14,000 steps a day for 6 months
I haul trash for money at night. These are the only shoes I have and I wear them all day. This is the third time I have bought these shoes. In short, they work. I can do 14,000 steps a day while hauling weight going up over 100 flights of stairs 5 days a week and they will last for 6 months or more. If I was not overweight, they might even last 9 months or more. If I took care of them better and lost weight they may even last a year. So far, they are certainly worth what I am paying for them from Amazon. I just wish they were a little cheaper.

Worst pair of sneakers I've ever owned
I purchased this because I have been walking daily since COVID started and I only had a pair of trail hiking sneakers. I walk the sidewalks and streets around my neighborhood so I wanted something that would be appropriate for that surface. I also have wide feet so these seemed like just what I needed. They are very heavy and clunky with a big thick hard bottom. I was surprised to find that even though I ordered extra wide, they seemed a little snug on the front of my foot and toes. I brushsed this off as needing to be broken in so I went on my daily walk. They didn't feel great but they didn't feel horrible so I again assumed they would feel better once broken in. After over two weeks of wearing them on my 45-60 minute walks, I began noticing my knees were bothering me. I returned to work last week and wore them for a full day because I'm on my feet a lot at work. By the end of a full work day, my feet, knees and back were killing me! In addition, they are very loud when walking around inside on an uncarpeted surface. I will never wear these again but I am stuck with them since they've got some miles on them. I was so desperate for them to be good when I should have returned them right away. Don't make the same mistake as me, stay away from these shoes!

Very good shoe and comfortable
I purchased the shoes 11 months ago and they have performed excellent I'm very happy with them however last month like all shoes do the interior foot bed gave out. So I ordered some new shoe inserts by Comeii and hope to get another 11 months worth of wear out of the shoes . FYI ....Just a sidenote all Skechers insoles are glued in and unremovable.

Ninjas beware
Nice shoes and the wide sizes fit really well. When first wearing, the leather(?) tongue rubs against the sides and makes a noticeable squeaking sound, which gets really annoying. After about two weeks of forfeiting your ninja license, it eventually breaks in and you can walk silently. The cushioning is pretty soft, and as a daily shoe, it's very good (I don't think the cushioning would be well suited for running though). It's all leather, which is nice, as most athletic shoes are a mix of that and thin fabric.The wide size is as expected. For the price, this is a great shoe.

Great for Diabetic Amputees (At least me)
I am an amputee, that in addition to needing a good fit for my remaining foot, needed a shoe that does not change my height or foot alignment significantly. This shoe meet my requirements. After I got them, I put in my orthotic, put the shoes on and started walking with minimum discomfort. Had to remove the insole on my prosthetic side, the only adjustment I made, and was instantly more comfortable. Had an appointment with my prosthetist who watched my walking gait and made a slight adjustment...even better!!! Great fit, looks good, and required minimum adjustment.

Good Fit Good Deal
With many foot, leg, back injuries/conditions, shoes are important. I was very happy when I tried these on as far as fit....excellentConstruction....another story. I have had Sketchers many times before and like them, except for those flimsy little leather lace eyes... very weak point. My orthopedist made me a set of those horribly expensive foot molded inserts and pushed a pair of $100+ New Balance on me. Yes good shoes but like most , I walk a lot for work and am somewhat bow legged which causes outside heel to wear out before medial side. I thought if the shoe is going to wear to the point of useless in 6-7 months hard walking... find one that fits as well for less. These Sketchers fit the bill. Good fit, support, and reasonable priced. I'm going to order 2 more pair next pay day and rotate them to make them last longer

Fits like a shoe! (Why should gloves hog all the glory?)
Perfect balance of colors for me. I'm not big on flashy shoes, but I do like for them to stand out at least. "Hey! New shoes?!" So I went with the white/navy After Burn design.There was a catch though. They only had that design in my size as an Extra-Wide. I've worn wide shoes for a while, and as there was no way to tell how much wider these would be I was taking a gamble on ordering them. Lady Luck was in my corner. Turns out EW is what I've actually been needing all this time. I've never had shoes that fit so perfectly. I was always a Wally World shoe shopper and they only had one extra width difference. Anyway, I banked.The grip/texture of the bottom of the shoe looks perfect for giving me the additional traction necessary to prevent my typical stumbles (Awkward gait due to Autism).I rarely buy new shoes, and most of the time I regret my decision. Not this time. These are PERFECT. Fits my feet like a shoe! (Gloves shall not have a monopoly on perfect fits).These are my first ever pair of Sketchers. I'll be sure to update with anything positive 😍 or negative 😤. First thoughts though? I feel so close and affectionate to these shoes I want to breast feed them.

Have not held up
I bought these shoes after the Skechers Vigor 2.0 Serpentine Memory Foam Sneakers I bought failed on me. I walk about 4 miles a day, and have been wearing these since March 1st. As you can see by the picture, the sole of the right shoe has already worn through. Skechers had me send them back, and their quality assurance department determined they were worn through due to excessive wear over a long period of time. After two months of wear for only an hour a day, six days a week??? How is that a long period of time? From now on I'll buy a better quality product from a company who actually stands behind them! I'd give Skechers zero stars!

Not great quality, not hard wearing, quite hard soles (not memory foam)
Disappointed, 1 month and 5 days after purchase, already showing severe signs of wear. This is from sitting at my desk with my legs crossed and the shoes touching against each other.Not as comfortable as previous Sketchers, as soles are hard. Not memory foam inserts.For almost £100, I expected more.

Small defects
Trainers arrived earlier than expected but both have small defects on them, contacted the seller who did offer me a refund for return but we settled on a part refund for me to keep them, fantastic and fast customer service 5 stars to them for that

Avery useful product and is exactly what I was looking for.
I really like the Trainers and really like the feel and look at the Trainers due to my wide feet also.
