Customer Reviews SKECHERS Energy - Downforce

I am not overly stylish, but I am picky as these work for me. Many other trendy shoes may look good on others, but me, so that's why I like them. I am a Skechers fan because they offer the "wide width" option.

Within a few days, one shoe developed a loud squeak in the heel. Very annoying!

I have bought about a dozen pairs of the same model Downforce through the years, because they supported my feet as I have flat feet and wear doctor made orthotics. The material was like buck skin, tough and rigid giving me great support. But last August I bought two pairs of the same material but they quickly and surpisingly lost rigidity and support by May of this year. So two weeks ago I bought two pairs of Downforce made of a different smooth material which did not support me at all, forcing me to return them to the store. I will no longer buy your Downforce because it no longer works for me. It had offered me the most support of all your line and better than any other sneaker brand regardless of price. I am very disappointed that you changed the material that you made this sneaker with. My podiatrist told me that compression made the sneaker lose its supportiveness. You have to upgrade your quality.

My new Sport Men's Energy Downforce shoes are the same 7.5 D(M) that I have purchased from Skechers for years, but they measure a full 1/4 inch narrower and very tight on my feet (the sole is a full 1/2 inch narrower). When I called customer service the gal said that she has heard the same complaint from other customers. It appears that Skechers has stopped following standardized sizing. I will have to return these and buy a different brand since a wider size is not available from Skechers at this time.

I like this product but don't like the fact that I had to order it online because you don't offer wide width in the stores. That is a Big Con.

This is the shoe for me, fits right, comfort out of box. Good for about 90-120 days of constant wear. I always buy two or more. Purchased After burn shoe also, to still of sole and another pair of slip on's for around the house

This is my second pair of these shoes. I bought the first pair about 3 years ago. They lasted so well I bought a second pair. The inner sole began to click or squeak for several months, then stopped doing it. I'm very satisfied with how it has lasted so long.

The only downside I would say is the durability of the shoes. Each pair only lasts for a while, and then it seems I'm ordering a new pair. With that said, I only wear these shoes, so that's probably why! :)

for me I have bad back, I need a crosstrainer, they jelp me the best, but so far this shoe has worked,

Bought these for my husband who is on his feet all day working and has a bad back. He raves that these shoes are so comfortable, and that his feet and back do not hurt at the end of the day! They are nice looking also!

Every day, comfortable
