Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Women's Black Slip-On Walking Shoes by Skechers Performance by Jeremy Levendusky

Revainrating 4 out of 5

AWESOME to break in and wear but may not last long

I was scheduled to take my family to Disney World Florida for 8 days in the middle of a typically hot Florida August. I did my due diligence and looked at all the recommendations I could accept. When you walk that much, shoes are important. This shoe was recommended to me. THE GOOD: Walking in these shoes is like walking on clouds. I wore them for a week to work where I have a sedentary job but ran 3/4 mile twice a day and they have always been perfect. They have always felt great and have never been worn. No "normal" back or leg strain from other shoes in these children. When I broke in I had no blisters, no pain, nothing. They still looked new, even underneath. Then I went to Disney World without a change of shoes. I wore them every time for the first 2-3 days and throughout the day it was the same every time - they seemed to walk on cushions, were incredibly comfortable and never complained. No blisters and less pain than you would expect from a 6ft tall, 250lb man running around Disney chasing three kids. Shoes breathe well, so when wet they dry very quickly. THE BAD: By day 5 they were clearly worn out. A few treads/cushions/whatever you call the circles on the bottom have shriveled or worn almost completely. This essentially made them look like regular shoes, but with less cushioning than you would expect from a hiking shoe. They've been sitting there for 5 days and haven't come back to life, so I don't think they're doing any better. Let's call my scenario the worst. I'm obviously as hard on hiking boots as you might expect. But they lasted less than 2 weeks. If you have money and planning a 4-5 day hard trek, this might be a pair of disposable shoes. It's hard for me to tell how long they will last under normal conditions, but a pleasure to use while they are in new condition. Personally, I was hoping that they would retain their original performance for much longer.
