SkechersMen's Afterburn M. Fit Fashion Sneakers

In full disclosure, I'm a pretty loyal Skechers fan. These have been pretty great shoes for the last nearly year. The sole is comfortable, the size fits pretty well. I do have wide feet and the toebox could be a little wider (in my case). The traction seems good as I've not slipped in them. The sides seem plenty thick enough to hold together and have well. I did get a little to close to a sharp object and put a slice in the side (not the shoes fault, just me being clumsy). It's as easy to use as most any other shoe, so the design is good. Current shoes have the easy slide in which this model doesn't, but I did manage to make it work that way.

Great fit! Great Quality! Great Price! And as always very comfortable.

I bought these for comfort and price. They are good shoes, but do not cram your foot into them without loosening them. If you crush the back of the shoe down, it will crack the plastic support in the heel area. It is not comfortable after that.

Super comfy!! Fit is as expected. Will definitely buy again.

I am a size 13 wide-fit and bought this model a year ago for work and I do a lot of walking giving teachers and student support in my High School. They are very comfortable giving me good arch support as well as the memory form. In terms of durability, the sole is of high quality and shows very little ware having them for a year now and will probably last another year. I haven't had any issues in relation to developing blisters on my feet. I recently ordered two extra pairs on Amazon since Skechers no longer carries this model. In terms of the heel they haven't detached on my pair and I'm very satisficed with these sneakers.

Short version:Amazing for standing/walking all day (10,000+ steps)!Long version:I work at an airport and walk an average of 10,000-15,000 steps a day. I keep buying these every time a pair wears down because it is so comfortable after a long day of walking around! They fit great, the memory gel padding feels fantastic, and I almost never get any blisters! I certainly recommend these for theme parks as they were the first shoes I've worn that didn't have me want to die by the end of the long day of walking.Conclusion:Buy a pair and you won't regret it! The size fits exactly what my shoe size is, so it seems 1:1 without the need to go up/down half a size.

Not the best wear life, but a great shoe for the price. My first pair lasted about a 18 months, but for $50 bucks... wow. Comfortable, practical, and stylish. They started to delaminate at about 17 months, but I walk a lot. I think others might get more life out of them. I don't think you can go wrong with these shoes at these prices.

I'm a female raiding the mens department to find a pair of hiking shoes in non-girly colors. (ATTN manufacturers - not all women want their feet to look like Rose Bowl parade floats!) I'm 5'8" 115 lbs, normally wear a women's size 9M or a men's 8M. I bought these in a men's 8M.PROS---these shoes are unbelievably comfortable. I'm guessing it's the memory foam. You could blissfully wear them all day right out of the box!---great arch support.---they are true to length.---they are a bit wide through the footbed, even compared to other men's shoes. (Not so wide as to be a deal breaker. Actually a little extra width makes them especially comfortable!)---they look nice, sturdy, well-made.CONS---a problem with being a girl raiding the mens' shoe department can turn up in the heel and ankle. Even when laced up tight, they're just too loose in that area to secure the foot. This might be no big deal if I just needed them to wear them indoors or around town, but for hiking tricky conditions like rocky trails, snow or ice, I need precise control of footing. A mid-rise hiking boot rather than low-rise might be a better choice (Not to belabor the point, but my beloved old Salomon Tech-Amphibians, which unfortunately aren't made anymore, were low-rise but had an adjustable strap that circled the back above the heel that made for a custom fit for precision footing in both womens and mens versions.)---not a very deep tread. Thinking traction again.---not waterproof. In soppy outdoor conditions, I'm concerned that wonderfully comfortable memory foam might soak up water and make me miserable, especially in winter.So unfortunately, I'm having to return them. I think these would be great shoes if you are on your feet all day indoors, like working in a hospital, restaurant, retail, etc. But if you're looking for a hiking and outdoor shoe, I'd suggest considering the PROS and CONS above before making a selection, especially if you want a shoe for all seasons. Happy trails and good luck!
