they hold up nicely and very comfortably
January 28, 2017
I am a large guy, I weigh 350+ lbs. I stand 10 hours a day at work and walk nearly 8 miles daily while I am there. New shoes after a month wear out in my workplace. Between my size and the amount of use and wear these Sketchers get, they hold up nicely and very comfortably. I have tried other more expensive shoes, and adding shoe inserts, the gels, the $50 molded inserts from the kiosk in walmart, They help for some time, but after a month I either have to buy more inserts, or another pair of shoes. Every 4 months or so the memory foam in these shoes is no longer functional and starts to turn into a powder, and I go online and order another set. I have purchased multiple of these because they seem to last the longest while remaining comfortable. If you are not 6' 8" 350 lbs. and dont walk 15,000 steps in a day on hard concrete floors, These shoes will probably last longer.

Soles are falling off
July 9, 2018
I like the fit and style of these Sketchers. The reason I bought this particular pair in August 2017 was because I had the exact same pair that lasted years under rigorous daily use. Unfortunately although these sneakers look and fits the same, the quality leaves a lot to be desired even though I have treated this pair more gently and wear them less frequently than the previous pair.
Not sure if this is a one-off problem or indicative of diminished quality control in general but after about six months both soles started coming apart from the top part of the sneaker with the right sneaker being the worst (see attached photo). I wanted to inform the manufacturer directly and give them an opportunity to replace this defective pair but there doesn't appear to be any way to share feedback with them except through this public forum.

I've had these shoes for a several months now and I think they are ok. They fit well but not great for walking let alone running in my opinion. They don't snug up to your heels, ankles and tend to slide around. The memory foam is very comfy and feels good when standing for long periods but it's already started falling apart from normal daily wear, chunks of foam have torn out of my right shoe, the left seems to be fine for now. I'd buy these shoes again if I was wanting something comfy to stand in and didn't want to spend much.

These shoes are very comfortable. I often spend 6-8 hours a day on my feet and these keep my feet from getting sore. They are not made the best though. The memory foam insert turned into dust within 2 months on both pairs of these I've owned. I put a gel pad insert by dr schols in them. After about 6 months of daily wear they come unglued at the front and sides. You can re glue them with Shoe goo a couple of times before they are finally ca put. For what they cost they are good shoes. If you invest a few bucks in inserts and glue you can get about a year out of them. I've moved on to a similar Sckecher shoe without the memory foam.

I ordered these based on excellent customer reviews because the Reeboks I've worn for 20 years (most recently the DMX model) are no longer available. I used to buy them two at a time to combat potential obsolescence. Two pairs would last me for 1 year for my five-day-a-week 2-mile walks. Why do shoe companies kill a winner?
Skechers are too large. I am keeping them because I can make them work by putting in an additional set of insoles to take up the space. The Skechers are also much more clunky. I am already looking forward to them wearing out so I can buy something else.

Apparently this shoe will fall apart within a couple of months. However this is a review that is about the initial comfort of and wearability the shoe. It has NO heel pull tab...so that means the heel will wear out fairly quickly unless you use a shoe horn. The insole squishes a bit too much and again with all that movement it will wear out more quickly. While the exterior material seems woven.. there is some kind of lining between, so the shoe is NOT breathable. I find it too get pretty hot, pretty quick. I usually walk around 15-20 miles a week on a flat "boardwalk" at the beach and other times on dirt trails. My last shoes were New Balance and were replaced only because the soles finally were worn smooth. I will try to update when wear starts happening. Wish I would have know how hot they get, Hope this helps.

Tip: Buy well below your typical size. I usually wear a 11 or 10.5, but I finally ended up with a 10 and it still feels a bit too big. They're also pretty darn slippery, especially at first, though over time the memory foam will do its work to make that a bit less of an issue.
That said, they're also very comfortable. If you're just walking around or running straight ahead, you'll probably be fine. But if you were, say, trying to play basketball or doing anything that involved quickly changing directions, you can probably find a better pair of shoes. They look pretty solid too, which is somehow rare to find with sneakers.

I wear size 11-3E (measured and re-measured), so these 11-4E should be wide enough, but they're still a little bit too narrow. Skechers has apparently quit making the the casual shoes and work shoes that I previously bought and love. Now that my old work shoes have worn out, these are the closest I can find for work that fit well enough - although they're uncomfortably narrow after a few hours and aren't really work shoes (not slip resistant).
I know my feet aren't the problem because my old Skechers have all fit great and I have no other trouble with my feet. Up until last year I'd work 12-hours shifts on my feet on concrete hard at it 3-6 days per week in my work Skechers without any problem. I've often walked around comfortably all day without any trouble in my casual Skechers - even visiting amusement parks and stuff like that. Plus, I walk my dog twice a day in just flip flops or Crocks without any discomfort. (Wide feet are good like that.)
I would wear my casual Skechers to work, but not now - knowing how apparently not replaceable they currently are. I tried the closest slip-resistant work Skechers I could find, but they were painfully narrow - mostly do to some poorly placed stitching over the sides of the toes.
These at least don't have that stitching, but my pinky toes are still soar and red from only 6-8 hours of work.

I was looking for a work shoe for my job where I work around a lot of houses in the process of being built. Although these shoes are very light and very comfortable they definitely are NOT meant for working. The bottoms are very very soft, I actually had a small piece of weed eater string stuck in the bottom of mine from where I stepped on the end and it pierced the bottom of the shoe. These shoes do not breathe very well like I had wanted and leave my feet very hot and sweaty at the end of the day. Overall a great shoe but just use these for walking around town.

The fit is large, I wear a 14 1/2 on certain brands, 15 on others. I ordered these in size 15 and they are large and wide on my feet. Initially I thought these were the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, and the memory foam definitely works well. When I took these out hiking, however I found the problems with these shoes: first, hiking created a great deal of friction to my feet, causing them to get very very warm, almost hot. Second, the fabric that covers the memory foam likes to roll when the foam compresses, which feels exactly like you have a small stone in your shoe. The solution I decided on was to add a Dr. Scholl's insert to the bottom of these, which made them much more comfortable for hiking, and only a bit less comfortable for standing in.

I have purchased Skechers several times so not sure this evaluation is for the same pair of Skechers that Amazon is requesting that I evaluate. Amazon is not providing SIZE of shoes or DATE of purchase on this solicited evaluation. Sometime ago, I did have a pair of Sketchers that turned out to be much too narrow, sized 8.5/7.5 as I recall, but not wide enough for me. I abandoned them after awhile because they were too narrow. The Sketcher's I am presently wearing are marked 9.5/8.5. The width is fine. Is Amazon asking me to evaluate the shoes that fit or the shoes that didn't fit. THE RATING FURNISHED HERE IS FOR THE SHOES THAT DID NOT FIT.

My son has been wearing the shoes for less than one month. They are very comfortable and he loves them. The problem is that a huge chunk of foam where his big toe sits just fell out of the insole. It is now very uncomfortable as his toe sits in the hole. He just walks in them and they are not even his daily shoe. Definitely shouldn't be falling apart after 1 month.
