User Reviews
This is one of the most comfortable Sketcher's shoes I have ever worn, especially for hiking. It is well made, with a durable sole, and it is easy to put on. I would highly recommend this shoe for casual wear and hiking.
Very comfortable, easy to put on - even if you need to use a fingertip to get the top of the heel to unfold.Worth the bother, since you get arch support in a shoe that's so comfortable you don't really want to take them off. I'll be looking for another pair of these, next time I need another pair of shoes.(plus, they come up high enough, I get away with not wearing socks!)
I live in Akron, Ohio- the home of Goodyear Headquarters and the Goodyear Airships. My neighbor works at Goodyear Racing, and that company is a source of pride and jobs for a lot of people. I was happily to find some shoes that are very comfortable, seem durable so far, and that give a shout-out to a brand synonymous with the city I love. They look good and fit great.If they hold up longer than Skechers normally do, I’ll change my rating to 5 stars!
I bought these of all the Skechers choices because of the Goodyear tread that promised to deliver better traction. I've had a chance to wear them on both wet and snow-covered surfaces and can say that they deliver traction beyond that of the regular Skechers. My driveway is sloped and I'm getting old so falling is a major concern and these give me the traction I need to negotiate the hill with confidence, so much so that I bought a 2nd pair as insurance for the future. And along with that, I get the comfort and cushioned feel of regular Skechers. Win-win.
These are awesome. All the comfort and support your feet need.
Shoe shopping for me used to be a complete nightmare. I'm among the 60% of adults with a left foot larger than my right. But, while the difference is typically 1cm or less, mine is more pronounced at 1/2" ... or a full half shoe size. Further, instead of being nicely aligned at 9-1/2 to 10 ... it's more 9-1/4 to 9-3/4. Making a size 10 shoe good for one foot but too long for the other ... while making size 9-1/2 then too short for one. It often takes weeks to discover if a particular shoe will work or not and, at its worse, half the shoes I bought had to stop wearing and, by then, I'd worn them too long to be able to return them. Very frustrating and painful. To make matters worse, big companies like Reeboks, Nike, and New Balance tend to switch to different factories from time-to-time. So, anytime I did find an exact brand and design of shoe that fit perfectly, I'd stick with it year after year until the latest factory products stopped fitting ... and I'd start the hunt all over for the next perfect shoe. That hunt thankfully stopped the moment I bought my first Skechers shoes and discovered that, regardless of the variety that I bought and regardless of the year I was buying them, they actually fit. Each and every pair. Regardless of whether they were sneakers or work shoes. Tie-ups or slip-ons. 9.5W is the magic number. Not only that, but, instead of having to replace them after just 1 year (or less), I've had some that lasted a year and a half and the last pair was at least 2 years if not 2 and a half. Unheard of for me in daily use shoes. The slip-on, non-leather varieties have definitely become my favorites. Convenient, flexible but durable materials, and inserts that I can use instead of having to replace. And, a special use purpose for a beach trip several years ago confirmed their made-to-wash shoes are exactly as advertised. After walking around on the beach in seawater, those shoes reeked until they were washed. And, all of the junk that had made them smell went away. Still have them for whenever I need them again. Skechers has definitely proven to be the perfect shoe brand for me.
It was too loose in the heel area. I find that a lot with Skechers shoes.
The shoes are somewhat comfortable. The side support is not good. They do not slip on.
