This is the second pair of these shoes I have purchased, and I’m very happy with them! Skechers fit is generally true to size, and they are among relatively few major brands that offer lots of options for those of us with wide feet.My first pair is two years old, and I have worn them almost daily in that time; while traveling, shopping trips, even doing outside chores. They are starting to look a bit worn, but the seams and sole are still intact. They have been durable, but the support has begun to break down, so I bought this new pair.THE GOOD:True to sizeDurableVery ComfortableLook good with jeans and casual trousersWeather resistantTouch up easily with polishTHE BAD:The new pair is a bit more snug in the toe than I expected, but they will stretch a bit as I wear them, so I’m not terribly concerned about this.The transaction itself was fast and effortless, as expected on Amazon!5/5 would recommend!
Comfortable everyday shoes for me. The sole has held up well and these look almost new after 2 years.Only one issue so far. Both foam inserts have severe wear, one side under the heel, the other under the toes. I guess my walk is weird.This has happened with other shoes, and in those cases the shoes were falling apart in other places too. These Skechers are still going strong, so I can solve this with inexpensive aftermarket insoles. I only wish Skechers sold theirs separately, because they are quite comfortable.
These shoes are very comfortable. The black shoes I have were killing my feet. I really like these. Sketchers always seem to fit me well and are very comfortable. I may buy a second pair just to have them.
Awesome. Comfortable and can pass for Corporate
Very good product
Easy on and off. Good extra wide fit. The sole has traction but without deep lugs to fill with mud. This is a great shoe at a fair price. Good arch support.
UPDATE: After a lot of use, I bought another pair, but not the "extra wide", in my regular size. While "wide width" shoes usually fit me best, these are an exception. To my surprise, the normal width was much more comfortable for walking, and on a two week air and bus tour, I found myself wearing them most of the time, rather than switching to lace-up walking shoes. Very comfortable, easy on-off, and not bad at all for walking a few miles.If you normally buy wide-width shoes, you may find that these work best in the standard width.(Earlier review) I bought these as an alternative to taking my dress wingtips (which take up half the suitcase) for cruise formal nights. They can be smashed down to not take much packing space, and they look good enough to pass for dress shoes if you're not overly self-conscious. Worked out perfectly, and with a bonus of having some very comfortable, slipper-like shoes to slip on and off at other times.When they arrived I thought they might be too loose (the "extra wide" was the only wide choice, where a "wide" would be my normal choice). I figured if they stretched out very much, they would be too loose, but after 4 months of fairly frequent use, they still fit just the same. They are somewhere between comfortable slippers and slip-on walking shoes, but being very soft, if I plan on doing much walking, I switch to my normal, tighter fitting, lace-up running/walking shoes.The only "problem" with these, other than not being the best for long walks, is that they're so convenient and comfortable that I use them daily and often, so the next time a cruise comes up for which I'll need them for "formal" wear, they may be worn out. (however they seem to be holding up very well)
This is my second pair of these shoes. My first pair was black but they were not available in my size at this time. These appear to be discontinued also.I ordered the BOL not being sure what to expect. They have a very subtle brown undertone in natural light. Otherwise they look black to me. I really like the color. Also the area around the ankle is covered. My black ones were not and broke down in this area.I would buy the BOL over black for that reason alone.I only wear these shoes indoors and they have lasted two years. Very comfortable walking around on the hardwood floors.
