Shoes are designed for many purposes – from protection on the job to performance on the track or court to special occasions and everyday lifestyle.

While SKECHERS is a global leader in the lifestyle footwear industry, we also believe in keeping in shape… and giving you the tools to do so. We believe Shape UpsTM are the answer to keeping fit in a busy lifestyle – a fitness shoe that fits your lifestyle and improves your life by walking and standing.

The design technology behind Shape Ups change the way you walk. As we move through our lives, we typically walk on hard surfaces, which places stress on our knee joints and lower back. People who are required to stand for their jobs feel the impact on their bodies the most, and don’t gain the benefits that come with all that activity.

Our goal with Shape Ups is to simulate walking on soft ground. We have turned hard surfaces into comfortable ground through revolutionary technology designed into the framework of the shoe. The core of this technology is in the dynamic rolling bottom, the soft foam insert under the heel, and the dual-density midsole. These three elements work together to give you the feeling of walking on sand or luxurious pile carpet – regardless of the actual surface.

Walking on softer, uneven surfaces forces you to engage muscles not normally used when walking on hard ground. Not only does this strengthen your muscles, but it also increases blood flow and reduces the impact on your joints and lower back.

• Midsole: Firm polyurethane frame designed to support and stabilize the foot.

• Sockliner: Soft EVA insole designed to protect the foot.

• Upper: Superior quality, well- padded uppers of durable leather and breathable mesh designed to provide needed support and supreme comfort.

BareFoot siMulation on soFt ground

Designed to improve your life by changing the way you walk, Shape UpsTM feature a unique soft kinetic wedge insert and dynamic rolling bottom to simulate walking barefoot on a giving surface that gives such as sand. With the comfort of Shape Ups, you will feel your heel sink to the ground as you step, roll forward as your weight shifts to its center, and push off with your toes. This movement will result in stronger leg, buttock, back and abdominal muscles as you stabilize your steps.

Due to this unconventional manner of walking, we suggest you moderate your walking routine in Shape Ups for the first week or two (25 to 45 minutes per day), depending on your level of fitness. As you continue to wear your Shape Ups, your body will adjust to this new method of walking. You will find it easy and comfortable while still enjoying the strengthening and cardiovascular benefits.

Walking is a form of endurance exercise – which means it strengthens your heart, helps your lungs work more efficiently, and increases your stamina. Also a weight-bearing exercise, it helps strengthen your bones and muscles, and maintain joint flexibility.

Shape UpsTM are designed to enhance the benefits of walking by stimulating muscles not utilized with standard walking shoes. They also reduce the impact on joints by providing a more natural, forgiving walking surface. Walking on a soft surface may seem awkward at first, but your body will compensate by activating muscles in your legs, buttocks, back and stomach to center your body, resulting in improved coordination and posture, stronger muscles, and increased blood flow.

Shape Ups will have a positive impact on you physically. Regular use of Shape Ups help you sleep better and can play an important role in combating stress. It’s as easy as walking in Shape Ups.

Shape up while you stand:Conventional footwear does not provide proper support or aid in correct posture for long periods of standing. With Shape UpsTM, the simulation of soft ground will ease the stress on your joints, promote correct posture and strengthen your leg, buttock, back and abdominal muscles as you naturally work to keep your centerof balance.

To properly stand in your Shape Ups, stand upright and find your center of balance with your feet parallel and hip distance apart. To promote circulation, follow one or more of the exercises detailed on page 15 of this booklet.

Shape up while you walkTM:To walk correctly with Shape Ups, step forward with the middle section of your heel hitting the ground first. This should give you the feeling of walking on soft ground. Roll forward onto the ball of your foot and then the flat part of your toes.

Your stance should not be wide as you walk. Your front foot should still be under your body, giving you a natural and comfortable step. This rhythmic and easy gait will help you maintain your balance.

As you walk in Shape UpsTM, be aware of the position of your shoes and ankles. Your ankles should not roll or bend inward or outward, but remain parallel.

The position of your back and neck should also be straight. Do not look down; look ahead to where you are going. This will keep your posture straight, resulting in a tightening of your back and stomach muscles, and the lengthening of your body into a leaner line.

Exaggerated movements are part of some walking routines (such as knee raises), but with Shape Ups, your movements should be fluid and smooth.

While a natural pace is best for everyday walking, we suggest you switch up your gait – slowing down to focus on your steps, or kicking it up a notch to get your blood flowing.

13

Shape UpsTM are not like other athletic shoes. This is a new way to walk and exercise.• As with any new exercise, start with moderation. We recommend 25 to 45 minutes (based on your strength and existing exercise plan) on your first two days. Increase your walking time in Shape Ups in 5 – to 10 – minute increments, depending on your comfort level and strength.

getting started:step-BY-step guide

Correct Walking Method Caption A

To achieve maximum potential in your Shape Ups, follow this step-by-step guide.

• Find your center of balance. Shape Ups have a dynamic rolling bottom and a kinetic wedge heel insert, both of which will make you feel unstable at first. Place your feet hip distance apart, stand straight with a firm back and your shoulders back. Imagine a wire through your body to the center ofyour feet.

• Heel, roll and toe push. Step in the middle of the soft foam heel, roll forward, and push off with your toes. (see caption A)

• Maintain your focus with a straight back and posture, looking ahead at what’s to come, not where you have stepped.

• Keep your center of balance with a straight back, shoulders rolled open and knees strong, but not locked. If you feel your feet rolling in to the point where your knees are ready to knock, shift your weight to the outside edges of your Shape Ups to maintain your balance.

get in the routine

1. Kick Back: Stand upright and place feet parallel and hip distance apart, balance centered. Roll your weight onto the back of the soft foam heel – hold for a count of five and then back to the center. Do not lock knees or tip backward. Stretches calf and hamstrings. Repeat 5 to 10 times.

2. Rock and Roll: Stand upright and place feet parallel and hip distance apart, balance centered. Roll your weight forward so you are balancing on the underside of your toes – hold for a count of two, then slowly rock back to the soft heel – hold for a count of two, and then back to your center of balance. Do not lock knees or tip backward. Stretches calf and hamstrings, warms up Achilles and ankles. Repeat 5 to 10 times.

3. Roll and Rock and Roll: Follow the Rock and Roll stretch, but alternate feet so one is rolling to the toes and one is rocking back. Repeat 5 to 6 times.

4. The Lean: Place your hands on a wall, parallel and slightly above your head. With one leg in front of the other and your arms forward, press with your palms as if you were leaning on the wall. Keep your back leg straight and your front foot on the floor, then bend the front leg and lean forward by moving your hips toward the wall. Hold for a count of five, then repeat on the other side. Stretches calf and Achilles. Repeat 5 to 6 times.

Warming up and cooling down are important parts of your exercise routine, and should begin and end every session.
