Skechers Men's After Burn Memory Fit - Strike Off Lace-Up Sneaker

Originally, I thought these shoes were the bee's knees but after just over two months of wearing them, the memory foam is already disintegrating. While I do wear these daily, I thought I'd get, at least, a year before having to consider replacing the pads with Dr. Scholl's or something.

I was replacing an older pair of Skechers that were the most comfortable shoes ever! Since it appears they didn't make that particular style anymore, I ordered these. The fit is great, but the memory foam doesn't go edge to edge, creating an uncomfortable feeling particularly by the toes. The old style went edge to edge and the difference is huge. I added some inserts that took care of the problem, but I shouldn't have to. The tread is pretty aggressive and thick, which reduces the flexibility of the shoes. Overall, I'm happy with the shoes, but disappointed in the differences noted above.

This is the 1st time purchasing Skechers and they're very good shoes. I walk an average of 8 to 10 miles a day. I normally wear orthodics however, I decided to go without those and use the gel inserts and my feet were fine.The center of the heel on the gel inserts did wear out. Previous to purchasing these shoes, I had a pair of new balance to which I wore out and the 3 months. New Balance said I did not tie my shoes properly and that is why the inside back of the heel wore out.These Sketchers shoes have lasted, up to this point, twice as long are solid sturdy and durable shoes. I have already purchased extra pairs for when my current ones where out which they have yet to. Well done Sketchers.

So the shoes themselves are great and a good size. but the memory foam makes it impossible to secure them to your foot barring cutting off all circulation to your feet. I absolutely love the styles of the shoes, but the mandatory memory foam is a disaster and makes me not want to buy skechers anymore. I mean what is the point of wearing shoes that slip around on your feet and only provide support the correct way when you are sitting down. when I walk my toes get jammed into the front of the shoe because there is no traction in the bottom of the shoe.like i said good shoe design but horrible soles.

My husband walks 4 miles 5 mornings a week. He began experiencing heel pain so I bought this shoe for him after reading about what the shoe offers. Well, my husband says it's the best shoe he has ever had! Great job Sketchers.

Looking for a good walking/trail shoe for upcoming travels. Primarily a New Balance wearer (require extra wide size and roomy toe box as I use custom orthotics) but wanted something that breathes (vs. leather) and prefer beefier sole (vs. Newbalance 928s - very comfy, breathable, but just too white and not much grip on soles) but was VERY skeptical about buying "Sketchers" because I always thought of them as tweeny girl shoes. Was very impressed with this shoe. 4W was pretty much 4W. Shoe was very light and sole had lots of traction. I easily removed the glued down memory foam footbed, inserted my custom orthotic, and even tried putting back the flat memory foam footbed and worked pretty good. Would prefer a little more room in tongue area, but by adjusting shoe laces was able to wear both fairly comfortably. Would have preferred tongue a little wider because when I loosened laces to accommodate both insoles, there were small gaps on one side of tongue, so had to slide tongue to one side just right to hide my socks. So far show seems very comfortable on concrete, steps and fairly warm weather. Stock foot beds make you feel like walking on air. Durability probably not as rugged as it looks but will see. BTW for the price can't go wrong either way - Outstanding value for good shoe.

I really like the style and the fact they come in extra wide. The main downside is the memory foam insoles, which seem to be used on many shoes these days. Since memory foam doesn't last, perhaps companies sell more shoes...? Whatever their reason, my bad experience with memory foam insoles led me to realize that memory foam may work well for mattresses, but when all your weight is concentrated to your feet, it compresses all the way to the bottom, eventually staying there after only a couple of months, leaving no cushioning. And since it isn't a durable material, it rips quickly. However, while Sketchers uses strong glue to keep them in, the glue doesn't cover the entire bottom of the insole, and they can be removed - if you haven't worn the shoes. If you pull the insoles out VERY slowly and carefully, you can get them to come out in about an hour. Pulling on them too fast causes them to rip and pieces of the foam to stick to the bottom. I replaced mine with the $30 Spenco Total Support insoles, and now the shoes are not only firm instead of squishy, but have a nice cushion and arch support.

No show will get 5-star review from me until they last a year of daily wear. These are the best for the money that I have found. The memory foam insole gradually adjusts and forms a near orthopedic insole. This lasts for a couple months and then starts to go flat.....as is typical for shoes in this price range. All things considered, these are the best shoes for the price that I have found.....great bang for your buck.

I almost cancelled this order as the delivery time was 2 months!!! But I’m happy I didn’t as the product is of high quality and comfort. However I will not buy from overseas again

Incredibly comfortable and I've got planters foot. Wear them at work all day and I walk 9 miles a day!

Always get same style for dad who has wide feet ,he loves them

I love these shoes. So comfy very well made and perfect fit for me. When I can afford I want another pair.

The memory foam is a gimmick at best. Within a month of walking with these, the foam came off in chunks, which didn't effect the comfort per se, but wasn't very durable. I initially thought it was a faulty pair of sneakers, and Amazon replaced them for me, but within a month the new ones had holes in the memory foam, so I knew it was the foam at fault, not a second bad pair of sneakers.
