The shape-ups shoes are some kind of sport tennis that are designed to improve posture, promote weight loss, increase cardiovascular health, etc.
The are sold by TV, but now you can buy in fitness and footwear stores.
Hope you can identify with this note the shoes.
No, they look like regular tennis shoes but with very thick soles. Reebok, Sketchers are a few brands and they are now available at most stores like Kohls, Pennys, Sports Authority, Big Five to name a few. In my opinion they are great. Be careful in getting used to them and they are not designed for running.
HI Guiditta, i just read a report that stated that the new toning shoes were no more beneficial than a good pair of walking shoes. It did state that if it gets a person out and walking that is a bonus. ...phyllis

i think some of these type of shoes can affect your balance and that is not a good thing- don't know if all of these types of shoes do this, but some do. it changes the way a person walks and can cause a person to fall
Thanks for your comments. In effect when I wear those shoes I do not feel 100% safe, I walk different. Better I'm going to give them to a young woman.
Regards
