Skechers has stormed into the calorie burning marketplace with the Skechers Shape Up line for men and women and they are really catching on! Skechers is well known as being a great casual shoe brand and they've been steadily growing into a fitness and performance brand as well. With the development and success surrounding the Shape Ups, they are now sure to solidify their place among the premier fitness brands in this space.
In fact, Skechers purportedly worked with a Doctor to run a six week clinical trial to see what impact Skechers Shape Ups actually had on people who wore them. On average, without changing any other aspect of their diet and exercise regimen, Skechers reported an average 3+ lb weight loss and a 1.1% overall reduction in body fat. Added to the weight loss was the improved strength of glutei and low back endurance because of the muscle activation prompted by the rocker outsole.
