SkechersMen's Afterburn M. Fit Fashion Sneakers

I bought the shoes for everyday shoes and they are amazing!Pros- cool looking, lightweight, durable, cushion inside shoe, good traction, good price. Exact fit. Very comfyCons - cushion inside shoe cannot be removed.These shoes are good everyday shoes.

These sneakers are the MOST comfortable shoes I have ever worn! The size is spot on, the toe box is roomy, the arch support is mild but effective, and the heel is snug without pinching. I really didn't want the memory foam, because I was worried it wouldn't breathe, but somehow it does, and my feet don't get sweaty in these shoes. The grip is superb, and I would feel comfortable scrambling over rocks at the beach or walking on an icy sidewalk in these. I wore them all day long and I didn't feel the need to take them off when I got home. Usually, ripping my shoes off is the first thing I do when I get home but with these shoes, my feet are not sore or constricted. I normally wear a wide shoe, and ordered these in extra wide, but I was swimming in them. I was going to reorder in regular wide, but decided to just go with the standard width, and that was perfectly wide enough for my feet. I love these so much I might get a second pair, just in case they are ever discontinued. Did I mention they are GORGEOUS? Seriously, this is a good looking shoe. I ordered the charcoal/black and the design is beautiful.

I wanted to leave a review for these shoes specifically because Amazon has a habit of throwing old reviews at the buyer rather than more recent ones. There aren't many with a fair critique, or they resort to "omg it sucks/rocks". So, here we go.After years of using TredSafe shoes due to just not having the money to afford fancy-shmancy, I bit the bullet on these shoes figuring I could at least default to other shoes if they didn't work out. Also, a lot of reviews complained on durability and such, but they were recommended, so I went for it.Durability: Uhhhh, folks must have run over their pairs with a lawn mower to get them wrecked like they were, because wow have mine been accidentally kicked into and scraped by a LOT of old metal equipment and hardware with basically no damage. Really, the only damage was a screw I somehow stepped on, drilling a hole into the bottom. I mean, it didn't poke my foot, so no harm done.Comfort: Okay, so memory foam is a big "your mileage may vary" situation, but generally the foam is pretty okay in these shoes. Seeing as I run around a lot more at my new job than I did my old one, these do pretty good at cushioning my 13W feet. Then again, I am also a tall dude, so the memory foam cushioning may not be as effective for me. It hasn't been long enough to really wear it out either, but again, your mileage may vary. Also depends on whether you really understand memory foam, which I kind of don't. I might be totally off-base.But anyways. Even without that, the general feel and support of the shoe is good. The fact that my heels basically never hurt after eight-hour shifts when they would tend to hurt in the old, cheap TredSafe shoes is a pretty good testament to that fact.The fit: It fits...? I mean, 13W feet, I bought 13W. It fit pretty much as expected. The only minor complaint I can make is more a special case: there isn't a lot of room for inserts. See, I'm weird and have a tendency to put more pressure on the front of my feet than the heel, and not a shoe can be found at reasonable price for someone weird like me. I'd like to be able to fit some front support into the shoes to counter that, but there's just not enough room. Maybe once I wear out the memory foam, but otherwise... Well, that's a "me" thing. If you walk like a normal person rather than like I did as a kid to catch late-night TV without being caught, then you should be okay.Other stuff: One other minor complaint is just a typical sneaker issue but a bit worse. When the bottoms of the shoes get wet, walking on any kind of hard floor gives off an obnoxious squeaking sound. I don't mean like "basketball court" squeaking. I mean like "twisting leather" squeaking. To be fair... They're sneakers. They'll make noise like that, but it's usually not that annoying. They do dry out pretty quick so long as you don't keep getting them wet, so it doesn't last particularly long.So... Four stars? Yeah. They're pretty good overall, and they sure do take a beating. I keep expecting something I do to rip it open, but there isn't a single tear or crack anywhere (besides the hole from the screw). Main problem is just memory foam getting in the way of using inserts, lack of front foot support for those like yours truly, and the obnoxious wet squeak. Still a solid shoe, though. Worth the money.Update: 07/22/2023Just bought a second pair because the pair I use finally showed signs of serious wear, which is pretty impressive since I've used these shoes for almost everything from job work to yard work. They have had their soles handed to them regularly and only just now started actually falling apart in any measure. They aren't dead just yet, but the shoes were on a good sale so I bought pair two ahead of time.I did end up wearing out the memory foam rather quick (but I also walk weird, so once again your mileage may vary) but pulling them out to replace with new inserts was really easy, so it was a simple swap-out. I will say it's best to just swap for more memory foam since other "support" inserts didn't help just because of the shoe's own support.So yeah, running back in to say you REALLY have to try to destroy these shoes to make them fall apart: for having lasted 3 years of me, they've done a very good job staying together. They're still comfortable, pretty good support, and make the annoying leather-twisting noise when wet, but I definitely think they're worth the price, sale or not.

Great athletic shoes. This is my third pair, and they usually last between 18months and 2 years. I just wait for them to go on sale and buy another pair as needed. They provide long lasting comfort and support. Especially as I need the wide width. Also, I thought I would hate the slip-on shoes but has been a godsend. very easy to slip them on.

Awesome shoes. Great fit, very comfortable. Most of the shoes I buy are Skechers now.

I've been wearing these exact shoes for over a decade. They are always comfortable and fit my extra wide feet well. The memory foam insoles are kind of difficult to remove, but it's necessary to use the Sole brand insoles that I need for my high arches and plantar fasciitis. If you need to remove them as I do, reach inside and grab the toe end and gently peel them out backwards as they are only lightly glued from the heel up to the arch area. I'm 6'0" tall and 280 lbs with severe overpronated heels, and they usually last me up to a year or more before I break the soles down. Up until then, the large outside outer treads really help with my inward curved heels. I've had a few pairs that the soles came loose over the years, but I have just glued them back with some good contact cement and some patience.

Great support. Comfortable, attractive. Great shoes. Very happy.

Very nice shoe, looks really nice. Very comfortable too.
