Customer Reviews SKECHERS Work Max Cushioning Elite SR

I purchased these for work. I need a wide width shoe since I have to wear an ankle brace as well. The shoes are really comfortable. The sole is great and definitely help absorb most of the ground shock from walking. I am on my feet and walking all day at work and on top of having a weak ankle I also have plantar fasciitis so I have to also wear special insoles. These shoes have been great so far and have plenty of room for my ankle brace and insoles while still being extremely comfortable. My only complaints are the memory foam sole needs to be softer it is definitely too firm, and the shoe laces need to be a little longer but that is more of a personal preference since I do wear the ankle brace it leaves me very little lace to tie. Also the toe area does need to be slightly wider and have a little more cushioning on the sides so the toes don't rub against the inside causing calluses or blisters. I have only had the shoes for a couple of weeks so don't really know how durable they are yet but hopefully they will last longer than 6 months since that's the longest all the shoes I've had have lasted.

I have had lots of tennis shoes and I know comfort. These are great. Like Hokas

Wasn't real comfortable for me. But a very well made shoe.

They are very comfortable shoes and look great with my uniform! My only problem was the insoles would rise up on the arch and dig into my archs, possibly my own foot problems. I replaced the insoles. I have recommended them to my coworkers. I work in a nursing home and walk a lot, they have held up very well this first month of wear.

These are work shoes. I'm on my feet, moving my entire work shift , usually after the first hour or two I used to start limping due to leg pain . Thanks to these shoes easing the pressure off of my feet and legs I can last my shift with no limp. These shoes are a little narrow at the toe, but not aweful to wear. I would buy them again, but would get a half size larger.

They was a half size smaller and the wide width didn't feel wide enough. Could be cuz they are brand new.

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.

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

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.

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
