We’re a company you’ve trusted for more than 15 years. br / br / br //p/td /tr /tbody /table div align="left" pstrongThe design technology behind Shape Ups changes the way you walk./strongbr / As we move through our lives, we typically walk on hard surfaces, which places stress on our knee joints and lower back. People who are required to stand for their jobs feel the impact on their bodies the most, and don’t gain the benefits that come with all that activity.br / br / The goal with Shape Ups was to simulate walking on soft ground. SKECHERS has turned hard surfaces into comfortable ground through revolutionary technology designed into the framework of the shoe. The core of this technology is in the dynamic rolling bottom, the soft foam insert under the heel, and the dual-density midsole. These three elements work together to give you the feeling of walking on sand or luxurious pile carpet--regardless of the actual surface. Walking on softer, uneven surfaces forces you to engage muscles not normally used when walking on hard ground. Not only does this strengthen your muscles, but it also increases blood flow and reduces the impact on your joints and lower back./p pDesigned to improve your life by changing the way you walk, Shape Ups feature a unique soft kinetic wedge insert and dynamic rolling bottom to simulate walking barefoot on a giving surface that gives such as sand. With the comfort of Shape Ups, you will feel your heel sink to the ground as you step, roll forward as your weight shifts to its center, and push off with your toes. This movement will result in stronger leg, buttock, back and abdominal muscles as you stabilize your steps./p /div pimg alt="SKECHERS Shape Ups" border="0" height="154" hspace="20" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/shoes/shape_ups/walking-diagram.jpg" vspace="20" width="400" //p pemstrongBarefoot walking simulation on soft ground/strong br / br / /em/p ul li div align="left"The heel sinks comfortably into the soft ground as you step/div /li li div align="left"You naturally roll forward as your weight shifts to the center and your balance is centered/div /li li div align="left"Easily push off with your toe pads/div /li /ul div align="left"Due to this unconventional manner of walking, we suggest you moderate your walking routine in Shape Ups for the first week or two (25 to 45 minutes per day), depending on your level of fitness. As you continue to wear your Shape Ups, your body will adjust to this new method of walking. You will find it easy and comfortable while still enjoying the strengthening and cardiovascular benefits./div img alt="Shape ups walking diagram" border="0" height="481" hspace="20" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/shoes/shape_ups/walking-diagram-shoe._V224016037_.jpg" vspace="20" width="190" / div align="left" pstrongGet in the Routine/strongbr / br / strong1.
