Skechers Men's Equalizer Persistent Slip-On Sneaker Review

This shoe is a win! Easy to get on and easy to get off while staying in place without feeling too tight or too loose. Perfect fit and looks great! The support is very thick but compacts down after the first few days as the shoe molds to your foot. Easy to break-in and looks great doing it.

My husband loves his shoes so much. He says they are super comfortable, supportive n perfect. He works from home even before the ongoing Covid pandemic. These are the most excellent quarantine shoes on another level. What makes these shoes SO DIFFERENT n why my Husband calls them his "GO TO SHOE" is cuz of their duality n versatility. They can go from an at-home leisure slipper to a regular shoe, all n an instan with the convenience of an all-n-one situation. I HIGHLY recommend these particular Skechers to any of the guys or their Wives looking for the perfect clutch gift! Stay safe n comfy!

(Little update at bottom)I never normally do reviews this soon after I get sneakers for the first time, but I would say I REALLY like these sneakers... they look good and feel great, with one exception (still not sure if i will keep these, right now) ... width wise, pre-Skechers I always went with wide-width but never had to with Skechers and overall they feel great on that front. The problem is as GREAT (say the memory foam) as they feel ... they seem to "run big" ... ironically the right sneaker I have feels like it's a little bit longer "on my foot" than the left. I have to admit I have a few no-name brand (not sure what size) "slip on sneakers" that were given to me and this is my first pair from Skechers (usually go with typically "tied" sneakers, here) ...I typically go with 13s ... and I know 12's (there are no 12.5's in these) are going to be too tight... or at least I rather not take a chance, returning these, get 12's to test them and find out the 13's were better.I have sneakers to wear out on long walks, and I didn't get these "to just use" around the house, but now I am trying to find some DIY solutions .. like putting some sort of padding in the back when i wear these, so it doesn't FEEL like they are going to slip off ... maybe size 12's (one size down from my typical sneaker size) would be ok ... but ... i think I am more disappointed in this problem because other than that, I love these already ... of course I cant speak for longevity yet or how long these are going to last.I hate to sound like I am given these a bad review ... really if it wasn't for the size issue that I may "DIY Fix" ... I'd give these a 5 out of 5 so far. heck even if there was a 12.5 in this model (half a size down for me) ... I still may say "the 13's are lose but they do feel better than the 12.5s".I would say MAYBE ... IF POSSIBLE ... try these on in the stores first ... just to make sure the size is right for you. I have had my eyes on this model/type of Skechers for a long time and overall I do like the fit (minus that one issue) and despite some saying "they look horrible" (i mean you can see the pictures of them before you order, of course) .. I think they look great too.Update: After trying some old boots from a different brand that didn't fit quiet correct .... I have had foot issues for the past few days, and to be honest the only reason i am bringing that up is the fact that these sneakers are the ONLY ones I have been able to wear for a few days and after at least 3 days of say two to four and half mile walks as I usually do ... When I am on the walk I forget I even had those problems with the boots ... I loved these sneakers before, but even more-so now. The little bit of what I thought was "too much" room for a non-tied sneaker ... is the reason. And to be fair I cant say how long these will last but so far out for those walks, I cant say that my feet have even come close to coming out the heel... if the sneakers stretch out down-the-line .. this may be a problem but so far it's great.Sort of wishing I bought a pair of Sketchers (they do have similar models that say look the same on top, but have a different bottom) like these years ago ... I am open to different brands and good sales and what not but ... Skechers is my go-to brand, to be honest

I hate leaving reviews but these shoes are worth every penny. They are so light you forget you have them on! They fit my feet perfect and they are very comfortable! I have wide Fred Flintstone feet so sometimes it's hard to find comfortable shoes. If your on the fence about these I say go ahead and buy them. You won't be disappointed.

This is my first time purchasing shoes online, as I generally like to try them on before I buy them. I know you can return and buy again, but I try not to go through such hassles, if I can.I normally wear a size 9.5, depending on the shoe manufacturer, so I stuck with that for this purchase. For me, the shoes are very comfortable, more so than I expected, as they have memory foam in the shoe for the sole. Like any other shoe, you have to wear them for a while to break them in. In the case of these shoes, the memory foam has to get used to you! When I first tried them on, I noted how they were very comfortable and they fit just right for me, so I was happy already. My right foot did get slightly tingly while sitting, since the memory foam was still getting used to my feet. It has only been a few weeks, but I have worn them almost everyday to help break them in, and I mainly use them for walking and light activities, but I have stooped down while wearing these and all has been well so far.I have seen some of the negative comments about wear and tear of the shoes, but even when I stoop down, or do anything else that would stretch the shoes a bit to their limits, I don't feel like any part will tear. For the rear of the shoe, I personally generally use my hand/fingers to lift the back as I put my foot into it, so the rear of the shoes have not caved in, as others have pointed out. These may be slip on shoes, but that is just what I do.As for the memory foam, they are contoured for a normal foot, so I am not sure if these would be good shoes for someone who is flat footed, or otherwise have something other than a normal foot, as my foot is on the normal side ( normal ball and contoured foot, like how you see the foot print images). So, if you are flat footed or have some other shape that you notice is uncomfortable while wearing typical shoes, this one might not be for you, but you could give it a try, as memory foam is supposed to adjust to your feet. Like I said before, one of my feet did feel a little tingly, but that was just the first day. Ever since, they have been nothing but very comfortable and I have been happy using them.I'm including some photos, for a bit more perspective. Not sure why they appear reddish, as they look black to me, ha! I guess my camera is sensitive. It even picked up the little specs of dirt or whatever on the top of the shoes, as they look black to me, and not with the whitish specs of debris on them. Oh well, I will have to wash them soon. That is one thing I haven't done yet, but for shoes, I generally wash them in cold water, and if I dry them in a machine, I only air dry them. But, I generally just hang them to dry, as I have a little garment holder that dries cloths and it has a spot for shoes to hang from.

Skechers, like all shoe companies, routinley switch what is a greaet shoe model for new ones, changing very little but sometimes enough to make it suck.I buy 4-5 at a time because of this - but have always been happy with the ones from Amazon. I am a fan of this style from them as I have little to no arch and there isn't a big arch bump in them.Very soft, very comfortable, lots of cushion - these are great to give the cushion on hard surfaces for my back.

Well made. Comfortable. Good fit. Ordered exact size
