| I love mine!!! I think they do make a difference as I felt it the first times I wore them. They are so comfy! I also noticed when I would wear my flipflops that my feet hurt where before they didnt. I think by wearing the ShapeUps, it really did make a difference for me.

| I've been wearing them for a long time. They haven't done much for my weight, but my hips used to hurt real bad, and my knees and back, but not anymore. They seem to help with back and hip problems. My husband wears them too, same for him. We will continue to use them just for the pain relief. Though my husband did say that he noticed he had no pain at all snowboarding all season, and that is unusual for him, so maybe they are making us stronger. |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Where are you buying them from? I belong to the "Oh, my aching back" club of America! I've tried everything. And whenever I ask someone on YT about where to purchase.....I know it's cheating, because that someone has already done the research and found the best price. I'm not even a penny-pincher, but when I pay more than someone else.....it gags me HARD! |

| Haven't decided where I'll buy from. They seem to be around $100 everywhere. Thought about ordering, but, probably better to actually try them on first.

| Ive also noticed I stand up straight more.... Walmart and Avon has their own version of it. The ones at Walmart are like 35, Avon 50.

| I am so glad you started this thread!!! I plan to get a pair and was wondering if they were worth it. I've read the reviews, and they sound perfect. They're about $100 here also.

I've seen them advertised and wondered about them also. I have chronic back pain and wondered if it would help. I also though have a bad ankle so wonder if they would aggravate that. I think this is the target brand: Women's Trim Step Rosina Fitness Shoes - Black : Target

| so is an expensive brand any better than a cheaper one? Am I the only one who thinks they look dorky?

| I bought a pair about 1 month ago, and love them. They are very easy to walk and run in. Also they are very easy on my feet and they also help with by back issues. I have been losing weight with them, but then again I am also exercising more now that my foot and back do not hurt while doing it. Either way, for me, it is a win-win, would definitey put out the money again. |

No. you're not alone in that thinking! I'm not sure about the quality or benefits from one brand to another but Reebok has a pair for shaping up and they look a lot more 'normal' to me. I'll be checking them out this week. EasyTone Reeinspire - Reebok | |
