Reviews

I promised to review these shoes for everyone when I purchased them.  So here you go:

For about 10 years now, I’ve had an excellent excuse for not getting up on my feet and getting more exercise.  I crushed them in a car accident that I also broke both my legs in.  Walking, running, and just long periods of standing on my feet sucks.

I’ve spent a ton of money on shoes over the years.  Tennis shoes, dress shoes, casual flats.  They all hurt.  There’s really nothing to be done about it.  From Wal-Mart to 9 West, I’ve bought and hated so many pairs of shoes that it’s kind of depressing.

About a month ago, I was looking for new sneakers on Amazon.com and ran across these Sketchers Shape-Ups (affiliate link) and read all 38 reviews.  Review after review made mention of people with back, leg, and feet problems who LOVED being on their feet in these shoes.  Even though I cringed when I saw the price, I ordered the shoes anyway.

It is hands-down the BEST money I have ever ever ever spent on shoes.  I feel like I could run in these shoes… something I haven’t felt in 10 years.  Walking in them is like walking in a cloud.  I go up and down stairs with ease… walk far longer than I ever have without pain.  I may never buy another brand of walking shoes again.

NOTE: The only bad reviews I’ve found of these shoes are by avid runners.  They are not marathoning shoes.  They are walking/workout shoes.
