SKECHERS has signed a worldwide endorsement deal with Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana in support of Shape-ups fitness footwear through 2010.

“I truly believe in this product, which is why I’m looking forward to working with SKECHERS and sharing my Shape-ups experience with the world,” Montana said in a statement. “I spent 16 years on a football field — it was an amazing time, but also pushed my body to its limit. Since I started walking in Shape-ups, I have noticed an improvement in my core strength, and the pressure on my back and knees has eased.”

Shape-ups from SKECHERS are technical walking shoes designed to promote weight loss, tone muscles and improve posture. Shape-ups have a kinetic wedge midsole that simulates walking on a soft surface like sand, providing natural instability that causes the wearer to use more energy with every step. The men’s and women’s fitness footwear line is available in sporting goods, department and specialty athletic stores around the world.
