Skechers Men's Afterburn Memory-Foam Lace-up Sneaker

Comment

I mentioned that these were "somewhat small" because my toes were almost right at the tip of the shoe when I first put them on. The shoes were plenty comfortable right off the bat so I thought it wouldnt matter, and it didnt. The memory foam is super thin but feels great. The shoes overall feel great. I work and play in them. I figured I would tear them up within a few months but, they look like theyre going to take a licking and keep on ticking, if you know what I mean. Theyve held up really well under my rough treatment and believe me, I put my shoes through hellll. Ive even thought about buying another pair just for going out in public, since Ive already made these look like "work shoes". All in all, I really like these shoes and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a little comfort under their feet. You will feel the difference.

This is the second pair of Sketchers I bought. This pair in particular is kind of an upgrade in style than the other ones I bought 3 years ago. They fit perfectly on my feet and are comfortable. For me I have fallen arches (not flat), and I have to take extra care with shoes like these. Over time the padding wears out faster due to the pressure I exert as I walk, and my ankles tend to roll inward as I normally walk. That part is more the way my feet are not the shoes. I also learned that when you buy a shoe you really have to choose a pair that are designed for what you are doing. If you walk a lot daily then you need walking shoes which have a thicker sole (like these do). If you are a runner you need to get a thinner sole shoe. They are lighter in weight. Another thing is that you only need to go up a half size than what your foot actually measures. If your foot is 10" in length they you go up to a 10 1/2" (10.5"). As you walk your feet swell so you have a 1/2" buffer for that thing. I mention this because I went a full inch more than needed when I bought shoes in the past not knowing that was over kill. Finally my last pair of Sketcher lasted 3 years (did a lot of walking at my previous job), and I suspect Ill get about 4 or 5 years of use since I dont walk nearly as much at my current job.

Right shoe completely un bonded from sole. June 25 delivered, return window closed Jul 25 and guess what fell apart 7 days later on Aug 2nd. Never had this happen with previous orders. Was hoping to return the product but that electronic window is closed and other than leaving a bad review I couldnt find a contact e-mail to discuss the 30 day plus 7 failure of what used to be fairly decent shoes. Will follow this up if i hear from someone.

My husband goes through sneakers very quickly because hes on construction sites most of the day. He has very sensitive feet, that are usually in pain. These are the 1st sneakers he ever freaked out about the first time he put them on! He says theyre the most comfortable AND supportive sneakers hes ever worn. Plus theyre affordable. Well never buy anything else!

I have wide feet that make it difficult for me to find sneakers, skates, dress shoes or any other footwear. I was reluctant to give up my 3 year old New Balance kicks that I used primarily for the gym but they were shot and 18 months overdue for replacement. I went to Dicks Sporting Good and they had one pair that fit but they cost $139 and Im not paying that much money for gym shoes. So I turned to Amazon and used their well oiled search engine criteria to locate all the 4E shoes they had. My wish list was simple - wide enough to be comfortable out of the box, < $75, a dark color that wont look dirty in 6 months and 4+ star users ratings by more than 100 users. The locus of those criteria was these shoes. Ive always liked Skechers casual shoes and figured Id give these a try. These shoes came in at just over $40, almost $100 less than Dicks and I think it took less time for the Skechers to show up with Prime than it did for me to find the 17 year old kid working in Dicks shoe department. No wonder big box stores are dying - their customer service and sales staffs stink Pro - Wide enough to fit perfectly. These shoes do not run big and I might have expected a 4E to be just a but wider than I needed but they were ideal - Comfortable - wore them all day for two days with no issues, blisters, hot spots or discomfort - Solidly made sole that will hold up to elliptical, stationary bikes and treadmills - Decent style, like the dark colors - The laces are the right length. That might sound like nitpicking but my old New Balance shoes had laces that were two inches too long on each end and they kept getting untied and dragging on the ground which not ideal in the mens room. - $100 less than comparable shoes at Dicks Con - There seemed to be a hard spot under the ball of each foot when I first put them on that dissipated in a few hours. It didnt hurt, it was just hard. It worked itself out in the first day, These are solid casual, gym use shoes. They are too heavy for actual running but for machine use indoors where the extra weight adds to the workout. If you need superlight runners, be prepared to shell out north of a C- note. Hope that helps! Tretiak
