I brought these shoes, because they sounded like the perfect shoes for shaping up, but what they don’t tell you is that they rock by and forth, and when you stand still, you need to stand with you legs apart, other wise you will fall backwards. I would actually like to send these back and get some other shoes, because I feel these shoes are dangerous. They are not true to size, you need to go up a size, and they aren’t very comfortable. I usually love sketcher shoes, I would like to get the baby doll style shoe that is a shape up, because it has a flat bottom. I take a size 6 if they are true to size, if not I need a size 6.5. I hope you can help me with the sketcher company, and if you do I will write the best review for a company ever. Because I get a lot of people asking me if I like these shoes, and right now I say they are great, but I could start telling people that they are not. So here is my review the shoes with the rocker bottoms are dangerous.

I’m not sure whether the shoes work or not because the sizing was so off I sent them back. I am consistently a woman’s size 10. I was so disappointed when I received the shoes. They were the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever put on. I sent them back immediately. I wish they would be honest with the sizing and state they run small. What a waste of time.

I was always attracted to such a shoe, however, did not have the money to spend. Here is my solution and I am grateful. This is a brand that I had experience in, that I trust and think this is fine!

My doctor said these are the best for my feet. I don’t notice a difference as far as my muscles ect., but they work for what the doctor had in mine.
I should have put a protector on them to protect them for dirt & stains. I suggest that if you buy the suede type, buy protector & cleaner at the same time. After the fact cleaning doesn’t seem to help.

This is advertised as a tool to promote muscle activity. It is recomended to only wear the shoes for short periods when first getting used to them because you’ll feel your muscles burning. I cannot feel a thing. They don’t feel much different than the platform volatiles I used to wear in highschool.
I have back problems and was looking forward to something that would help tone and build the muscles that support my hips and back, but when the shoe does not deliver what is advertised I am skeptical that it works at all. Time will tell if my gait and posture improves, but I’ve worn these hours on end and felt no difference.
I do not have foot problems so I cannot attest to that aspect, but my regular cross trainers seem a little more comfortable for my feet.
The idea of having a curved bottom shoe that squishes flat when you walk on it seems redundant to me.
If I was going to bother to plunk down $100+ dollars for a shoe in the first place I wish I’d put a bit more down and tried the MBTs.
(I don’t usually write reviews but I’m a little annoyed by these shoes)
