Do any of you use Skechers trainers (tone up, shape up...)

[IDugUpADiamond]

Are they any good?
I'm tempted because I'm really short and they seem to have a bit of a wedge. I know, vain, but I can't help it; all my walking partners are extremely tall!!

Yes, I have two pairs (shape ups) and they're great. I wear mine because I have plantar fasciitis, but they do make you look taller

sold!!
thanks hidden

Yes, they look okay. I get mine off ebay and have never had any problems. I got a good bargain on some leather ones once

They are vair comfy and they do actually tone your bum and thighs. My legs are a lot stronger now than they were and I can walk for miles in them. I have a pair for work and a pair for everyday use. You can also buy sandals, but they don't add as much to your height.

Thanks hidden, one more question, do you find them to be true to size?

What size are you after? I have some in a 7, I've only worn them a few times. I don't like the extra height they give me! I prefer to wear converse most of the time these days. They are the metabolize ones I think.

Hi Daddy I'm a size 5 but have wide feet so wonder if I might need a 5.5

Oh mine would be massive on you then! My other skechers (flex) are a 6 I think but I'm sure my feet have shrunk cos 6 used to be tight and all my size 7 shoes are too big now. I'm not sure how that happened!

They fit quite big. I'm a 5.5 but a 5 fits me fine.

I have a pair of shapeups in a dolly style with strap over. I don't like them. They are really heavy to wear and too hot for summer,imo. I wear them for zumba but won't wear them outside as they are hideous. I have small feet, however, a 3. And cankles. Somehow I look even more cankly in them.

I have had 2 pairs. I definitely noticed the difference when I first started walking in them - mainly my calves, but my core strength has improved a lot too. That might be more down to circuits though!

I used to walk long distances in them so I sized up half a size as your feet swell a bit when walking a lot.
