Got my check last week for $174. It doesn’t compare to the false hope I had for the wear but I guess it beats nothing.
So r checks going out or what..???????
I have yet to receive a check and I filed 05.22.2012
Filed on 5/17/12 the next day it was aired but the website doesn’t indicate that checks were mailed but I did hear on news last week that checks were being mailed out. I wonder why website doesn’t say anything. For those who received on 8/11 did you filed on 5/17 just want to have an idea. Tx
How will I know if I will NOT get a check? I filed a claim, my huband and I both and have not heard anything from anyone! I have very bad knees from these shoes…. can hardly walk up a flight of steps without horrible pain in my knees…. I just want to know IF we will be reimbursed!
Got my check today too, for $122 and some change
I received my check today.
I googled ‘shape ups and pinched nerve’ and this thread came up, i have terrible lower back problems and a shooting painful nerve pain down my legs and sometimes my arms. Ive been wearing this shape ups for about 2 months! Never again ! I liked how they made me an extra 2 inches taller! :/
So how many of you who are complaining about the shoes have done a single thing to contribute to the class action against Skechers other than want some money? Few if any I would bet. Those mentioning other brands with similar claims as skechers don’t mention anything you have done to gain resolution. Instead of just propping up your sore feet and complaining do something or move on.
I bought 2 pairs of Shape-Ups, 1 for myself and 1 for my daughter. Thankfully, my daughter didn’t wear them much, just made her too tall. hahaha!! Unfortunately, though, I wore them all the time. Well, that’s something I seriously regret now. After many months of wearing the Shape-Ups, my right ankle and foot (fascia) started killing me. Went to see a foot and ankle surgeon who immediately asked me about the shoes. He said that he had been hearing a lot of complaints about people’s ankles who were wearing the Shape-Ups. For me, the damage had been done. I had to have surgery for the torsal tunnel syndrome that the shoes had caused because of the constant stretching on the ankle. After a VERY PAINFUL and LONG 4 months after surgery, I, finally no longer have pain in my right ankle. But, now, even though I haven’t wore the Shape-Ups in awhile, my left ankle/achilles, feels permanently pulled, and somewhat achy. Hopefully this goes away with time …. I can’t even stand the thought of having to have another surgery. OMG, I would die! Anyway, whatever you do, NEVER WEAR SHAPE-UPS!!
