Sketchers Shape-Up shoes
Sketchers Shape-Up shoes
Has anyone tried the Sketchers Shape-Up shoes??
[quote="trumpet"]Bought a pair, found it to be a little uncomfortable.
BUT what I like about it is it looks GOOD & makes me look taller .....lol....[/quote
Do u think the shoes good for running? Usually I go for Nike and Asics running shoes. The reason why im looking at Skechers shoes as they mention about toning up while execersings or either walking.Not sure whethe it's comfort for jogging or gym workout?

I went to the Skechers's shop earlier on n tried it..final verdict,gonna put that $200 for something else..trumpet wrote:Have you tried them on before?
They are heavy so I dont think it'll be good for running-BUT then, I'm no runner myself so.......
I only walk in them.
First time I worn them, I felt a little giddy (that's expected ) after a while it's ok, I guess my body sort of adjusted to it.


Thanks for sharing..

Here's something you will find fun in Running Lab or any specialised sports shop: Get each shoe from NB and Asics of same size. Compare them side by side. You will realise that the NB has wider bridge while Asics has narrower one.Ladyleo wrote:Oh really?

An experienced marathoner I spoke to shared this info and I find it is true. Because I have small feet AND narrow bridge so the only shoes I can wear without getting wobbly at the side is Asics alone.
Yeah, even NIKE can't beat it!the lynx wrote:Here's something you will find fun in Running Lab or any specialised sports shop: Get each shoe from NB and Asics of same size. Compare them side by side.
