Do you wear Skechers "Shape-Ups" or one of the many other brand knock-offs? If so, you probably won't be happy to hear that Skechers is now being sued for fraud and dangers of injuries wearing such shoes. See report I've provided below.

YES, I wear or have worn those shoes [comment as you wish].

They are difficult to walk in when using stairs but they are still fairly comfortable. I have read some of the articles on them and now think its best my flat feet find new shoes.

I bought a pair because someone told me they were good for your legs..I wore them a couple of times and they hurt my legs so bad I refused to wear them anymore. So they are in my closet..still looking brand new. No way will I wear them again!

Show her the link to the lawsuit info. Maybe she can request that her name be added as a co-plaintiff in that class action.

The idea is to create a rocking motion as you land on the rounded off heel. I first saw that design on a Korean shoe manufacturer's ad. Then Skechers started marketing them. Many other shoe companies sell similarly-styled shoe knock-offs.

Well that is an odd looking shoe. It looks a bit like a platform sneaker.

The design forces the rocking motion from heel to toe.

My ex-wife fell for them. I tried warning her, but she wouldn't listen. And she swears her foot and leg soreness isn't being caused by her Shape-Ups.

I was first tipped off about the potential injuries Skechers Shape-Ups can cause by a shoe store owner who explained to me why he refused to carry them.

Since then I've seen many other shoe brands with their own version of the Shape-Ups, same design, but with a different name.

They look like they might hurt my feet and legs. Maybe is you only wore them an hr a day but all day. I think they would hurt you.
