SkechersMen's Vigor 2.0 Serpentine Sneaker

Typical well fitting Skecher, that DOES have some quality control issue
April 14 2022 - Just put SoftCOmfort (cheap Walmart double thick insoles) in after the area near ball of my left foot (big toe where it connects to my foot) started feeling like it could be supported better ... and the heel of both sneakers at the bottom started ripping ... I have seen some folks throw sneakers in the trash when this started happening and .... I CANT do that ... it's not that big of a deal ... I could have even skipped adding these insoles I had laying around anyway ... but "eh why not" was my thought ... before the insoles the memory foam in those two (well three ... heel of both sneakers) areas started to not feel as supported vs when they were brand new... but they weren't bad feeling ... they DIDN'T hurt or anything.... If they did I'd just say it.... these insoles I have added I have used (this brand) for years and make my sneakers feel like slippers comfort wise.April 1, 2022 Update: (wearing regularly for a few mile walks in Florida, since I got these in September 2021)I removed some rambly prior updates in the review … basically I just have to remember to bring up that the bottom blue surface and the white part it’s suppose to be adheared to did not seem to have ANY adhesive on it at all when I did my first repair … not like “not enough” but none at all from the look of BOTH surfaces.Not counting a single time I had to re-repair one of the pieces that started (not as bad as it was in the first place, and didn’t effect my few mile walk that day … I just had most of a small bottle of contact cement left … so “why not repair it?” … that maybe was at the end of Feburary and it’s been fine since.They are starting to look REALLY worn as … I wear them a lot (so that is too be expected) … but nothing else is coming apart or falling off or whatever. I am not a huge fan of the design by the midde of the foot (TOTALLY cosmetic here … JUST the way they look) versus other Skechers I have but considering I bought these for $18 or so from what I remember … that is a steal of a price … and yeah if you like the look, I’d say these are worth a bit more than that but also I always get my Skechers on sales, so I never pay more than $45 or so for them.These surprised me … for that price and even though I love Skechers as they are my go-to brand … these were a “eh … great price for these … they will be a knock-around backup pair” sort of thing ….. I have put a lot of wear on these and unlike my Filas that are still “ok” but with a lot less time and about the same wear (say in 3 to 4 months for those) the entire front was splitting apart for no reason … and many others had the same exact issue for those. These don’t look great now but … it’s normal wear and tear … like how “an old pickup truck” may be used a lot and it may have faded paint, and some rough spots, but it is totally dependable and “gets the job done”I do love Skechers and even have a family memober who is a former "New Balance only" guy who after trying Skechers, is a Skechers fan now.I admit the peeling problem should NOT have to be repaired but it’s a simple fix, and if you don’t have contact cement … 100% shop around and you can find a small bottle with a brush for like $5. I have seen many people throw these sneakers out and really a $5 bottle of contact cement (some planning ahead on using it) and say 2-3 minutes, will make these sneakers a-ok IF they have that issue----------------------------Original ReviewFirst I want to preference this by saying that I have only worn these out once and typically have great luck with Skechers as the are (even after what I say here) are my "go to" brand but I'd at no point would claim they are perfect. I just have the best luck with Styles I like. prices (on sales), and durability with Skechers.These sneakers, I almost didn't get but after my old (first model Skechers I ever bought) White/Navy Afterburn haven't been on a good sale for years, and I saw a "used-Very Good" pair of these pop up at what was a TOTAL of $18.50 or so ... I took a chance and at first when I gave them a look-over it seemed a-ok ... though there was an odd smell I never smelled before (again these are used, I know i know.... but other than the smell, these SEEMED new condition)The problem was before the first time I WAS going to wear the pair I got out ... just like some of the negative (say some with pictures of the problem) reviews say .. the very bottoms seem to come unglued ... now I admit it was only a small part but .. I decided that while I would have returned these if i paid full price ... I would just fix these for the price i paid... I just used a little $5 container of contact cement I have and on the small area that was already coming apart, i patched that up ... and the next day (the fix holding a-ok even after the first walk) when I wore these out, they seemed like a typical pair of Sketchers with memory foam... and I love that.Style wise, I do like the Afterburn model more .. really it's the two black-ish stripes that I wish were more of a solid black color, but I still like these. Another thing style wise I missed looking at the first official Amazon picture was the lettering behind the "S" and right below the back-most "stripe" that I just mentioned on the outer part of each sneaker... not sure why that was put there ... it seems off .. like they just (Skechers that is) stamped the model number there for no reason. I don't hate it, and I am not trying to sound like I am over-reacting to that, but it'd just look better without that there.Comfort wise ... well there is a reason other than the price, I go with Skechers ... I am not 100% sure (that pair of black non-memory foam Skechers HAS Issues ... and they are from 2017 with off and on wear) but comparing a non-memory foam Skechers which I loved years ago to a few different models now that have the Memory Foam... yeah ... I notice the difference and LOVE the memory foam. I do have sneaker insoles to use if/when the memory foam goes bad but ... unlike some reviews I have seen ... I'd NOT consider the cloth right above the foam ripping a tad, to mean "the sneakers are ruined" ... especially if it happens after a few months of daily use.I think Skechers has better styles out there, but that is not only subjective but I have to say I have seen some odder styles then this pair from even Skechers (again my go-to brand).I dont mind fixing the bottoms, but I shouldn't have had to already (** i know i got a used pair) ... but if that sort of SIMPLE fix is all that is needed, I am not upset ... I (and a family member who used to be a New Balance only guy, who is now buying SKechers too) have had the same problem happen worse with other brands.So far, (noting I am not sure how much I will wear these right away.... I want to have a good pair of White Skechers for down the road and that price ... I couldn't pass up) I'd recommend them... but of course I cant speak for THESE exact ones long term just yet.

Perfect! (I've been getting these for over 3 years)
I couldn't find these at the stores anymore (not a fan of black shoes) I was hoping these were the 'replacement' for what I've been buying for over 3+ years (they are !!). Perfect fit, they last and are VERY comfortable!I went to the ends of the earth to find my first pair that the post office insisted was delivered "in" my mailbox (not even ONE of the 12W shoes would've fit - and they were no where to be found). Amazon promptly re-sent these and they are as amazing as all the other pairs bought previously (better actually). TRUE to SIZE :)

I just love sketcher shoes
I just love sketcher shoes. I recently had surgery on my ankle and foot. These are the only comfortable, supportive shoes I can wear so I have about 9 different colours in slightly different styles. I feel that I will not wear any other type shoe/trainer no matter what I'm wearing.

Fit perfectly and very comfortable. The laces aren't too long either
Fit perfectly and very comfortable. The laces aren't too long either, so I'm not having to keep on stopping to do them up again.

Would recommend them.
My husband loves these trainers. He had blisters on his feet with some other makes but since wearing Skechers he has no problems. He walks a lot. Would recommend them.
