Skechers Tone Ups: Burn Calories at the Beach

I bought the shape up sneakers thee years ago. They are so awesome.I wear them during cold weather.I wear them most everywhere. They help me with balance in addition to keeping leg muscles in shape. I was thrilled to find tone up sandals(flip flops). I have 3 pair. One pair is classy enough to wear with most any outfit. It looks like a dressy sandal. I have very sensative feet but all these have worked great for me. I definitely recommend trying them.

Man people are whiners

I purchased the Skechers Tone Ups and wore them all day. My legs were fine and they were very comfortable to walk in. However, I have two red marks on the top of my foot, where the two bands meet. The double stitched fabric has caused a bruise. I can't put the shoes back on it hurts that much! I'm trying to let the bruise heal again before attempting to wear them. You wouldn't notice this discomfort when trying them on, just after wearing them all day!!!

I bought my first pair of Shape Ups two years ago, watched the video and did as suggested, wear them a little while per day until you build yourself up and learn how to walk in them. Since then I have not wore any other brand of tennis shoes. They do build your legs, calves and buttocks up. I even lost weight in my abdomen. I have three pairs of Shape Ups, counting my original pair. When summer started I began wearing my sandals, it is too hot for tennis shoes. I bought a pair of Tone Ups the other day and wore them all day today and yes they do work your legs out. I haven't wore my Shape Ups since the 1st of May so my legs haven't been working out since then and I can tell in these Tone Ups. They are well worth the money. I do advise anyone that is not use to working out or wearing exercise shoes to go easy wearing these types of footwear until you build yourself up to them. A few hours per day for a week should do it.

I bought a pair of tone ups and wore them daily for 30 days. I can not wear them any more. My feet started rolling inward and my feet and ankles were painful. I now have to go buy another pair of sneakers after I just spent $90.00 a month ago ... very disappointed !

The reaction is not the same for everyone. I found Shape-ups in a velcro strapped sandal version (Shape-ups is printed on the strap; not Tone-ups). Shopped in them most of the next day. The cushioned soles were very comfy. I haven't felt any soreness from the toning properties. For the record, I have fairly strong calves, but am in my 50's and significantly overweight -- definitely not the athletic type. I have a low arch and the shoe provided more support in that area than I was used to which resulted in a little pain in the arch, but I was able to work through that in a couple of days. I'm definitely considering a pair of work out shoes.

So I've been wearing the Skechers Shape-Ups since September 2010. I tried two cheaper brands before and then went for the Skechers... LOVE THEM. We went to Las Vegas and I purchased the Tone-Ups Sandals. I wore them from morning until midnight daily and LOVED THEM! No sore feet at all, and you do a lot of walking in Vegas!

Hello i bought my tone-up boots by postorder and did see no video is there some place where i can watch it on line. greetings lonneke

wored my tone ups for two days straight...felt nothing, but then again I am a bodybuilder and am used to more rigorous workouts. I love how my knees don't hurt as much though.

I have had shape-up and now got the tone-up shoes; I can tell you this that it's going to hurt if you wear them all day. They come right out in the video and even the manual tells you not to wear them for more than 30mins your first day and then work your way up by each day ect. Next time read the information before you put them on. They are fitness equipment not normal shoes you wear day in and day out.

I agree with you that the saleslady should have explained it to you beforehand. It takes a while to get used to and I would never have worn them straight away all day. It is like never been to the gym and all of a sudden, you do a 24hr gym stint, you would be very sore. I would try and wear them again but ease into it because they do really work, believe me.

I wore my ton ups all day yesterday shopping and my back is killing me this morning... I didn't realize that you are to work your way up to being able to wear them all day!!

I bought a pair of Tone-ups the first of the month and put them on the rest of the day. The next day, my legs were tight and I could feel the muscles being worked in a different way. I wear them every other day now and really feel the benefits. I totally recommend them

Lots of people become overly enthusiastic when they first try on these types of shoes. I'm not sure about Tone Ups, but both Shape Ups and MBTs come with an instructional video (which first-time users should watch). These types of shoes are considered "fitness equipment." And when starting a fitness regimen it is important to start slow.

If you go into a gym the first time, and workout all day, you are going to be very sore the next several days. The same thing could happen with these shoes. It is rare, but every now and then someone pays the price for overdoing it. Start out wearing these shoes for an hour (or two) the first couple of days. Slowly increase the amount of time you wear them.

After a couple of weeks you would be able to wear them all day. If you are responsible, you will shoes will provide you will countless health benefits.

The day I purchased a pair of Tone Ups sandals I was so comfortable in them that I wore them out of the store. I wore them all day and felt great. The next day I could not get out of bed as my back was so bad! It is now nine days later and I am still recovering. I will never put these shoes on again. I think that any shoe that changes the way you walk should come with a warning to wear them only very briefly at first and to build up to wearing them to a longer time. I am done with all kinds of "shaping"and "toning" shoes forever!
