Customer Reviews SKECHERS Mariner

The width is too small for a men's 7 1/2

I had two pairs of bootsalready and they wear out quickly. I wear maybe once or twice a week and in under three years are falling apart and water leaks in from the tread. I love this style but quality of Sketchers has gone down horrifically. When I was a teenager many tears ago I had a pair of boots that lasted 20 years. I now own 7 pair of Sketchers, My wife 5 pair and all 3 of our kids 2 to 3 pair. And all of them had terrible quality. We bought only Sketchers for years and years but now I am not sure. Please fix as we LOVE Sketchers.

I use the shoes for my everyday activities, which are in the office and around the house. Nothing too heavy duty. I am on my 4th pair now, and I've had the soles fall completely off of one pair (glue failed), and the insides wore out in the other pair after 2 months. The other 2 pairs have been great, and I wouldn't change a thing. Who knows?

I have bought these in the past and been pleased however this pair had a noticeable squeak with each step, one shoe especially.

Wears out very quickly

I have a short, wide foot with a high arch that is difficult to find shoes for. the size I usually stay with is an 8 1/2 4E or 9 wide depending on the shoe so I envy all you folks with "normal" feet! I work in the Aviation industry on the maintenance side of things so my shoes are exposed to a plethora of fluids such as jet fuel,hydraulic fluid,oils,sealants,etc. and the soles must be able to tolerate this hash environment to which I have not had them long enough to determine their suitability as of yet but what I can say is that the sole on these boots are designed more for outdoor, non pavement activities due to their large lugs and heels(not sure why boots don't have more wedge design soles anyway) One problem I am running into is that it seems most manufactures feel the need to make the heel area wide as well which is not necessary for most of us that wear wide shoes!

I deliver propane. On a hard hose pull where I get on my toes and bend the ball of the foot hard the soles separate after a while. If not for this these would be a great work shoe.

I will be sending back this second pair of shoes I bought on the internet. I got a size 13 which was the size of my last shoe but way to big now, then got a 12 but only had narrow so they are to narrow now, i want to like these shoes because the ones I had before I wear them until they were dead but I just cant be that happy with these new ones yet.

As with other recent purchases of footwear I've made the rounded shoelaces that have replaced the flat ones comes loose and even untied at times. The shoe itself seems fine, but I've only had them a short while. I'll post again in 4 - 6 months.

wear to school, but need to return them, Way too big.

I had bought before that's why I purchased again need break in

Bought a pair of Mariners in size 12 which ended up being too big. Couldn't return because I wore them to work and got metal chips in the bottom. So I figured I'd try these out in 11.5. They came fit fine to wear around the house. Wore them to work the next day they just hurt and are still too big .

Have worn this style and brand for over twenty years

Very uncomfortable and had to return. Was digging into my ankles.

I recommend against purchasing shoes online. I bought this same style of shoes in a store 10 years ago and I loved them. This pair I bought feels like it's made of lighter material, we'll see how long they last. The shoes look quite nice and generally fit well. However, the left shoe kinks in the wrong spot when I walk thus digging into the top of my pinky toe. Had I tried these on in a store, I would have found this out and could choose a different set. I'll reserve judgement on price, as I've only had the shoes a few weeks. In conclusion, best to try shoes on before purchasing.

I really liked these shoes. They fit well and were very comfortable.I've been having trouble finding work shoes I like, and I thought I finally found The answer. But then...7 days after I recieved them in the mail,"I ordered online as there is no stores in our city" I looked down and saw a hole the size of a nickle on the toe where the seam is. The thread didnt break , it was the leather that was torn. The leather seemed to be very thin, and soft. As I was going to make a trip to the other side of our state anyway, I looked up the address of one of the factory outlet stores. I then returned them. Exchange was not possible as they did not stock this kind of shoe. I then purchased another style of shoe that they did have in stock, "Tom cats" They seem rugged enough. After I returned home I looked up reviews on this shoe "Mariners" and see that recently other people have had problems with thinner or less durable leather on these shoes. I hope the manufacturer is not starting to use lesser quality materials in a cost cutting move. It would be a shame if This brand ended up like all the rest of the "less thann quality" brands.
