See Manhattan On Your Feet: Skechers Men's Shape-Ups X T - Rendition Recommended by Whom You Know! The Gentlemen Proudly Kick Off Their Coverage of Skechers!

As you know, the women of Whom You Know kicked off our inaugural coverage of Skechers in See Manhattan on Your Feet earlier this week, with the resistance runner:
http://www.whomyouknow.com/2010/09/see-manhattan-on-your-feet-womens.html
We have just as many men readers as women, so we had to test some of the hottest styles for men too! One of them is the Shape-Ups XT Rendition, which we recommend in Taupe/Black, and our panelist states:

This is my first Skechers experience, and at the suggestion of Peachy, I have been wearing the Skechers Rendition which boasts tremendous versatility with color choices in Taupe/Black. It can go with jeans or khakis, and they are perfect for jogging around the city as well. I do not have a large backside by any means, but I don't really give it much thought. I would give it much thought if it wasn't in shape however and if this applies to you, you need these sneakers. In all honesty, I don't think so many men are concerned with the "Shape-Up" aspect of any shoe and that idea appeals to women, however, upon trying this model I must say this impressive engineering definitely feels great and my joints do feel less stressed. Additionally, my posture is much better and I never really thought shoes could change that, but I stand corrected, no pun intended! The color scheme hides the inevitable dirt you encounter in Manhattan, so these will wear well. By the way, the XT in the model name refers to extended training, so this is especially key when you walk around with Peachy as you know you could be going for miles! With careful stitching and cool understated reflectors, this model will stylistically appeal to the prepster as well as the edgy downtown dude. As someone who mainly wears Nikes when not testing for Whom You Know, I must say I will add this pair to my collection proudly and wear them again and again! Whom You Know recommends the XT Rendition by Skechers!!!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
