed a great price of $73.00 – got them on line at Kohls and had a 30% coupon – but i have been wearing them for about a week now and i dont really know if i feel a difference yet – i don’t think they are that comfortable to stand in – i have to keep my feet moving in the rocking motion – well today 1/13/10 i decided to wear my regular sketcher sneakers to work and i have been here not even 2 hours and my back is killing me and i can feel my feet starting to hurt – will be wearing them tomorrow and from now on – they are still uncomfortable – the breaking in the new shoe im hoping – i’m not standing on a cloud of fluff – but its better then the regular shoe
It might be the Sketcher brand itself. New balance and Saucony are much better shoes for walking and running. I work on my flat feet for 12hr days sometimes and have no problem at the end of the day. I kind of agree with the Dr. on this one. Your muscles and joints don’t need constant pressure on them, they need periods of rest. People who workout regularly know this. One can tell by looking at your feet what shoes should work and which ones won’t. I was curious when a friend mentioned these and wondered what they were really all about.
I tried Shape ups today in store…I’m sure they take a little while to get use to. My concern is that I have extremely flat feet..and use orthodicts. When I put them in the shoes..and walked I could feel the orthodict pushing into my arch area. I had taken out the insole to fit the orthodicts in there. I tried walking without the orthodicts and felt like my foot definitely leaned inward because of no arch. My question…has anyone else used orthodicts in the Shape ups…is the odd feeling with orthodicts just because of the difference of the shape of the shape ups..and do they work with orthodicts… I hate to spend $100 plus dollars and not adjust to them…Thanks for any feedback!
I just bought my first pair of Skechers Shape Ups on Jan 7, to wear on our trip to Disney World Jan 8-16. I took along several other pair of shoes as well. The Shape Ups were so comfortable that I wore them the entire time and haven’t worn any other shoes since then…even after we got home yesterday. I’m going to buy another pair tomorrow. Even walking all over Disney in a brand new pair of shoes, my feet were really comfortable. The first day or two my calves were a little sore, and also my inner thighs, which is probably a combination of walking so much -and- wearing the Shape Ups. I really love these shoes!! I hope they make them in summer styles as well!
if you are looking for a pair of these try Kohls.com and find coupons online! I got mine for 20% off
I’ve had mine for about 3 weeks wearing them almost everyday at work (I’m a teacher) and I think they are helping tone my upper legs. I find that my socks are usually soaking wet after I take the shoes off – I guess my feet are working harder than I realize in those shoes!
you need to purchase the Cool MaX brand quarter socks. they wick moisture away from your feet- I got them @ Lady Foot Locker where I got my shape-ups and walk an hour a day with “no sweaty feet”. Try it- you’ll like them!!
I got the Shape Ups for Christmas. I have terrible posture and my back always hurt. Before the end of Christmas day my posture was much better and I have no more back pain – and even when I don’t have the shoes on I stand up straight – no more slumping! 2 weeks later I could wear jeans I haven’t been able to get into for quite awhile. My husband says he can feel how much tighter my muscles are in my legs. I love these shoes and am very glad that I shelled out the money for them!
I am using it for more then 40 days. I am not sure if it really works the way advertise but I don’ have problem using it everyday. I feel much comfortable walking and going to work everyday.
I got the Sketcher shape-ups just after Christmas with gift money after seeing several ads and researching them. They were a good bit more money than I usually pay for shoes, but I am a nurse and my feet were killing me. I had been wearing regular Nike athletic shoes and could not wait to get home and take them off, even taking them off at work sometimes. I was a little wary of the Sketchers after all the hype over Crocs and then hearing they were not good for your feet. However, I have been wearing them to work for a month now and am happy to report that I LOVE THEM!! I don’t know if they are helping my legs and butt shape, but they definitely help my posture and my feet DO NOT hurt!! In fact, after a 12 hour shift on my feet I do not want to take them off. Several days after work I’ve even gone shopping and I used to avoid that at all costs. I have 4 other co-workers who have also bought them since I got mine and they also love them. I have suffered from shin splints and plantar faciatis in the past also, and these are helping. Additionally, I have noticed the swelling that I have been keeping in my legs and feet after working is very much reduced. I’m just hoping that some Orthopedic Dr doesn’t decide they are terrible for us and burst my balloon!
I just got my sketchers on Monday and already feel that I’m working out my legs and butt. It’s a bit odd getting used to the rocking motion of your feet when you walk. I think that’s were the “helps your posture” comes in since it’s easier to walk when your posture is correct it encourages you to stand straight and tall. Took a 15 min walk this morning and just loved how the shoes felt. I give them two thumbs up for now!!
I just got these shoes 3 days ago. My calves hurt! i feel it in my upper abs somewhat. What i dont feel is the back pain before a trip to walmart would put me in bed for 2 days it hurt so bad. 3 days pain free I dont ever want them off lol. A little wobbly at first took few hours to get my balance. But now i got that down. Overall great shoes that take a bit to get used to.
I have been wearing the shape-ups for over a month now and yes they do work.
My legs are much stronger than they were and I started dancing again and it felt great. I seem to be toning up even in my abdomen and my posture is straight now even when I take them off. I am even losing weight but of course I am dieting at the same time and taking supplements so it is a matter of everything working synergistically. I am buying a second pair to horde, lol, in case they take them off the market. I am a bit paranoid.
Skechers Shape-Ups Really Work?”,
Yes,Yes,
WHEN WILL SHAPE UPS BE AVAILABLE IN STORES IN A WIDER WITH?
These are the greatest shoes! I have been wearing them to work now for about 3 weeks. I started off wearing them for a few hours a day and that lasted all of 3 days. My job has me going into a store for about an hour a store. I wore them in the first store, changed into my old shoes for the second store and when I came out of that store, I took those old ones off and put the skechers right back on and have not worn the old ones again. My knees are not bothering me, my feet feel great and the nerve pain I used to have in my toes is no longer ther. I am losing inches and I think weight . . . I’m getting rid of all my other shoes and getting more shapeups! I have 2 pair I rotate now.
At my company, Viewpoints.com, we were curious like you about whether toning shoes really work. We tested out Reebok Easy Tones and Skechers Shape Ups, talked to experts and investigated which one is the best toning shoe. If you’re interested, we recently blogged about it here: http://www.viewpoints.com/thegoods/Skechers-Shape-Ups-Reebok-Easy-Tones
Do you have any thoughts as to which brand might fit a wide foot better–Skechers or MBTs?
HI! I just bought a pair of sketchers shape ups. I work in a shoe department for the holidays and decided to give it a whirl. I have heard nothing but good things about them. Unfortunately I have wide feet because I am flat footed. I was amazed with these shoes because they do not feel so snug and like they are squeezing my feet. At my full time job I work 10 hour days on my feet the entire time… I am so excited to come home from work without sore feet. I hope you find the same with the Sketchers. And by the way I do not make commission or reap any benefits from selling shoes. -Satisfied customer.
I have a wider foot and Skechers always work for me. I don’t have MBTs so I can’t say that one is better than the other, but again, I like Skechers.
My foot is very wide and I was also worried about Skechers not having the W. Not to worry, they are very comfortable and I wear my regular size 7 1/2 in them. Too comfy. Walked for hours yesterday and was not sore at all, so only thing is, am hoping they are working. My first time in them.
