Skechers Shape-ups are the best thing that has happened to Kim Kardashian and me.

Recently, I tried a pair of Shape-ups, and they were the best thing since Nike Dri-FIT socks. They were a little hard to get used to at first due to their different shape, but after a few steps, it was like walking in a normal pair of shoes.

The shoes promote weight loss, toned muscles and improved posture. Some are put off by the shoes because of their large size and big midsole, but the bigger midsole is the key because it makes it more difficult to walk in, making a normal walk a workout. Plus, the shoe giant is rolling out many better looking models for men, women and children.

I know at first I was slightly embarrassed by the marshmallow looking shoes, but it did not take long to get accustomed to them. The shoes are extremely comfortable on the foot and provide great cushion as you walk through the halls of KHS.

After a short walk in the shoes my calves, in particular, felt tight, and I stood more upright as I walked. Most shoes have a flat sole, but the key behind Shape-ups is the rocker built into the shoe’s sole. The bottom allows you to roll your foot from heel to toe as you walk. This puts more strain on your muscles and gives you a workout as you walk.

Although the shoes may be considered a fashion faux pas, they still deserve to be in everyone’s closets to provide a quick and easy workout. Bottom line, the shoes are amazing and if you wear them long enough you will get an appealing body like Kim Kardashian’s…and me.
