Customer Reviews SKECHERS Flex Appeal 3.0

Love, Love, Love these shoes. I have 3 pairs. Wish they came in more colors.

Overall love these shoes for light use, or to take along when traveling. They are very, very light weight, don't take up much room in my suitcase, don't make your feet too hot, and I can wear them comfortably all day for many miles walking around cities. Comfortable right out of the box. No blisters! They actually feel better to me without socks or with very thin socks because the heels are kind of shallow compared to a running-type sneaker. With socks I feel like the back of the shoe isn't high enough. These are NOT shoes for long runs, heavy use, rough trails and what not. If that's what you need, buy a shoe that's made to take that kind of abuse. These are not it. There's no real toe protection to speak of, they have light foot support, and the squishy/comfortable bottoms will eventually compact after a good amount of wear (and I'm talking about the actual bottoms of the shoes that get wrinkles after maybe 300-400 miles, not just the insoles). These are for running errands, walking around town, walking the dog. I have used them for light hiking on pretty well maintained trails at the very end of a two-month trip (wearing these shoes almost every day), knowing in advance I'd probably ruin the shoes (didn't really care at that point because they were at the end of their useful life). One trail was stone stairs, and the shoes were scratched up a bit along the edges and some of the rose gold color was coming off. One of the "S" letters on the side also started coming off. A few other trails were through woods. They will do okay for that in a pinch if you are sure-footed, otherwise, wear something else. My last hike was really wet, which killed the shoes completely. All this is not to dissuade you, but so you know what to expect if you are also a minimalist packer. I replaced the ones I threw away with an identical pair when I got home, and I'd get a third pair when these wear out. Several people mentioned that they liked the style of the shoes, and I like that they are low-key for sneakers, can blend in, and go with jeans and leggings. Overall, great shoe, great price. ruined them (which I knew would happen but didn't care by that point), tossed them before I went home, then bought a new pair when I got home.
