Customer Reviews SKECHERS Bikers - Step-Up

Disappointing - I was hopeful that these shoes would be good for vacation travel, but I wore them on a weekend trip and they rubbed the back of my heel too much. Just a few hours of walking caused a severe blister, making it difficult to wear them again the next day. I'll try some heel guards and hopefully that will make them workable, but I definitely wouldn't choose this style again.

Should be comfy, but give me blisters on my heels - Every time I put these shoes on they feel great, UNTIL I WALK IN THEM (I live in NYC, so I do a lot of walking). They give me blisters on my heels. I went and bought heel cushions that you put inside your shoes, they seem to work. Although toward the end of my day I still notice a little chaffing. I think the back of the shoe that rubs against the heel needs to be lower.

Bikers - Step Up - Bad choice for a walk around the city. These are OK for to and from the store. But a very bad choice for any serious walking.

Cute shoe but rubs against the top of foot - It's an extremely cute shoe and I get lots of compliments, but the first time I wore it for a full day, one foot was rubbed raw by the straps across the top and the other by the inside-top part of the shoe. The narrow bottom of the sole also makes me walk funny to compensate. I also think the toe box is a little short and the shoe doesn't get a lot of ventilation so it feels very "hot" inside. I'm only writing this because I wish some of the other reviews had mentioned these problems more prominently.

Color difference - They are very cute and comfortable, for the most part. The shoes irritated my feet right around the top. Just a warning: the color (Luggage leather) is a lot darker than it looks, and don't plan on walking around all day in these. Also, the size was accurate.

Not good with socks - I bought this style in the summer shoe and loved it. This shoe does not fit as well, it is not comfortable with socks. The cushioning is great - I have problem feet and wore the summer style with no complaints. The velcro on the strap holds well. I really wanted this shoe to work, but ended up returning it.

Cute shoe/sneaker. Tried on the shoes and too small. I hesitate to order a size larger as that may be too big.

These shoes were bizarre. The sole only covered the outer half of the mid-part of the shoe. They felt as though they'd been made for a person who walks on the outside of their feet. Cute looking, but would have wrecked my feet by forcing poor stance.

I worked in retail and needed a pair of shoes that were comfortable enough to be able to be on my feet all day but still looked nice enough to go with the required uniform. These shoes were very comfortable, and while they lasted, they did exactly what I needed them to. I enjoyed the grip on the bottom of the shoes as I worked on slippery tile and never felt like I was sliding around, which is a feature I didn't get with more traditional looking flats. However, they only lasted for about 2 months of 20 or so hours of wear a week. The strap attachment on the inside of the shoe (where it crosses back over to the other side of the shoe) wore through and finally broke off after about 2 months, on both shoes. I found the straps had to be velcroed tight in order for my foot to not flop around as I walked. Apparently the straps were not made to handle any sort of tension, as they were pretty much destroyed. Had I been doing anything other than just walking around, I might have understood the wear and tear, but for how much I paid for them and how little I wore them, they were a waste of money. I do not recommend.

I have bought this style in the past and liked them very much and tramped all over Eastern Europe with them. This pair seems chunkier, clunkier, less flexible, and made with cheaper materials. Sadly they are going back

Not the best support. Bought these for walking in Paris, and honestly, my feet killed. I broke them in before leaving, and while they start of being comfortable, they lack enough support - for me anyway.

Wow, I feel a little dupped by all the positive reviews. I am generally not picky and can wear a wide variety of fitting shoes. I don't have any feet issues. These are really not very comfortable. They are a cute style but I guess I'm spoiled by higher brand (and priced) shoes like Keen and J-41. They rub around the edges and have a weird heel base. Probably won't buy any more Sketchers. You get what you pay for!

These shoes made me cry. I loved them out of the box and they seemed fine walking around the house. Three days later, walking around an amusement park with my extended family, they cut into the tops of my feet and scraped the skin off the back of my ankles. At one point I walked on hot asphalt rather than spend another second in these little torture chambers. I would love to return them, but they are most definitely "worn." Now I plan to burn them.

I'm very sad. These are very cute, actually fit my wide feet, have a round toe & good cushioning. However, although I don't have bunions, I have arthritis in those knuckles. This shoe makes my feet roll in, putting more pressure on those knuckles & an uncomfortable feeling in my arches of being stretched. Finding comfortable shoes (that aren't completely ugly) is a huge challenge for me. But the silver lining here is Zappos - their broad size range & fabulous customer service mean I can try, try again. It's the only place I shop.
