This shoe excels in providing the everyday comfort you desire. The Air Cooled Memory Foam insole adapts perfectly to your foot shape, offering a personalized fit that cushions each step. Whether you're hiking, walking, or running errands, you'll appreciate how this feature reduces fatigue during prolonged wear.
On the outside, the combination of leather and synthetic fabric ensures longevity without sacrificing breathability. You can confidently wear these shoes in light rain, thanks to their water-repellent capabilities. This is a significant advantage for those who enjoy outdoor activities but are wary of sudden weather changes.
The low-top shaft height enhances mobility, making it easy to navigate different terrains, while the rubber sole provides excellent grip and traction. However, it's worth noting that some users have reported needing to break in the shoes initially for maximum comfort.
In terms of style, the brown and orange colorway offers a modern aesthetic that fits well into casual and semi-formal settings. Whether paired with jeans or shorts, these shoes maintain a sporty yet polished look.

User Reviews
I wear these all day for work and they are sturdy and like walking on a cloud withe the memory foam. My second pair now and they last a long time. well made.
Great fit
Well made shoe. They stay comfortable for way longer than most shoes. They’re tough, durable and warm enough for colder weather use
Comfortable
These sneakers have thicker soles and very good arch support, they've quickly become my preferred choice for walking around the city. I like the color and style too.
I can only base this review on my own experience's with wearing the Skechers terrabite walking shoes over the last 2 years (a previous pair that were the same as the terrabite style I've just purchased again).I purchased a new pair recently from the UK, so I selected size 11 US, so I therefore ended up with the correct size 10 UK for me.Overall, very good walking shoes that are comfortable and durable, as it looks like they have limited availability in the UK.I've currently got an older pair that have been very good to wear on a daily basis.I've not had any problems with the soles de-bonding or the fabric uppers, all fine with my pair of walking shoes.The only issue very recently with my original pair were the outer part of the laces coming apart after continual use, I just bought a new pair of laces from the local camping shop for £2.99p ($3.78), buy one get one free and all good to use again. However, you do get a spare pair of laces in the original box as a replacement, I just liked the original grey and white patterned laces.I would recommend the terrabite walking shoes as they are very comfortable, durable & waterproof, especially when I went on our camping trips. In the UK it looks like this style is being replaced with new designs, so I assume they won't be available in the future, but the other styles look good too.
Great pair of shoes
I bought it for myself after my daughter chose this design and upon arrival it's just as advertised.I find it's very comfortable, cool and I now enjoys walking long distances.It's style make it versatile to pass as casual and as a dressing shoe.I don't know how well it will hold up in the rain and snow but right now I heard it's perfect for hot and cold weather conditions.Just a small discomfort in the toes area because of how my feet are so I'd not blame the shoes. I was able to make adjustments and changed my mind on returning it.I'm going to buy another.
