Men's Energy - Afterburn Lace-Up Sneaker

For many years I faithfully wore the Nike Air Walk and then, low and behold, they stopped making them! They were one of very few "wide" shoes that Nike made -- plus they were all leather, very light, provided great support and were super comfortable. So, once they were discontinued, I was on the search for a replacement.... I didn't think of Skechers much as a "serious" brand, mostly because I didn't know much about them, but it turns out they do sell some wide fitment shoes, and these, for me, are an absolute great fit! I tried a pair, a few years back, and have faithfully replaced them every time, having once again found a pair of shoes I really love. They are very similar to the Air Walks, in comfort and durability, although, sadly, they don't last as long as the Nike's did. Then again, they are about half the price! So, I don't feel too bad having to replace these more often. I'd say a pair lasts six to eight months, where the Nike's used to last more than a year, but, as I say, these are a lot more affordable to replace, so I guess it kind of works out, cost wise. For me, the most important thing is having a pair of shoes that are comfortable, versatile and look good enough to wear to work with good Levi's and a sport shirt, yet can also be used for walks or even light hikes. Since they are all white I have the same problem I had with the white Air Walks, which is that they tend to get dirty kind of quickly, but, like the Air Walks, they also clean up beautifully with some shoe cleaner and a bit of Sneaker whitener, so they tend to look great until they simply wear out -- in my case it is usually the side that eventually blows out -- which was the same on the Air Walks, but just didn't happen as quickly. Even so, six to eight months of life is pretty good to get out of them, considering I wear these pretty often throughout the average week. So, I'm a fan now, and in fact will be getting a second pair of these to have around, since they also come in blue and white, and that way I don't have to clean these up as often, and that's actually an improvement over the Air Walks, since they only came in the white or solid black. With these, I can now have an all white pair, and now can also have a more "casual" sneaker for other looks or outfits or uses, and, since two pairs is not much more than one pair of what the Air Walks use to cost, I'm actually a bit ahead of the game. I'm very happy with these, and I'd certainly recommend them highly!

I purchased this men's shoe after being unable to find a woman's shoe wide enough to accommodate my wide, athletic feet. I bought a 6.5 standard--not wide and it fir me nicely. My toes do not hurt and the balls of my feet do not push the shoe out, decreasing the probability of busting out of them. I am woman's 7.5 wide which is a men's 6 regular. But, they did not come in 6, so I got the 6.5 and although a bit long are great. So I kept them and just wear thick socks with them. I like that these shoes are 100% leather too. They Lace-up, have a Shock-absorbing supportive midsole, a Flexible rubber traction outsole Have a cushioned comfort insole and a 11/2 inch heel. The slight heel makes them better to stand in over long periods of time and for me, are more comfortable to walk and jog in. The shoes are comfortable, a good fit, a good quality (been running in them for 6 weeks). The build and shoe quality are good for todays shoes. Moreover, they look good and the weight is light, but not featherweight. One thing I would like to feel is a more cushioned insole. When running they are fine--not hard, but a thicker dense cushion insole wold be beneficial. The outer sole gives well and I can not feel the sharp rocks I run on. This shoe is a good value for your money and I will buy again. I hope I helped you in making a decision on your next pair of sneakers. Happy running.

I seldom find sneakers that fit well and are comfortable. I ran across Sketchers in Sam’s Club but they didn’t have my size. So I went online and found these Sketchers in my size and the color scheme I liked. When they arrived, they fit perfectly, were very comfortable and looked good. What more could you ask for in a pair of sneakers?

I bought these Skechers Energy Afterburn sneakers because I needed something comfortable for daily wear, and let me tell you — these things are like strapping two sensible mattresses to your feet. First off, comfort? Outstanding. I put them on and immediately felt like I could mow the lawn, run errands, and possibly outrun a mildly aggressive goose. The memory foam insole hugs your foot like it pays rent there. No break-in period either — just straight out of the box and into action. They’re also sturdy. These aren’t those flimsy “look good for two weeks then fall apart during a brisk walk to the mailbox” kind of shoes. These are “I will support your life choices” shoes. Now for the reason they get 4 stars instead of 5: they are not winning any fashion awards. These sneakers have strong “dad at a weekend barbecue” energy. If New Balance and a lawn tractor had a baby, this would be it. But honestly? That’s part of the charm. Bottom line: If you want comfort, durability, and a shoe that says “I value arch support over societal approval,” these are your sneakers. Would I buy them again? Absolutely. Would I wear them to a wedding? Only if I’m related to the bride.
