Prowalker quality downgrade2
I have been buying a pair of white Rockport Prowalkers for ten or twelve years and have remained loyal to the brand because of the excellent wear they gave me and their superb comfort. Something has changed recently in this series of shoes. The leather is much stiffer and the shoes are just not as comfortable. They still give good arch support and the assembly quality seems okay, but only time will tell how they hold up to daily use. I hope Rockport returns to their high standards of manufacturing in the future. I'll probably look for something else when it's time to replace these. The color white is more like an ivory color now. Before they were pure white.

Accept No Substitute5
About 10 years ago my feet started to complain due to irritated nerves (people with diabetes understand); orthotics helped; sneakers helped too but I needed dressier shoes too. These shoes, in black, did the trick. I've tried many others, with some success, but these shoes win the prize. I buy 3 pairs at a time and rotate them - the older pairs for casual/rough wear and the newest pair goes into the courtroom (lawyers are people too, mostly). If I ever hear they are being discontinued, I may rent storage space so I can buy out the stock in my size. I own 1 pair of dressy shoes that I can wear 2 or 3 hours; but for 15 hour days, there is no substitute. Like white shirts, these shoes simplify shopping and wardrobe selection.

Rockport ProWalker1
The service for this was fine. No complaints. However, the shoe itself is another thing. First, I chose white. When it arrived, it was an off-white. My husband was willing to live with that. But then, after wearing the shoes a couple of times, he said they were extremely uncomfortable. We have purchased Rockport ProWalkers in the past & loved them. This was quite a disappointment.

Those shoes are so confortable!!5
My New Balance are so confortable for walk and for work.
Nothing like my New Balance black shoes.

Love these shoes!5
I'd buy another pair in a heartbeat. They're comfortable and relatively durable. I've worn out several pair (earlier models, though) over the last eight years. I'll continue buying them, as long as New Balance keeps making them.

Driver for FedEx5
Very good comfortable shoe for the type of job I have. Would recommend to anyone that does alot of walking.

Outstanding!5
These shoes are great! Plenty of support, excellent sole protection, plenty of room in the toebox, extremely comfortable, and very rugged. The only downside is that the soles are not very grippy on ice.

Overall, I think these make outstanding walking or light hiking shoes, and are comfortable enough to wear all day for any activity.

Good Shoes5
Really good shoes. I have to wear thick custom insoles and require a shoe with a big toe box so that my feet aren't crowded. You can't tell from the picture but this shoe (in EEE)) has got plenty of room.
In my work, I am on my feet more than eight hours a day with only a few minutes to sit down. I've owned other New Balance shoes that were as comfortable but none that were more so. I highly recommend them.

Walking Shoe5
I am on my feet all day on concrete surfaces, so I was looking for a shoe that would cushion the impact. This shoe is well made, more like a lite weight boot to me, the upper is stiff out of the box, but will soften after use. The sole has provided the comfort I was looking for, my feet are no longer fatigued and aching after wearing them all day long

Just What My Feet Need!5
I have been buying these New Balance shoes for about 4 years and won't even consider buying a different shoe. After being diagnosed with plantar fascitis by my podiatrist years ago, I learned that good shoes are a must have. These shoes are very comfortable and give my foot all the support it needs. Another thing that is important about this shoe is the rollbar which controls pronation.

The best tennis shoe ever5
New Balance is the best Tennis shoe I've ever worn. And, it is the 800 series that I've been wearing for the last nine years. It's the only tennis shoe I can wear where my toes don't cramp and cross causing me much pain. I used to do a lot of 10K walks and ended up having a problem with my feet. Someone told me about these and so I bought them. From the moment I put them on and put my orthodics inside, I felt a huge relief. These are the only ones I can wear. They are a bit pricey but comfortable.

exactly what I needed5
I researched the style shoe and this shoe lived up to exactly what it promised. An unexpected positive thing is the tongue of the shoe is anchored on each side with elastic. That keeps it from sliding to one side or the other while walking. They looked smaller than my other shoes when I got them, but they are exactly the same size. With feet as big as mine, I need all the optical illusions I can get. I get a lot of compliments on them.

There’s a lot to be said about familiarity and credibility. When buying SKECHERS, you know you are getting style and quality at a reasonable price. We’re a company you’ve trusted for more than 15 years.


The design technology behind Shape Ups changes 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.

The goal with Shape Ups was to simulate walking on soft ground. SKETCHERS has 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.

Designed to improve your life by changing the way you walk, Shape Ups 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.

SKETCHERS Shape Ups

Barefoot walking simulation on soft ground

  • The heel sinks comfortably into the soft ground as you step
  • You naturally roll forward as your weight shifts to the center and your balance is centered
  • Easily push off with your toe pads
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.

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.
