Customer Reviews SKECHERS Work Max Cushioning Elite SR

Purchased to wear to work...on my feet for hours 8-10 hours...I thought they would help my feet, legs, and back not hurt as bad but don't seem to help much...they still hurt terribly even after wearing the shoes.

Bought these shoes 5 months ago for work. They have been amazing but the toe area is so small (even though I purchased the WIDE version) and has caused me to have painful ingrown toenails. I'm so sad.

These shoes were great for two weeks of alternating them with a pair of deluxe walkers I got from shoe show. I work 12 hour shifts that require me to walk on concrete the entire time; now my feet hurt just as bad as they did before I bought these shoes. The deluxe walkers are holding up better.

I wear a size 6.5 , so ordered a size 7. They are way too big, and i don't own a printer to be able to print the return sheet.

I am on my feet 10 to 14 hours a day and for the money I thought these would be more comfortable. I put an extra redwing insert in and it helps but the heel of my shoes are loose so my heel comes out. Even without the insert. And the dang things will not stay tied!! Kinda disappointed for the money. Hope they last cause I've worn them so can't return them! Don't think I would buy again

I am going to order again just waiting to see if the sewing malfunction is not there again,in the shoes I found loss in stitching on each at the right upper side in the shoe. Made me concerned about wear !

I've used the product just 3 days, it's soft at first but everyday when I got home my feet and legs hurt. I wore size 5 shoes and always get 5.5 on my work shoes so my toes have enough room. It was disappointing knowing I love sketchers and I love their shape ups at work and couldn't find it anymore. I tried this one and it's just that this thing doesn't work for me, maybe for others will work.

Ugly so tried to return them, gave the info asked for, computer didn't recognize the order! Couldn't get any response from "customer service" no matter which method I tried! Easy returns - WHAT A JOKE!! I will never buy Skechers again! Mine are boxed up, still waiting for a return label that will never come.

Bought them to wear to work at hospital. Am on my feet on cement floors all day. Thought they would be more like the shape-ups, according to the description online. Would like for Sketchers to either start making shape-ups again or add more cushion & soul to this shoe. It fits nice & is comfortable, but needs more rocker motion and cushion between your foot & the floor.

The shoe offers some impact protection for working on concrete floors. However there is no gel or memory foam inner sole that would make them much more comfortable. I still have tired feet at the end of the day. They are hot to wear too.

I bought these for work because I was going to be standing for long periods of time. My Danskos were hurting one foot, so I needed to switch it up for a while and had been looking at sneakers. I had Skechers in nursing school and loved them. Now I find the arch isn't supportive enough for long periods of time on my feet. The cushioning was great on the rest of my foot, and they were breathable, which was nice. I had to order them in black because the other styles were sold out. My husband said I looked like a janitor wearing black thick shoes with my blue scrubs. I would order them again, just in a different color, and I will have to put arch inserts in.

Need more arch support

Love the extra height but not good for standing all day

I bought these mainly for work. I expected a softer cushioning but it is harder than I expected. And close to 2 weeks now and my feet still hurt after a few hours of wear. I didn't expect break-in would take this long!

very tight

They are ok I will wear them because I bought them. They are just not the shape ups

Walking all day on concrete, these shoes do the job of keeping comfort all shift!

This shoe is ok. The shoe I fell in love with was the shape ups. I have never had an other shoe including other brands that made my feet feel so good. I could walk the zoo. Wish you could bring them back. My father also wore them. He has back issues and now his feet and back hurt. Whoever complained that they didn't help them lose weight didn't have hurting feet. Please give us a shoe that feels like the shape ups if you can't bring them back.I won't say I'm unhappy but I haven't been pleased with an shoe since

I was trying to find shoes that worked with flat feet and with diabetes, and these shoes came up. I was really excited to finally get a pair of shoes that doesnt hurt my feet. Once i got these shoes, they hurt the sides of my feet. They hurt all over and it numbs my toes a little. Probably just me but I'll have to sadly return these

I am a nurse and I bought these shoes to wear to work. I did not like the way they fit my feet. The arch support was not in the right spot and hurt my feet. They were also a little tight in the heel area, though there was plenty of room in the toes

Don't comfortable for to work.

I thought with max cushioning that they would help at work. They are just ok. Would actually return them if I could.

I bought this shoes in October of 2025 they are and were my daily users for work. I work in the food industry so I'm on my feet and walking for 8 hours a day for about 40 hours a week or so. The shoes were easy to break in but now 6 months later and the shoes are literally falling apart at the seams. For over 100 dollar I would've expected more than 6 months of usage before they fell apart. Would definitely NOT RECOMMEND FOR SOMEONE THATS ON THEIR FEET A LOT OF THE DAY.

They look nice, but they felt a half a size too small. I also slipped on the wet floor of my workplace. The shoes are advertised as "slip resistant"

They feel good when I am walking not so good when just standing
