Perfect
Very good sneakers
After my beagle puppy decided to destroy my farm shoes, I needed something rugged to carry out my normal days of goats, tree cutting, brush cutting, and more. I have a very bad foot and leg due to injuries in the Navy and not just any shoe fits or works for me. I read the reviews on these and they appeared to be what I needed. These are very comfort and fit me just right. I do not have a lot of foot pain or stability issues with them. They have excellent grip on uneven ground or slippery areas. The cushioning is excellent and there is little fatigue when I wear them, even all day. The color (black) is good because it doesn't show a lot of nasty that I get into. I like these a lot and will order them again when I wear these out.
I love this brand, you always know what you're getting when you buy their shoes. I don't think I've bought a single pair that wasn't comfortable.
Looks great very comfortable and light weight feel
Very comfortable. Wear them while working bases on softball field. So far dust from field cleans off them fairly well. Hopefully when weather is wet the same will be true.Have much more support than regular trail shoes and great traction
I normally wear 13 4E Skechers, but for some reason this style runs short. My toes were rubbing against the end.Otherwise the quality is what you’d expect from Skechers.
