Sketchers Shape Ups – Toning footwear
They’re the latest shoe craze to hit the scene and Viva La Diva is proud to be a stockist of the famous Sketchers Shape Ups. There are so many fitness footwear brands that claim to have toning and balancing benefits, and Sketchers Shape Ups are among these.
They are designed to change the way you walk using a wedge insert that creates a rolling bottom that simulates the effect of walking on sand. This movement is believed to help strengthen the legs, bottom, back and abdominal muscles as you stablise your steps. As you walk wearing Sketchers Shape Ups your heel will sink into the ground, roll forward in the centre and push off with your toes.
Here are some of the benefits of Sketchers Shape Ups:
- Improves posture
- Improves blood circulation
- Tightens abdominal muscles
- Strengthens the back
- Firms buttock muscles
- Firms leg muscles
- Firms thigh muscles
- Reduces knee joint stress
- Firms calf muscles
Sketchers Shape Ups have a unique design that incorporates numerous features. The upper is made from well-padded leather and suede with breathable mesh. The sockliner is a removable insole for arch support, cushioning for comfort and antibacterial treatment. The midsole is a firm polyurethane frame to stablise the foot. The kinetic wedge is a soft foam for shock absorption while exercising the core muscles. The outsole is made from long lasting rubber that adds to the biomechanical movement and helps move you into your next step.
It is recommended that you moderate your walking routine in Sketchers Shape Ups in the first week or two, spending approximately 25 to 45 minutes a day in them. As you continue to wear them, your body will adjust to the new way of walking and you will find it easy and comfortable.
