Skechers Equalizer Persistent Men Low-Top Sneakers

Brilliant shoes. Cannot recommend them enough. I must admit it's the first time I've bought shoes from Amazon (but many many other things!) and I had a small amount of trepidation that they would fit. Yes, I did know about the returns policy, but with my life it's not the kind of thing I really want to do! I have already had some Skechers' running shoes for a couple of years and remember taking one size up because they didn't fit too well (and I have strange feet too) so was very grateful to Glenn P. Arnold for his comment that they loosened slightly over time. I used this knowledge to get my 'usual' size and have been wearing them for a couple of days in absolute joy. As with reviewer GeeMak I have had Plantar Fasciitis and got inserts in my shoes but it was getting a bit irritating and also I felt that a pair of sneakers would do the trick. Well, as you've heard they have and I walk to the shops etc with a smile on my face..Many thanks to all the positive reviewers for easing my way into buying these wonderful shoes!

I’m early 40’s and starting to care less about fashion than comfort.That’s not to say Skechers aren’t stylish, but I wanted a pair of trainers that I could get away with wearing to the office and out and about at work as I do a lot of walking.These are smart enough for work and are without a doubt the most comfortable trainers I’ve ever owned.They do give a bit once you’ve worn them for a while, but not enough to be loose in my experience.I’d say this design is more of a summer shoe as I don’t think they’d be great in the wind and rain as they are very thin and lightweight.I will definitely be buying a pair again, maybe a pair more suited for the winter.Overall a great addition to my current selection of trainers.

Not the most stylish, but I needed some lightweight shoes for a recent visit to Rome. I was considering training shoes, but wanted something a bit different for the trip, but also something that I could wear casually at home. Slip on shoes have never been my thing either, however, as I am ageing (as is everyone) I thought that these would be ideal for those moments such as going outside to collect a delivery, late night dog walk etc: i.e. when you need a pair of shoes for 10 minutes or so, but don't want to spend ages lacing them up.So how did they cope in Rome. Day 1 we walked 27,993 steps: Colisseum, Forum, Palantine Hill, Trevi fountain and there and back to our hotel adjacent to the main railway station. No problems, tight fit and whilst the soles of my feet felt a little tender, nothing serious, no blisters and after changing shoes, we went out for dinner that night and I walked a further 7000+ steps. Day 2 19553 steps, Vatican museum, St Peter's, Spanish steps and back to the hotel. Same routine, changed shoes and out for dinner - no discomfort. Day 3, left at 3:00 p.m. but still managed 14270 steps.We returned from Rome and I am completing this review. I wore normal socks, am a fit 15 stone man whose feet have taken a lot of punishment over the years and wished that I had discovered these sooner. For the price, these shoes offer an ideal piece of footwear to use when visiting cities, they are extremely comfortable, very durable and weigh next to nothing in your case. They fit my feet exactly as I expected them to and whilst not waterproof, they allowed my feet to breath; they never felt sweaty and certainly not overheat, the thick sole plate allows you to walk through shallow puddles and keep your feet dry and more importantly, should they get wet, they dry very quickly - in that regard, I think that they are ideal for travel.Overall then, whether it be for a city tour, or using as casual footwear these shoes are really ideal. They are so good, that I have ordered another pair for when the originals wear out, although I don't think that will be too soon as my trip to Rome hasn't effected them at all. Roll on Budapest and Reykjavik, next on the list.

I love and live in Skechers Go Walks so wanted my other half to appreciate their comfort. However I know with them the sizing is really hit and miss. Im a size 8 shoe but in Skechers I'm a 7. This normally works for me. However for my fussy other half I ordered his usual size 10 and a size 9. Unfortunately both of them we're too small.I have very wide feet with a high instep but his feet are standard with a normal instep. I ordered two different styles as well but they we're both the same on his feet, so they all had to go back and we had to go to a skechers shop and pay a lot more than amazon. I really wish Skechers could improve their sizing as with most of them you find you either have to 'break them in' or put heel grips in as they don't do half sizes in mens or women's larger size shoes.

Super comfortable. In fact the most comfortable trainers I have ever owned. But they do look strange on my feet on account of the really wide fitting. And despite being the same shoe size as my other footwear, they look considerably longer for some reason. I was convinced I was sent the wrong size at first. But I suppose comfort is the most important thing, and for that they deserve 5 stars as they really do feel amazing.

Nice slip on, unfortunately they were a little to loose for me. I have had skecher leather slip ons before which were a snugger fit. I find they loosen over time and these would have become more of a slip off before long. It's a shame you cannot get half sizes as a 7.5 would have been spot on. Still a well made shoe though.
