Review on Skechers Afterburn Strike Memory Men's Fashion Sneakers: Stylish Footwear for Every Occasion by Omar Svagera

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Unexpected bonus: good grip in snow and mud

Purchased after abdominal surgery to avoid bending over to tie shoelaces. I continued to use them after the restoration when I found their excellent grip in the snow and mud on my weekday walks between home and work. At one point there's a short, often icy, 45-degree slope where my other shoes can't grip, so I get on all fours or take a stick with me. The approach to this slope is 50 feet of flat, narrow shale that is often slippery from snow, ice, or flowing water. These Skechers have traction in both sections. They also appear to be very water resistant and warm. It snowed today and I'll have done 3 miles in 1-2 inches of mud by the time I get home tonight - no problem.
