All I want any more is comfortable shoes. These shoes are comfortable. I don't know whether they tone your legs or butt or not and I do not care. I need cushion for arthritic feet and these Skechers Shape-ups work. I've learned from experience that Skechers run short - I normally wear a women's US 7 M  (W if I can get it). In Skechers I need a 7.5 and M works fine.

The lump in the middle of the foot is a bit disconcerting at first and since it was not hard, I got used to it. (This lump is the part that is supposed to tone your legs.)

I like that they look dressy enough for work yet feel more like an athletic shoe. (Our office is mostly business casual with the upper echelons in full formal business and the lower layers in whatever they can get away with, so I aim for the middle to upper end.)
