Customer Reviews SKECHERS Energy - Downforce

I have worn these shoes for about 7 years. I walk about 2-3 miles daily for exercise and the shoe have typically lasted for 6 months per pair before the cushioning breaks down - the soles never wear out. The sole design is great for my arthritic toe joints. My last pair purchased gave me a nasty case of plantar faciitis - it feels like the heel cup is shorter - am terribly disappointed as I have worn these for years. I went up 1/2 size thinking my feet have done their aging thing(I'm 65), but the larger size feel strange also.

Tried on one shoe. Way too wide. Sent them back.

shape ups work well lost pounds got in shape helped with my diabetes,but the trail shoes hurt the top of my foot bad design cant return or exchange go to store try on!No ankle support,so really just the shape ups do work get non slip or all terrian.

I am a nurse on my feet all day and wore out a pair of Shape-Ups Regimens that were awesome but needed replacement. These didn't give me the same comfort, felt more like a pair of 2x4s strapped to my feet. Good shoes, but not what I was looking for, sorry.

The shoe color and quality was not the same as shown on website. I would have returned them, but I wore them for a full day before I noticed that it was also not the same quality. I finaly gave them away.

I love these shoes but within 2 weeks the top eyelets (which are plastic) broke and the shoe laces get caught in the broken section. I would think it might be a fluke however it has happened to 3 of the 4 eyelets. I hope they can make an improvement because I would buy again if they do.

Have had the stitching fail twice on this shoe after wearing two to three times. Did not run in the shoes or even do anything athletic just wore out for casual footwear?

Great constuction, POOR COMFORT AND FIT. Shoe physically hurts feet.

They are nice don't ge me wrong. But the top eyelet shoelace hole tore the first time I wore them!

Soul of left shoe came unglued after first wearing. Shoes are half size smaller than exact same model of shoe purchased last year. Whats up with that?

Worn daily for work. Did not last long at all. Bottom rubber became a slick with no traction quickly. Toe stitching torn fast. Cushion in sole compressed quickly and became uneven and uncomfortable.

These are a Great Price but i wear mine only like 3 days a week to work in retail and they are ripping the material from the soul. I loved them but would never purchase another pair

Was very disappointed with these shoes as I ordered the same size I have other Skechers in. They were way too big. Being a 6.5 I couldn't order one size smaller as that is the smallest they come in. Had to return for another design, hopefully they will fit correctly.

Too heavy - too stiff. Not ar all like previous Skechers (Downforce included)that I purhased. This order included two pairs, one of which I'm returning. I would return both, but I tried wearing the shoes in hopes they would loosen up, but they have not.

Outside of foot where toe material connects to side material they overlap causing discomfort. I can not wear this shoe although the same one in white is good. I returned the black pair already. Bob White

THE SHOE LOOKS AND FELT GREAT UNTIL I STARTED WEARING THEM. THERE IS A STIFF LEATHER SKETCHERS LOGO SEWED TO THE TOP OF THE TONGUE. WHEN YOU WALK IT HURTS THE TOP OF YOUR FOOT AND ABOVE THE ANKLE ON THE FRONT OF YOUR LEG. I TORE THE THREAD OUT AND TOOK IT OFF, BUT THERE IS STILL A LINING BEHIND IT THAT IS STIFF ALSO. ONCE YOU WEAR YOU CAN'T RETURN. MANUFACTURE DEFECT.... WON'T RECCOMEND, WASNT ON MY OTHER PAIR ENERGY SPORT.

These shoes were average at best.

The shoes seem fine but the shoelaces have already ripped. Now all I have is this multi-color shoelace rather than a black one. I have only worn the shoes twice.[...]

I am a long time skecher lover but this shoe is one of the worst shoes I've ever worn ! My feet get tired after each day of work and the tongue on the right shoe always shifts to the right leaving the laces on top of my foot ! There is no tongue loop for the laces to go thru . They just feel cheaper than all the other skechers I own . I hope its only a defect and My next purchase are normal or I would have to find another shoe make .

The webbing that holds the shoelace on fell off the first time they were laced up. There was no way to fix this so I sent them back. This is the second pair of skechers I have purchased that have done this. I will not be purchasing anymore.

After only 2 weeks of wearing the sneakers the seem came apart on the TOP of one of the sneakers. Skechers didn't promise to do anything at all for me. They wanted to inspect it and then review if it was my fault bla bla. I will NEVER buy Skechers again and I'm telling everyone about the horrible experience I had with these sneakers.

I was very happy with the fit and feel of these shoes but the lace eyelets came loose the second time that I wore them

I am on my 3rd pair of Energy After Burn shoes. I bought them because the very first pair I bought from Meijers, fit perfectly. The second pair which I bought on line, wore out prematurely(the toe came apart). When I contacted the company on line. I was not treated well. The 3rd pair of the the same shoe, same size, really hurt my feet. They seemed too narrow at the toe and also a bit short. I wear a size 13, which are hard to find locally, so a good fitting shoe is a real find. I think I am through buying this shoe. Three strikes and your out.

Bought at [...] alittle over a month ago. After 3 weeks notice small tear in leather on one side of shoe. [...]Decided to keep and repair shoe. Repair held but now whole side of shoe came apart where leather and side stripe come together. My fault I did not just get a refund but Sketchers is suppose to be a quality shoe so I gambled and lost [$].

Where to work have had them 2 months and they are already falling apart. This is my third pair of the same style. I would not buy them again.
