Customer Reviews SKECHERS Afterburn M. Fit

I've been a loyal Sketchers customer for at least 15 years, my first pair being the Mariner. Sketchers provided me with a comfortable wide and stylish shoe in a market limited in wide shoe choices. For years I was also wearing the Energy Vitality 4984EW, liking them so much that I'd buy multiple pairs when they went on sale. Well, in thier infinite wisdom, Sketchers stopped making them or hiker like them and I was forced to switch. The best I found was this shoe, the Afterburn Memory Fit. What a disappointment. I'm disabled and work in an office environment, so I'm hardly using the shoe to the extent others do and expected them to last at least 2 years like the Energy did. Unfortunately, the shoe lasted 2 months and the side seam separated. I still buy the Stamina Nuovo 50988EW, but have since been very disappointed in Sketchers overall.

Rib on ball of foot separated from sole, only lasted 1 month. Not for heavy use.

First pair was very comfortable to wear daily so wife bought new pair as Christmas present they didn't even last a month and the memory foam in the heel was a big hole and the back wore holes in my socks. Will not buy again

These shoes felt amazing when I first put them on! I could not believe that a shoe could be so comfortable, but then after a week, after the memory foam had compressed, I realized that the memory foam was the only support the shoes had. It now feels like I am walking on concrete. I have worn Sketchers for over 18 years, and this is by far the worst shoe I have ever owned.

Purchased these for my husband on 3/6/15 giant holes in the interior foot-bed by 4/18/15. These were worn for everyday casual wear. They were never worn for running.

Not comfortable after a few hours of walking on cement.

Very comfortable for first couple of weeks, not good as work shoe since they only lasted just over a month. I will check to see if shoe is warranted.

I work for a delivery company and take several hundred deliveries a week. I've had these shoes for about 3 months and they are worn out. They are hard to get used to as well. Tie them to tight and they will hurt your feet. They don't have enough arch support.

How can shoes be too tight & too loose? Put memory foam in the insoles, that's how. I wear my shoes around the house all day. At rest, the foam would expand and make the shoes feel very tight. When I would walk, the foam would compress and the shoes would become very loose. IMHO, memory foam insoles are a terrible idea.

Don't like them. Didn't realize the inside of the tongue was red. Too much of a spongy feel

These shoes for me squish flat and have no arch support. Im on my feet all day for work and by the end of the day Im in pain.

don't like them
