Comfortable shoes
Ok, I just got these. Have only worn them a few times. That being said, these might be the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. As several other reviewers have said, they feel like you're wearing a pair of slippers. That doesn't mean that they feel flimsy, because they don't. The shoes seem solidly made. They are light weight. So far, have been very comfortable walking long distances. I wore them to the State Fair over the weekend, and had no problems. Best of all, these shoes are true slip-ons. I'm closing in on 60 and overweight. Not having to bend over to tie shoes is a big plus for me.I'm planning on updating my review in a few months. I'm going to wear these as my everyday shoes and see how they hold up.Update 11/21/17: I've now been wearing these as my every-day shoes for months. They are holding up well. Still very comfortable. No obvious signs of deterioration.

DEEEEEliciouis for the feet!!!
They are like walking on a perfect surface. Seriously, I am extremely fussy when it comes to foot wear and that doesn't necessarily mean expensive; just what fits and is comfortable for an 8-10 hour wear/walking around session. These look so nice that you will certainly be able to wear them at 90 percent of most of your activities. Knock around the house, walk in the park, sightseeing in all but the most demanding of places and just general get in the car and go pick up some milk and goodies situations! WELL WORTH the $50! Now if I could just get a pair of hiking shoes by Skechers that fit the same as these loafers!UPDATE: 1/13/18....these are such comfortable shoes that I bought another pair. I alternate each pair every couple of days and find it keeps the odor easier to control!UPDATE: 2/10/20....still comfortable as heck and very durable as well. They seem to wear down less (the entire rubber bottom) than other "sneakers!" Although this is certainly NOT a sneaker style they are, as I stated in the earlier review, as comfortable as sneaks!Hey folks,... I spend a small fortune in time, energy, and coin on stuff that I buy and use here on amazon so, if this review was HELPFUL,...well you know what to do! Many thanks!

They fall apart
Bought these Schetchers to use on a cruise. Wore them for 2 days and the elastic came apart at the seams. What good is comfort if they fall apart? Amazon no longer gives you an easy way to contact seller!

A Winner
By far, this is the most comfortable shoes from Skechers I have ever worn. At times,it is confusing to make sense of all the many names and series for their shoes. I was lucky! If you want :light weight,soft foot bed with memory foam,socks optional, and wear it out of the box? This shoes is for you!

He needed something lightweight and easy to put on
I got these for my dad, who has Parkinson's. He needed something lightweight and easy to put on. Also, he needed something non-skid but not the big bulky soles you see on most athletic bottoms - as he shuffles when he walks so he can't have anything that "grabs" the carpet. These shoes worked out so well that he asked for a second pair.

Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.
Skechers makes the absolute best casual wearing shoes that I have ever worn.I purchased several different models about 1 year ago.Of the models that I purchased, this particular model is without a doubt the most comfortable.I purchased this model AGAIN, because I am so happy with the first pair, and I do not want to take a chance on Skechers stopping production of this model.Whenever I wear out the 2 pairs that I currently have, and which I wear 99 percent of the time, I will purchase this model again.I do not know what I will do, if Skechers stops production of this model.If you want a very comfortable pair of shoes, these are the ones I recommend!JCFUpdate: 2019-03-18 - I am still wearing this first pair that I ordered. Yes, the cushion is starting to wear thin in a few places, but it is still usable after almost 2 years. After 2 years, the front rubber tab is finally starting to pull away slightly on my left shoe. After 2 years, the tread is getting very thin. But, these have been my daily shoes, for both work and pleasure, since I purchased them 2 years ago. I would say that I definitely got my money's worth out of them. I will probably start wearing the spare pair that I purchased previously, and I am planning to order another pair, to be used again as a future replacement. I like these shoes so much, that I'm afraid to try any other Skecher models... Hahaha... I'm completely sold on these shoes... I even purchased Skechers for my 19 year old son, and he also wears them daily, as his go-to shoes...

Comfortable but do not last
These shoes were comfortable to wear like other Sketchers but did not last 3 months. I have been a big fan of the Sketchers Go Walk range but thought I would give these a try. I was initially happy with them, they were comfortable - not as comfortable as Go Walk, but nothing to really complain about. However, after 1 month of usage there were signs that the insoles were breaking apart. That worsened and by month 3 several chunks of insole have just fallen out of the shoe (see the pictures attached). To give some context - im not the most active person in the world....I would definitely have expected these to be constructed better and last longer. I will be avoiding a replacement pair. Go look at the Go Walk range instead...

Everything you expect, worth the extra money.
These are very comfortable 'eveyday' shoes. Quick and easy to slip on, they're great for popping out for those quick jobs. But they're so comfortable, you can happily wear them for a countryside walk long drive. Their comfort lies in the fact that they're so light. The fancy-pants foam base provides the perfect amount of support, yet you dont feel the lumps and bumps. They do not need to be worn in, like a lot of new shoes. You can just start wearing these for long periods straight away. I only go these two weeks ago, but haven't used any other shoes since. They look good too. You could wear them with most things, but probably not your sunday best.They are slightly large (wide) for the size. I've got narrower feet and found these size 8 have wriggle room. I tried the size smaller, which were far too tight. It's not a problem. If anything, it adds to the comfort, as there's room for your feet to breathe. Just be aware of this. The mesh top means they aren't waterproof. That said, they've held-up to wet grass and dry very quickly.Pros: Very comfortable, light, stylish, practical.Cons: Slightly baggy, premium price.Conclusion: Wholeheartly recommend you invest in these. Exceeded my expectations. I've tried generic cheaper brands or non branded ones, that are cheaper. They just aren't as good and can't image they would last as long. Go on, treat yourself.

Best thing I've bought - possibly ever !
Marvellous - I bought these as slippers because the quality and comfort of traditional slippers is now appallingly poor and unless its Xmas time there isn't a decent choice in the shops. Buying online with the comfort and quality issues is just not worth it. I tried a pair of these on while wandering through Debenhams one day and they were amazing but the price was just silly. A quick search and I found the same ones at less than half the price. Bought two pairs, both via Amazon, different colours and different sellers at slightly different prices. Even at half the Debenhams price they are pricier than your average slipper; cheaper than some (eg Hugg @ £100 !!); but ten times more comfortable and so far, much better made. I wear slippers a lot so I am happy to pay for the difference they make to my comfort. These are brilliant - thoroughly recommend (at the £30 odd quid mark).

ordered size 11 but they are tight
I am a size 45 (which is really a UK10.5) and I often order UK11 to be safe. but this pair is tight, more like a size 10.and these are my 4th pair of Sketchers. I am replacing the exact same pair (shop purchased). I am just never going to order footwear on AMAZON again unless they offer free returns. I am tired of paying for return shipping.

Shoe Heaven
I'd give these 10 stars if possible. They are like walking on freaking air!!!! I work on my feet all day and have severe Planis Fascitis I have always bought Clarks Shoes which I thought were well cushioned but these are epic and almost instantly reduce my symptoms. Only downside is they just aren't smart enough to wear with a suit. If Sketchers can make a smart, slightly more formal looking shoe that would be the icing on the cake. Would buy these for life
