I need a 5E width. This is as close as I can find. Praying that they will strech with wear.My Shape-Up sneakers are more comfortable and a better width.

I wear a 3e to 4e depending on the last the shoe was built around. I would like to see more wide widths on the GO series. I would definitely make more purchases.

Purchased to use as a work shoe walking on concrete for 8 hours a day. After only 4 weeks the outer sole showed noticeable wear on the lateral edges. I would say this is not a good shoe for anyone who has a tendency to roll onto out edges of foot. Foot pain started up right at 5 weeks when the entire outer edge showed that it started compressing. I am 5'8 and 270 and compared to other shoes this one breaks down way too soon, others have asted me at least 6 months and more and that is with every day use. Great shoe for average use, not heavy or hard use, and do not get if you have a tendency to supinate as the support is not there for that kind of foot action. Maybe avoid if you are a big person over 250

I use these for everyday wear and stagewear (musician). The only reason I am "into shoes" is due to foot problems I have - Supination and heel pain. I got them to help with heel pain I have been experiencing recently. I wear a 2E width but had to get the 4E width. Webpage described wide widths as equivalent to 2E and 3E, but 4E is what was sent and is much too wide for me. I subsequently ordered a normal width pair, which has the same issues I will describe. Memory Foam pad is good but not great. There are three things that would make this shoe better - (1) Make in-between widths, as 4E is not for everybody, (2) Add an extra pair of eyelets at the tops of the shoe for snugness (my feet slide down into the shoe thereby causing pain on my arch), (3) Add some kind of arch support. As it is, there is none and it causes pain rather than relieving it. It's a good shoe but needs work. Concept is a great idea but it needs tweaking. These may work for others, but for me, I have to add inserts/orthotics to alleviate problems caused by poor design.

The After Burn is a fine looking shoe but not nearly as comfortable as the Juke. Wish that Skechers made more choices in extra wide shoes such as the new Runners.

I own several pairs of Skechers all size 9.5 and extra wide. I ordered the same size and these shoes just felt too snug and weren't comfortable to wear.

Sneakers were advertised as slip resistant. They were not at all resistant to slipping and I am returning them as a result. They provided no more resistance than 10+ year-old tennis shoes. Very disappointed. Trying another pair of Skechers with a totally different tread pattern.

Use these shoes for my daily 4 mile walk. I've only had the a couple weeks and already the memory foam is coming dislodged and sliding to the toe of the shoe

I have ordered 9.5 and 10. They both are the same size or feels this way. I thought about keeping them to see if they would loosen up after wearing them but decided against in the event they didn’t. I really like this shoe and will try a 10.5 in hopes that it will fit like a 10.

I’ve been buying these for years and each time I do, it seems like they become more and more cheaply made. The nose of the sole is now glued to the fabric portion of the shoe rather than being stitched, which causes them to fail early. The uppers also feel more rigid (likely from the use of plastic internally) and have little cushioning, causing them to feel less comfortable. All-in-all, they are what they are: a cheap sneaker. Which is why I was glad to get them for a more reasonable price through Zappos, rather than overpaying at a retail store or on eBay. Very happy with Zappos' quick shipping and minimal use of packing material! :-)

I have bought several of these shoes and they are my go to hiking shoes, unless I need the boot height. Great tread! Priced to allow the heavy hiker replacement.

Not wide enough design flaw. Top of sneaker toward toes (where the laces end) does not allow enough width to match the wideness of the sneaker. The design in that spot should be about another half inch or so wider to match the width provided by the rest of the sneaker for the width to actually be experienced in the over all fit. Tight and painful across the top of the sneaker at that specific point. If a larger size was available I would have tried going that route as every other part of the sneaker was very comfortable and I did like the color and look of the design.

These really feel poorly on my feet. I have orthotics and have been experiencing heel pain and I thought these might help. They are really stiff and feel a bit like walking in cereal boxes, that is, no give. My feet actually fall asleep in them while sitting at my desk for a few hours. Told my podiatrist and his advice was to get shoes that make my feet happy. Guess that's what I'll do next.

Been a long time sketcher fan, but these shoes had problems from when I open the box the stitching on the shoes was very very poor and half of it was falling out!!!! The quality of sketchers shoes has been declining for the past several years, sketchers needs better quality control.

The shoes are sized right -- neither too big nor too small -- and the style is what I look for in a walking shoe (many sneakers and walking shoes nowadays are downright nauseating to look at, but this model nails it appearance-wise). However, they are uncomfortable. Despite a proper fit, they seem designed to work your toes toward the front of the shoe. I've never quite experienced this dynamic before. It jams your toes into the front. If you're walking down an incline, forget about it -- but even on level ground it's problematic.
