do those Sketchers shape up sneakers really work?

I would totally buy evidence suggesting they worked different muscle groups though, and even possibly helped correct posture a bit, and that would likely have some significant knock-on benefits if one currently had aches and pains exacerbated due to poor posture.

Yeah, honestly I think the biggest benefit has been to my back. I'm really conscious of my posture because of my back problems, but these somehow improve my posture even more when I'm walking. Don't know if that would benefit the average person, though.
 
Since I rarely wear any sort of sneaker, I can't say I'm particularly inspired to research the matter though. So overall, put me in the "apathetic agnostic" camp.

It's "apnostic" or "aptheist." Don't know. Don't care. It's like my wife's views on God.

Based on what they're doing with my posture, I'll bet wearing them perks your butt right up. :p

I like Apnostic. I'd start a cult for it, but I can't be bothered, and besides, I can't be sure it would really take off.

I'd sign up, but there'd probably be meetings or something involved, so meh.

We could probably run it from home, get someone else to send a few emails round occasionally...
