Detailed Review
When it comes to footwear that combines both aesthetic appeal and functional design, the Skechers USA Men's Citywalk Malton Oxford Sneaker stands out. The first aspect to note is the comfort. The padded collar and tongue ensure that you can wear these shoes all day without discomfort. Additionally, the shock-absorbing midsole provides an excellent cushioning effect, making walking on hard surfaces much more enjoyable.
The design is another highlight. The contrast-colored synthetic side stripe detailing offers a stylish twist, while the lightly squared toe front gives a modern edge to this classic sneaker. These features make the sneakers versatile enough for both casual outings and semi-formal events.
If traction is a concern for you, the flexible sole with clear traction will serve well. It allows for good grip on various surfaces, which is particularly beneficial if you're often on the move.
However, it's worth mentioning that some users have reported that these sneakers are slightly heavier than other options on the market. For those who prefer ultra-lightweight footwear, this might be a consideration. Moreover, the color options are somewhat limited, which could affect your choice depending on personal style.

I just love these sketchers casual style shoes , they are very comfortable and last a long time I’ve been wearing this style for a very long time. I just wish sketchers would bring back the white ones but overall very nice shoe and fits well. Thanks.
Best shoes for your money. Sophisticated yet comfortable--like a log cabin on Christmas eve. Enjoy looking great and making new friends everywhere you go!
Wear these periodically for casual outings. They run a bit small and fit snug. Thought they would stretch out over time but still tend to hurt my feet. Would reccomend a size up from what you normally wear. Love the soft inserts. Outer design and quality are good. Reccomend.
They were tight when I first got them, but once broken in they fit great.
Per the usual with Skechers shoes that I've owned, they look great but they take on a strong smell after a short period of time. Not sure why that is - perhaps the materials they make the interior with, could be the insole needs to be replaced with something aftermarket, etc, could be they trap too much moisture in and don't breathe well enough, etc. But I love wearing these things out and so far as I know nobody else notices the smell, hah. Anyway, they have a comfortable fit and all around foot support for casual walking and although you could use them as workout/distance walkers, the soles' tread doesn't look like it would last a really long time for that kind of thing. Perfect for a night out though.
This is the 2nd time I've bought this shoe for my husband... and the 1st pair isn't worn out yet, but was afraid by the time he needed them they would be discontinued or something! He's owned quite a few different pairs of Skechers shoes and he says these are by far the most comfortable and he is on his feet alot at work and its a concrete floor.
My husband loves these shoes. They still fit as expected and look great!
There is just something off about the fit. I purchased and received the correct size, and the shoes fit US sizes, although I wish I could have selected size using millimeters and been a bit more precise.My issue is that the shoe doesn't grip the ankle very well. Even if I tighten the laces, my heel slides up inside the shoe heel. I have tried a few different lacing positions, but my heel just keeps slipping and sliding up and down the heel. The shoe's heel grip does not go high enough. It's uncomfortable, and it puts strain on the the front of my foot. But... these shoes were only 35 bucks, so I'll save them for swanky night's out. I will not use them for daily use because the heels just grasp too low.Secondly, I have never worn a wide shoe before, even as a Sketcher's fanboy. So, I don't think that I have oddball feet. These just did not cut it for me. They just did not fit me well, and I did order them online.On the PLUS side. The soles are quality. I have been to stores and tried on recent Sketcher's shoes only to find garbage soles. These shoes have that 2 oz. fake feel, like cheap Chinese sneakers sold at your local discount store. These Sketchers had a quality sole I haven't seen in retail stores for months. I hope you know what I mean: the soles here are rubbery and durable, while I have only felt light, rubbery trash for the last year or so. I loathe shoes with those soles. This make and model have real soles. How durable the glue is, remains another issue. But, at least these aren't cheap-as-hell shoes going for 70 bucks.
