As I was walking trough Palm Beach Garden’s mall I found myself staring on a shoe store’s window (not Aldo), where the main item advertised was Sketcher’s shape up shoes! The latest invention on fitness outwear .Although they are sore of dorky looking, they are heavier than most athletic shoes, so you will burn little more calories per mile, as you simply walk.
They basically work by putting you off balance.
The heel is set slightly lower than normal shoes and the bottom of the shoe is curved, so your muscles are constantly working to keep you balanced.
Benefits of wearing shape ups:
- Promote weight loss: if you lace them up and get moving while also watching your diet.
- Reduce cellulite and tone thighs: walking in these shoes is allegedly great for the thighs
- Firm buttocks muscles.
- Improve posture.
Prices run from $110 to $140 depending on the model but if you go to Amazon there are offers from $98.
As shape ups become more popular, more colors and styles coming out to the market, not only there are shape ups sneakers but sandals, boots, flip-flops and more.
Whether they work or not, still remains as a question. Many people assure they have great results while many others disagree.
Missthinwallet resolution: I gave it lots of thinking and honestly shape ups are not in my shopping list quite yet...I’m not so convince with the style.
Love, missthinwallet
