I've only had these shoes for six months, and standard every day wear walking an average of 4 miles a day have broken these shoes down severely. There are hard plastic triangles in the sole at the heel and most of them have popped out or are getting ready to. The soft molding that goes up the side of the shoe from the sole is separating in several places from either the shoe or the sole. At the two month Mark the rubber flap that goes up the front of the shoe began to separate from the shoe which was easily remedied with a dab of super glue and wasn't what I would consider a critical failure so I wasn't complaining about it then, but it is worth noting to any perspective purchasers at this point. I can't with good conscience recommend these shoes to anyone who will need them longer than around six months for anything more strenuous than a desk job.

No problem with the delivery, returned the shoes because they didn't fit good, taking too long with the return process!!!! Please get with it and credit my credit card!!!! It has been almost 2 weeks now, poor return service!!!! Probably not a good thing to buy over the internet!!!!

I have a high arch. Sketcher Shape-Ups 10.5 wide fit great. I will need some sort of arch support in your down force shoe for me to wear them. I bought them partly because one customer said that they had good arch support.

I work in them and on my feet at least 7 hrs a day. The first sketcher sports I owned I bought at a store. They were very comfortable and lasted quite a while for the abuse I put them through at work. This pair was supposed to be Wide. They felt narrow and hurt my feet, I won't be buying another pair for work.

The soles are almost defective. They are extremely hard and noisy. No cushion at all. Every step I take echos thru the entire house. I have been wearing sketchers for 15 years. But i can't afford the shape ups since the prices went up. I guess i will have to shop for a new brand of shoes soon.

i've bought sketchers shoes for 15 years. this is the first pair i have been disappointed in. the last 4 or 5 pair i bought were shape ups, & i loved them. these shoes are really cheap . they feel like something i bought at the dollar store for .99 cents. i quit buying shape ups because they just got too expensive. i'm looking for a new shoe company, because i won't be buying sketchers any more.

When I first purchased this show 2 years ago it was awesome! I'm not sure what happened with this pair. There is no memory foam inserts like my others. I was highly highly disappointed with these. I'm wearing them but absolutely do not like them. I walk 3-4000 steps a day at work,(pharmacy tech) and my feet hurts at the end of my shift!

I bought two identical pairs. One in black and one in white. The white pair fits beautifully. The black pair tore my feet apart after two wears and is breaking apart at the seams. I am totally dissatisfied with this pair of sneakers.

Poor Construction. The seams in the front tore in 3 months of casual use. Worst pair of Skechers I have ever owned. Hope Skechers fix's the Issue.I di like their shoes.

Bought online store and was a gift for my disabled brother, living in another state, who was looking forward to these shoes to put on his swollen feet, but his old nasty shoes felt wider and they are not made wide. I feel horrible and ripped off. Thanks Skecher's! NOT!

I was really disappointed with these shoes. I've bought several shoes over the years from your company, but these had no arch support what so ever, and are uncomfortable at best.

This is the second set of Stechers "Downforce" I have owned. The first pair lasted 3-4 months. The topsides of this pair are falling apart within 30 days of very mild use. I used these shoes as walking shoes for less than half a mile per day. The area around the toes are delaminating. I am disappointed with the quality of these shoes to say the least.

The Skechers company has obviously made big changes in the way they manufacture shoes. What was once the "perfect" shoe, is now just as horrible as the rest. The quality construction of the shoe has suffered greatly.

The shoe looked sturdy with the sole and leather exterior however it showed how fragile it was in just matter of few months.
The stitches on front started showing wornout condition in 3 months, fortunately with a couple of broken front stitches the glue was still holding the front part.
In just matter of four months, inside sole displayed its poor quality with portion below the heel gettting worn out.
Today, approx 6 months of use, I realized that the black material next to right toe is torn.
I walk on an average 2 miles on a flat track and I was expecting to have this shoe for atleast a couple of years, but alas, now I will have to let it go.

I bought this pair of shoes because it looked like another pair that I had pretty good luck with. Out of the box, these were like blocks of wood on my feet. They had to go back.

I have worn SKECHERS exclusively for the past 8 years because they are the only shoe that consistently fits me in a wide width. In particular, I need a shoe that is wide in the toe box, and SKECHERS are good for that. The most recent purchase from them, which is the same style I have been wearing for years now, was way too narrow. For the first time ever, I have a huge blister on the inside of my small toe after wearing them for only a week. It's very disappointing, as they have always been consistent on the wide width sizes until now.
