Mr sjl felt sore in the rear area
when we first used them but I didn't. I've tried them for several walks and IMHO it doesn't seem to do as promised. It has 4 layer soles for supposedly more cushion and comfort but after a 2.5 mile walk, my feet felt slightly sore. Haven't used them again for the last couple of months.
They now have new shorter Skechers that are supposedly made for running and jogging. I was told before that you should only use the taller shape-ups for walking but now I was told you can also use them for jogging and running too if you are used to wearing them.
