Detailed Review
The SKECHERS Mens Terrabite has been crafted with the active individual in mind. When you slip into these shoes, the first thing you'll notice is the plushness of the Air Cooled Memory Foam insole. This feature not only enhances comfort but also provides shock absorption, which is particularly beneficial during high-impact activities such as running or hiking. Many users have reported feeling less fatigue in their feet after prolonged use, thanks to this innovative insole technology.
In terms of durability, the combination of leather and synthetic materials offers a sturdy yet flexible structure. Whether you're navigating rocky trails or simply walking through the park, the rubber sole provides excellent grip, reducing the risk of slips and falls. The water-repellent aspect is another highlight, allowing you to tackle wet surfaces without worrying about soggy socks.
While the shoe generally fits true to size, it's important to consider its wide (EE) fit. This makes it an excellent choice for those who need extra room; however, those with narrower feet may find it slightly loose. Additionally, the rugged aesthetic means these shoes easily transition from outdoor adventures to casual outings.

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
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.
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.
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.
