Customer Reviews
These shoes earn a 4.5 out of 5 rating from over 12,700 Amazon reviews. One shopper noted: “Very light. I like them a lot.” Another shared: “These Skechers walking shoes are extremely comfortable, straight out of the box. They seem well made and have a non-slip sole. Very reasonably priced and as good as more expensive makes on the market. Very lightweight and water resistant.” A third added: “Comfy shoes, great value.”
Additional feedback highlights their appeal: “Once you’ve worn Skechers, it’s hard to switch to other brands because they’re just so darn comfortable. As a personal preference, I’ve swapped the laces that come with the trainers for some elastic laces instead – this makes them much easier to slip on and off.” One user mentioned durability concerns: “I bought these 18 months ago and (they) were the most comfortable trainers I have ever bought. However, after six months, the tread on the soles have gone and the heel developed a sharp edge that was uncomfortable.”
