SkechersMen's New Wascana Benen

Honestly, I don’t buy Skechers for their looks, I buy them for comfort. However, these are the first Skechers boots that I think look really great. And not only do they look great, but they are super comfortable too. This is the first pair of shoes that I’ve bought online as I always prefer to try them on in store first. But after having a difficult time finding a good pair of boots in stores around my area, I decided to take a chance on these boots when I saw them on Amazon, and I am so glad that I did.I work for Dish Network as a residential installation Technicinan, so I need a work boot that’s durable, comfortable to wear 10-12 hours a day, resilient to all weather conditions, slip resistant, and safe for climbing up and down and working from ladders all day. These boots definitely tic all of those boxes. With the relaxed fit and light weight, my feet feel really good by the end of the day. I have arthritis in both my big toes, most other boots I’ve worn usually make work painful by the end of the day, but so far these boots have really kept me nearly pain free by the end of the day. They also allow a good range of motion, which is important in my line of work as I need to get into some really awkward and uncomfortable positions when pulling cable through a dank crawl space or tight attic space. There’s even plenty of room for thicker winter socks on those extra cold days without losing any comfort. One downside of the relaxed fit that some might not like is the fact that there’s not a huge amount of ankle support. For me I prefer the wider range of motion in my ankles as opposed to a tighter more supportive feel around my ankles. And best of all, there’s really no break-in period needed. They were comfortable and ready to wear for work right from the get-go.The one item that I can’t fully comment on just yet is the durability of these boots as I haven’t worn them long enough to really say how durable they are. However, I’ve always found Skechers to last me quite a long time before needing replaced, and I expect these boots to have the same quality materials as all of my past Skechers boots have had. I have not had a chance to fully submerge them in a puddle of water either, but I have worn them in the rain and snow, and they have kept my feet warm and dry. I am extremely happy with these boots, and so far I would buy a 2nd pair.Pros:They look greatSize is true to fitRelaxed fit for all day comfortPlenty of room for thick winter socksSlip resistant solesWater resistantGood range of motion in ankles and feetGreat for working on laddersCons: Not much ankle support

Now, I have these boots for a good while, 4 or 5 years maybe longer. I have wore these boots for a very long time just about every day, rain and shine. they still shine up good. However, the boots started cracking on both boots where they bend as you walk. Right where the lacing starts. But the souls and heels are still good. So they are semi retired right now. I bought another brand this time only because I wanted a higher boot. The old ones are still comfortable and they were made by Skechers . Well worth the money.

Not too heavy and comfortable.

These boots are nice comfortable and the price is great and they are steel toe and water proof.

Exactly what I wanted. Excellent quality. Fits me perfectly. I love them.

So honestly I don't ever leave any reviews for hardly anything but I saw when I was trying to re-order these shoes it said "frequently returned item"Well I am not really sure why, I have bought these shoes for the last 2 yrs. 1 pair per year because that is how long they have lasted me. I use them 5 days a week for 8 hrs a day. Through hot, cold weather, snow and rain and they get me through the day. Previously I have used other named brands but the sole would get damaged right away. But these even after me replacing them with a new pair the sole of the used ones is still in pretty good shape. What wears out is the side of the shoe it separates from the sole but that's after ONE YEAR of use. If that is not a good shoe then what is. My old ones I just use them for yard work around the house or any other type of work at my house. Do to my type of work my shoes need to be presentable and I replace them as soon as they look worn out. I am very satisfied with this product, if it ever gets discounted I'm not sure what I will do. I hope this helps someone.

Disappointed, had seven months and the outside skin is peeling off. I didn’t know leather had an ultra thin coat. I never even got them wet and they begin to peel like an onion. Otherwise good, and comfortable.

Buy them. They are very comfortable and waterproof
