Skechers Sport Men's Equalizer Persistent Slip-On Sneaker

I have purchased this model of Skechers many times before. I have given them as gifts on more than one occasion. Great shoes no breaking in necessary. Very comfortable from the first time you wear them. Nice if you work on your feet. Not so great on rainy days. But all in all they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned.

Jim had trouble with shuffle foot on the RT side after a stroke. I got these light weight shoes and he now picks up his step. Balance is great. He says his foot doesn't feel so heavy. Amazing result is this light material for a grand summer shoe. Thanks Skechers

I first tried this style in the regular width, but returned them, as I thought they were uncomfortably tight. I reordered the same style in the wide width, but realized the width wasn't the issue. It was the way the insole is structured in the toe area. It feels like the padding ends 1 inch short of the end of the shoe (which it really doesn't, but it just feels that way). It may be the way my foot is built. I'm disappointed because I do like the style, and the weight, so I'll probably try another style to see if that makes a difference.

the shoes upper lip is to long. It comes to high to the front of the foot so that the lip presses into the skin where the foot curves up into the lower leg. Can only wear shoes for limited periods of time due to the discomfort. Upper lip should be made about 1 inch shorter. Love the memory foam.

So here's the deal...I'm in my early forties, but am unfortunate enough to have arthritis which greatly affects some of my toes and fingers. As this can give me a lot of issues with walking comfortably, I find it very hard to find shoes that (i) don't have laces (bad fingers, remember) whilst (ii) providing a high level of cushioning and comfort. Step forward (excuse the pun) these particular Skechers. I spotted a blue pair in a local shop, tried them on and found myself telling the shopkeeper to bag them up within 10 seconds of trying them on, before realising I'd even asked the price. Thankfully they were very reasonably priced, and to be honest, I'd have paid double as it's seriously been years since I've found something so ideal for my feet. Not only do they tick the two boxes mentioned, but they look great too - and within a week I went online to Skechers and ordered two more pairs - a black pair for wearing to work and a light grey pair for an upcoming holiday. I fully intend on purchasing more so am keeping my fingers crossed Skechers keep making these, or ones like these, for a long time. I don't normally leave feedback or reviews, but these shoes have genuinely made a difference to my quality of life, so why not? Andy
