I bought the same kind of shoes, different brand: “Champion,” and I have Tendonitis, very painfull. I have to wear an orthopedic boot, I don’t know for how long. The cost of foot doctor appointments, medicine (desinflamatories), and not being able to work 100% has been frusterating. I also have not been able to go to the gym or out for a walk because of the tendonitis.

I bought a similar product, Fit Flops, and they also made similar claims with non-existant results. They should be next! I bought a couple pairs and they were $$$$!!!
I remember running out paying right at $100 for the shape ups thinking how awesome they would be to workout in. I still have those same shoes I bought several years ago…why? because not only could I not walk right in them without almost falling but they did not do what was claimed I was very disappointed. So, I faithfully gave Sketchers another chance with the tone ups and same thing just not as bulky of a shoe. Those shoes are dangerous literally. I fell a few times in my shape ups and one time my foot bent sideways causing slight sprain . I was so hopeful in these shoes but to pay that much I should have listened to my step mom and bought the less expensive ones at that time and I would not have felt duped.
I bought these damn shoes and my butt has never looked better. I can’t keep the girls off me. Where do I sign up for the class action for harassment!
I also purchased the shape ups.
I purchased toning shoes from HSN which were manufactured by GrassHoppers and were advertised to do the same as Schetchers. I fell 3 times while wearing them and was wondering if any class action was started ?
I almost broke my neck wearing those shoes. I did get shin splints. i wore them 3 weeks
What about “fit flops?”. I bought two pairs of these shoes (expensive) and they made the same claims that Sketchers did.
I pucched the shape up rocker skechers 3years ago I still have them I have had a lot of problems with my legs. I was limping alot with these shoes. Please let me know if there is any thing i can do about ithis.
Thank You
