I purchased a pair of Skechers shape ups for our daughter for Christmas.  She has alot of back problems and will hardly take them off, because of the pain relief they provide. My husband also has problems with his back and legs and has had great relief while wearing his.  My son-in-law is a paramedic and has traded in this duty boots for a pair of black Skecher shape-ups and loves them.  The only thing we have found is that you need to order up one-half size.
Thank you Skechers for making my family feel so much better!
