They feel great right out of the box! No breaking in time needed! Very comfy to walk in!
Love these, been hiking and love the stability these shoes give when the trail gets tough. Fit true to size.
This style of books isn’t as comfortable as other styles of Skechers brand
I am a heavy-set woman with a size 10 foot. I ordered a pair of womens’ size 10 boots and couldn’t get my foot into it with the laces as loose as they can be without removing them. They are so narrow and the instep is so low there was no way to even break them in. Had to begin the return process the same day I received them. So disappointed.
I bought these to go on a trip where I will be doing a lot of walking. They are extremely comfortable and warm. You can wear them with jeans or leggings. The trip is next week so I will update when I get home.
These boots fit true to size and they are very warm. Comfortable and stylish. I would recommend.
Its in no way a hiking boot - so I wore for a day to keep for a possible snow (light snow) or cold weather rain boot but absolutely not water resistant. The small puddle on my way in To daycare left my feet soaked for the rest of the day. The look and feel of it is snow not as expected definitely not a work or hiking or lite snow boot. I wore them so no return so I tossed them because they served no purpose
