I bought some yesterday, after an afternoon of wearing them so far I am finding them very comfortable, but both my boys have said people they work with at McDonalds have all moaned about them and back issues....I have done some research online and can only find positive reviews so wondered if anyone here has any thoughts!!

I have had mine for about 3 months. They're great. I walk the dogs and walk to work in them everyday and have had no problems. When I first had them it felt as though the right one was correcting my foot but I don't notice it now so either I have got used to it or my foot has a better "posture" now.
Enjoy them!!

Plus they are much cheaper in the US I picked up 2 pairs for $40 each pair and obviously the male type

Oink

You could just go to the gym.

$40??? Real Shape-Ups? I paid $129 and that was when they were doing a no-tax weekend!!!!!

I can't make subs at the gym!!

I bought them more for the comfort than wot they are s'pose to do for u workout wise......I work at Subway at the University of Windsor, I am on my feet for 4 to 5 hours, with my present shoes my feet and little toes really hurt at the end of my shift...so hoping these will help....but was just wondering if anyone had any back issues with them!!

they are waaaaaaaay cheaper in the US.....I paid $84 for 2 pairs of anti slip ones....I get $60 back from work!!

DandNHill

But I have no plans to go to the US for ages

Shall have to wait then or pay silly prices!!

Definitely worth wearing, no back problems at all

Yes they are the real deal and not knock offs.

I made a pretty spectacular job of breaking my ankle last Feb ... I bought my first pair of shape ups a couple of months later & they are great ... I hardly ever wear anything else Also I get way less pain than I did with my old trainers/runners
Lucky for me No2 child works in the footwear dept of a sport shop ... guess what I got for Crimbo

i hate them with a passion - they look like "special " shoes. Plus people insist on wearing them to the gym - you cant do a proper lunge in them.

Ha ha ... will be thinking about this next week when I'm back to work & on the 'special' bus with ma 'special' shoes

Just looked these up and they're £30 online in the UK.

What's special about them (as in how they're made - the site lists what they're supposed to do)?

I think it's because the older style ones look a bit like the wedges I used to wear back in my Marc Bolan days
