We were excited to get them for Christmas and patiently waited for the slower than normal shipping... They didnt have them in the right size in the mall outlet sketchers store. Sales clerk ordered them online and we paid in store. pretty easy process. SO disappointed that they started to fall apart after less than a week of use. I threw away the box so I can't even exchange them. I have bought womens sketchers exclusively for decades but first time for my husband. NEVER AGAIN!!

not using, in a corner gathering dust, worn for 4 hours, can't return because they were worn. So much for the exclusive club membership nonsense.

While I bought these shoes about 5 months ago, I'd only worn them 15-20 times. There was very minimal wear on the sole, but the 1st day I wore them on a sub 40 degree day, they started crumbling apart to the point that there were huge cracks and missing pieces of the shell, and the tread was completely separating at the toes.
I've never seen anything degrade so far in my life!
Really, really disappointed.

I've been wearing this shoe for years and now you have changed the material used to make it.
WHY!

I like the style the problem is that both shoes say the same size but the right shoe feels and look a half size smaller then the left makes them very uncomtable .

I have had this sneeker going on 4 months. Each time I wear them I end up with a swollen knee and lower back pains. I took until recently for me to figure out what was causing the problem. I have a part time job that requires me to stand and walk for my whole shift from 6-8 hours per. At the end of my shift my knee swells to the size of a large grapefruit, my lower back becomes sore. I wish I could return them. I will NOT being buying this shoe ever again. I wish I could return them!

I have had these for two years but for the first 18 months I only wore them for special occasions.
Upon rotating them into my daily routine, after about 6 months, the toe bumper had separated from the sole which creates holes wide enough to fit your finger. The toe bumper also separated from the area where your little toe would be. Poor quality. These shoes should not wear out this quickly.

They are comfortable but I bought 2 pair and the bottom in them are clasping. I am 6'1" 202lbs. Guess they are made for someone who is in the 100 lbs range.

I bought these for my son and they are perfect. They look good, feel sturdy and overall pleased with them. Bought the wide and they are perfect for his wider feet.

I'm a disabled veteran an I wear a brace for my foot, I always have worn Skechers with my brace and the shoes were good. This time I bought the same size and width, color and this time the shoe split open. I'm afraid to use my brace in the other pair I bought with this pair

When I first got these shoes I really liked them. I always get the SKECHERS Energy - Afterburn but wanted to try something different. After wearing them on and off for a month or so the insoles came undone. Also the back part of the shoe that rubs up against the back of your ankle started to rip exposing some metal frame that now cuts into my ankle whenever I would wear them. Had to toss them.

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 got this shoe when they stopped making the shape ups (that was the most comfortable shoes I ever wore). I feel like I am sledding down in these shoes and the sole feels very hard. After wearing them for a month I threw them away. Horrible shoe.
