I’m not sure why people are raving about these shoes. I purchased these shoes about 2 months ago, based on the reviews and claims of how comfortable they are and how effective it helps in workouts. To be honest, I wore these shoes on and off for 3 weeks straight. I’ve never had so much ankle swelling and pain, in my entire ‘shoe buying’ life. Plus, I’m sorry again for those that think this is the best shoe ever, but I have to disagree. There is literally no comfort cushioning in these shoes. I felt like I was walking on cardboard the whole time. I finally had to take out the original cushions and put in my own. Even with the exchange in cushions, my ankle was still swelling. So, I figured I was walking in the shoes wrong. So, I decided to watch the video provided on sketchers/amazon site. Nope nothing wrong with the way I was walking, as it seemed I was walking in them correctly. So, next step..maybe I just need time to get used to them.. Well, my ankle swelled so badly that I could barely walk for 2 weeks. I had to consistently ice my ankle down. On top of that I eventually stop wearing the shoes. It was just too painful, as my knees where also starting to hurt.

I guess these shoes are not meant for everyone alike. It was just too much stress on my back, knees, hips and especially ankle. I honestly didn’t see any of the benefits that sketchers seem to claim. So, I decided to return the shoes. Thank goodness, I purchased them in Macy’s as they took them back without argument as I told them that my ankle was hurting in these shoes.

Even as I write this review, and having returned the shoes 2 months ago.. I still feel some pain in my ankle and knees. I say ‘buyer beware’. If you purchased these shoes, then try wearing them around the house, before you actually wear them outside. Or I hightly recommend if you just don’t purchase them, as they are not worth the money and I didn’t see any good benefits come out of these shoes.

I was really excited to get this shoe from Skechers but when I wore them on the treadmill the first time, after 15 minutes, the bottom of my feet felt like they were on fire. Sooo, being how I wanted this shoe for fitness — this shoe, unfortunately, is not for me (maybe it is just meant for walking around but on the treadmill, I wasn’t running and I was walking, and they hurt really bad. I had to return them, I’m afraid.

The shoe is not true size as it is too narrow. Why do you not make these in wide widths!?!

Never received them, although the purchase was debited to my credit card.

After a week sending emails to the seller finally got a response, notifying me that the order was canceled due to being out of stock.

Took 3 weeks to find why the shoes hasn't been delivered.

In all I'm relief since I bought a fantastic pair of Reebok shoes which I LOVE and are all i needed.

maybe it's unfair to give 1star to a product I didn't even tried, and probably are perfect, so I clarify that the one star is due the awful customer service Rating: 1 / 5
