Customer Reviews SKECHERS Work Max Cushioning Elite SR

I used to wearthe shape ups. Most comfortable shoe I ever wore. These shoes come the closest to the shape ups I've been ableto find. It doesn't feel like the cushion runs upthe middle of the shoe.

I walk 17k steps a day. I need the bottom cushioning. I will have to use thicker socks to get the top cushioning for the true comfort I usually get from Sketchers.

Very happy with the cushioning, comfortable when your on your feet all day

I bought these to wear to work. Very pleased with them. Said no skid soles and they are. Went into a paint shop with water on the floor, always slippery, not today.

Bought these for working, as I'm walking constantly at work (I average about 14k steps a day just at work). My feet already hurt so severely that I can barely stand up sometimes, but these shoes have helped allow me to walk at work with very little issues. The padding in them is amazing. Well worth the price, and I would definitely buy them again. My only con is that the wide size does feel slightly narrow in the very middle of the shoe, but perhaps my feet are just extra wide. After about a week of wearing them, I got used to it.

Works

I cover a lot of distance at work and needed something to cushion my steps. These are lightweight and have a very thick cushioned sole to absorb my steps. No achy feet at the end of a 10 hour day.

Nice shoes I like them. I wish they were a size up not enough room but it was the correct size

I really thought these would be pretty close to the Shape Up's, but they aren't, they don't have enough cushion for me. I've had major back surgery, so I'm very careful of the shoes I wear. Otherwise I really like them, I put some insoles in, so I can see if it helps, I work 12 hour shifts.

I work a job where I am on my feet walking a lot on concrete floors, I need a shoe with plenty of cushion and slip resistant is a bonus, these shoes fit all the above! Just wish I had ordered a 1/2 size smaller

I am a cashier at a grocery store and am really happy with these shoes. My job requires a lot of standing and these are comfortable and lightweight. I got the wide width and feel I have plenty of room and they don't feel loose.

The cushioning in the sole could be softer, more like the shape ups used to be. I wish that shape ups were still available at a reasonable price. I loved them. They were my favorite all-time shoe.

I am a restaurant manager and stand at least 12 hours a day so needed a shoe that has a lot of cushion and where durable. They also need to last longer than 6 months so am trying these.

Very comfortable !!! It's not easy for me to find comfy shoes . The do have some cushion & support. I do like the height, it adds comfort. I'd like the sides of the soles not so bulky, they make the shoe less attractive, not to feminine. Almost perfect. I still miss the Skechers Shape-Ups !!! Please bring them back !!!!

These shoes are amazing. I work extremely long hours on concrete floors in a warehouse and and nearly every other shoe I've worn had my feet screaming in pain by the end of my shift. Not these. The only reason I didn't give them 5-stars is because I've been told that due to the make-up of the shoe (canvas top) I'm no longer allowed to wear them at work. Hopefully a leather version is on the works.

I love the super thick cushioning under the sole, reminds me of Shape-Ups, which I miss dearly < /3

purchased this shoe 2025, it was great for work. No complaints. Purchased this shoe a 2nd time this year and it has been less than great like an insert was left out of it. The sides rub on your ankle.

Fit size was great and all but the product didn’t last very long

I had these shoes for about 6 months before wearing a hole in them. I wore my watchful sketchers for over a year and loved them. These did not last nearly as long.

I purchased for work. I stand 9-13 hours a day. Although the shoes are comfortable for the most part they lack the cushioning of your slip in shoes.

I used to believe this was my perfect shoes for work. I work at healthcare and walk a lot during my shift. I have ordered this shoes once every year or more. Total of 8 or 9 so far I believe. Shoes life time is getting shorter and shorter and the last pair this exact model. I didn't think it has enough cushion so I had to buy additional insole to put them in. I don't know they changed the materials? Anyways I might try the hands free slip in work shoes but I don't think I'll order this particular model anymore.

I'm hoping these soften up. I've had them 2 weeks. I'm still having to trade out my shoes half way through my shift.

Size wise it's perfect. But I did have issues with the quality of the shoe.

I got my regular size 9 and wonder if i shouldve got a 9.5 or even a 10 which is crazy. Because i wear a size 8.5 in stylish shoes but size up to a 9 for work shoes so i have even more wiggle room. My feet were killing me yesterday at my server shift.
