Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Skechers Performance Mens Sneaker: Black Athletic Shoes for Men by Jaie Bobin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The heel cup breaks and injures the foot

I've gone through 10 pairs of Skechers since 06/2015. I wear them everyday to my Florida pressure washer shop so it's important to note that I wear them about 6 hours a day 5 days a week and they are ALWAYS wet. They usually last around 6-8 months. There seem to be several Skecher models that look the same but have different names. My first two pairs had real gel soles, but after that they must have switched to memory foam. I prefer the gel sole, but the memory foam is comfortable, especially considering I'm on concrete all day. For my last purchase, I bought the Go Max model because the insole seemed to offer more support. Unfortunately I bought 2 pairs as I got them for a good price but both only lasted about 6 weeks/each. The problem is that the Go-Max has a flimsy plastic heel counter that tears and the sharp edges dig into the heel, making it unwearable. All other parts of the shoe still held up well. After noticing that the Persistent model has stretch material on the sides that the Go-Max doesn't have, making the Go-Max a bit more difficult to slide with your foot, especially when wet, which causes the heel cup to pinch during movement . put them on. Note that I never had this problem with 8 pairs of the Persistent model, which I reverted to. Overall a good shoe but this model doesn't suit me.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • A long time ago
