Sketchers

[Ingleby_Flash]

I’ve been suffering from Plantar Faciitis through running too much and was advised to buy a pair of these. I normally wear Converse which are dead flat and probably contributed to the problem too. I had to go back to the shop twice before I could bring myself to buy them, but they are good and I can walk better so as long as no one sees me in them then they’re a useful tool To getting me back running.

Nothing says your old like sketchers certainly not match day trainers

No brand comes close to Converse for ruining feet. All the support of those heritage elasticated plimsolls folk wore before sneakers came along - or so I have heard. Obviously I'm not old enough to vouch for this first-hand.

I've tried every brand going as I do a lot of walking and have recently decided to give sketchers a try.
By a country mile the most comfortable trainers I've owned and I've owned a lot.
Comfortable. Check
Reasonably priced. Check
Down with the kids trendy errrrrr 2 out of 3 ain't bad

My seventy five year old Mam loves them.

I am a Sketchers fan - bought a couple of pairs on a 60% discount when Debenhams closed.

Also bought a pair for heavier walking from their store in Teesside Park. Their soles have a gap to give more cushioning.

I have the physique of Chris Wilder/Ian Botham so my feet, ankles and lower limbs take some punishment when walking a few miles or more.

Sounds like they are the male equivalent of women wearing 6 inch stilettos, rather look cool than be comfortable for some people.
I have a pair and they are indeed a magnitude more comfy than any Adidas show that I own or have ever owned.

Really good shoes for the summer. Their golf shoes are the best I have ever had.

I've had the opposite experience sadly, and feel like I've wasted my money. They are super comfortable for walking around the course in, agreed. However, for a golf swing the toe end of the shoe and the upper must be too soft or something, and my toes bash in to the end with every swing. I end up completely sore toes by the end of the round. Reverted back to my old adidas yesterday!

I wish I hadn't bought Sketchers golf shoes

A recent convert when her indoors bought me a pair, I am now looking at the trail running version ("GOrun") for a half way between trainers and walking shoes.

As an unrelated question; whatever happened to the poster formerly known as "Comfortable_Shoes" is he still with us or have I merely lost track of his latest nom de plume?

FFS does it matter what age demographic are deemed to wear them?? If he finds them comfortable then so bit it.

Some people!

Have been wearing them for a few years (not constantly; that would be weird) and they really are super comfy. I'm at the stage in my life where comfort trumps fashion.

I could be wrong (and I normally am), but there's a user with a related name, something like Comfort's comforter that I had assumed was one and the same.

I think he changed his username.
