Launch of the Year: Skechers' Shape-Ups

“Skechers isn’t the only brand that’s successful [in toning and fitness footwear],” said analyst Matt Powell of SportsOneSource, “but they’re the most successful.” In fact, Powell estimates that less than a year after launching the brand, Skechers has an 80 percent market share of what he calculates to be a $150 million domestic toning business. (Other analysts set their estimates a little lower, but several peg the potential for Shape-Ups sales domestically in 2010 to be $100 million.)
