Customer Reviews SKECHERS Max Cushioning Premier - Vantage

Max Cushioning is a little deceptive. It's not a bad shoe, comparable to a $40 pair of Adidas.

bottoms wear out .

Shoes are fine for the first 3 hrs after that it's straight concrete city. There needs to be more cushion in the shoe. Making the sole thicker doesn't exactly do it. Add thick cushion to all shoes we will solve 90 % of all foot problems.

I'm so disappointed. The width is perfect, the shoe has the right stability for my needs, and overall would be a great shoe...IF I could remove the insole and use the custom insoles my podiatrist says I need and which I've used the past several years. Every other shoe I've purchased has removable insoles. Unfortunately, the brand I have been wearing eliminated the style that fit correctly and the style that replaced it isn't as wide and hurts my feet. I am on the hunt for a brand I can love and be loyal to. But I need to use my custom inserts. I'm not happy.

I wear these shoes all day, everyday. These shoes are really comfortable but the tread on the bottom wears out too quickly.

The walking on a cloud comfort initial experience wears out very quickly. My old pair of Skechers lasted about a year, this new pair doesn't hold up wearing them all day every day on hard surfaces at work.

shoes were to large

They look good but not comfortable

Great shoe for casual wear but it is not a good shoe for exercise walking. After about two weeks (3 miles a day) the shoes were done, and the plantar fasciitis returned.

Ok for walking ONLY !

Very comfortable, I prefer the style# 54440. That shoe held up for 2 million steps.

Use for walking exercise, but tendency to grab concrete sidewalks make it a little risky

Nice shoes but the shoe laces are too small unless you are a size or two smaller and like bulky shoes around your feet. needs a minimum 2-3 inches extra.

Product is OK but was expecting a bit more cushion.

Use the pair for work to help reduce stress to knees and hips. Works well for this. As said earlier, annoying squeak coming from heel if right shoe.

I purchased the Max because they looked like the old "Shape Ups" that were discontinued several years ago. I absolutely loved The Shape Ups. I've never found any shoe anywhere as cushy and comfortable as those. If I'd known Sketchers was going to stop making them I would have bought a lifetime supply. The Sketchers Max are fine but they are NOTHING like the Shape Ups. For that, I am very disappointed.

I really wanted these shoes to work, but because the inserts are glued in I could not try them out with my own orthotic inserts. Only way to do that was to rip out the inserts and I did not want to take the risk because I wanted the option to return them. Also, the extra wide still felt a little narrow. Maybe with time they would have stretched a bit, I don't know. They look cool and are similar to the Hoka One One, but ultimately I decided that this shoe is an inferior imitation of the Hoka One One. Maybe if I could put my own insert in and try them out for a while, I could reach a different conclusion. But instead I returned them because of that issue. Doesn't Skechers not realize that many people wear orthotic inserts and it's much better to make shoes that have removable inserts?

Haven't worn yet, because can't decide if they are to big.

as I stated above my first pair wore out from the inside first. Especially around the heels where my foot rubs against the inside of the heel.

I bought a pair of Max Cushioning Premier Elites and love them. I ordered these on line because they were on the same page in the catalogue as the White Elites. They are close but no cigar. The fabric on the sides is durable, light weight and breaths, BUT the shoe design with that fabric does NOT offer very much side support. The front of my foot would shift and could go over the edge. The rear of the shoe would allow my ankle to roll over and strain my ankle in a sudden shift in direction or coming down stairs. Very poor shoe built on top of the best possible combination of soles but poorly executed.

I am a serious walker and wanted a shoes for that but this is not the shoe. This would be good for standing on hard surfaces. Like the shoe otherwise.

The shoes have a very good quality upper and very nice standard laces. Unfortunately the shoes have given me blisters and a significant amount of damage to the shoes sole from tarmac and gravel paths.

I could not be happier with the product.

Usually buy Brooks shoes as I'm an avid walker 8-10 miles per day. It is simply to early to tell as I'm interested in durability over several months of rotating my shoes!

I need a wider shoe
