SkechersMen's Relaxed Fit Segment - Dorton Boot

I really like these boots. I can wear them with jeans or chinos and they look great, even with a belt and button down shirt. They are light enough for spring and fall, and durable and warm enough for winter. I wear a size 9 mens sneaker (Vans and Adidas), and a size 8 fit me perfectly in these boots. I have a slightly wide toe box and I don't like it when my big toe bumps against the inside of the shoe. These boots give me enough room without feeling loose when I walk. They are quite soft and comfortable and I could walk as long as I wanted. I can put the boots on without sitting down, I just reach back with one hand and grab the strap and they slide right on, yet they are not too roomy when walking for miles. I can wear thick socks and they are not too tight. There is definitely a break-in period. I noticed a little bit of a rub against my right shin the first time I wore them. The black boots are a rigid faux-leather material, and I also bought the brown color and I noticed that they are a little softer, and broke in faster. I live in Portland, OR and we recently got a variety of weather conditions and I put these boots to the test and I was happy with the results. It rained a lot and then we got 2-3 inches of snow with very cold temperatures. THESE ARE NOT INSULATED BOOTS AND YOUR TOES MIGHT GET COLD. However, I did not feel any pain or discomfort. I walked for 30-60 minutes (2-3 miles) on hard packed snow and slush in the city, in 20-25 F temperatures on two separate occasions, and the boots held up to the salt, snow, and cold in the city. I wore two pairs of socks, one thin poly and one thick wool, and my feet stayed warm and dry. I didn't have to step in deep snow, my jean cuffs never got wet. I felt my big toes start to get a little numb after walking on snow for 15 minutes straight, but it went away after I got back on the sidewalk. I also noticed that the boots have good traction in icy slush and frozen hard pack, and although I slipped slightly a couple of times, I felt stable and I confidently walked through all of the conditions without falling down. I also wore these boots in steady rain while walking for 20-30 minutes, and my feet and ankles stayed completely dry. Overall this is a great, comfortable, everyday boot that you can wear to the office, or on the weekends for city hikes in all conditions.UPDATE: these boots are pretty useless on ice. Then again, most footwear is useless on ice. These boots will cause you to slip right away, but I’ve actually had worse. If the ground isn’t crunchy, don’t step on it.

Really comfortable

Good boot needs a little more support, the opening is a little bit too tight when trying to get on.

Love these boots

Muy buenas botas muy confortables y se ven muy bien 100% recomendadas.

First pair I had were gray and lasted 3 years. Only replaced because soles wore down. This pair did not hold up. Purchased these Oct. 2024 and wear photo attached is April 2025.The front of the boots are so weak, the tops bent and can be felt inside the shoe. You have to crease it back so the material doesn’t press against toes. The bootstrap ripped may 2025 and I had to sew it back on. They are comfortable but poor quality.

I got a pair of these in 2017 and it’s time for a new pair. Getting a new pair because I have liked wearing them for doing stuff around the house. They have held up well and are really comfortable. I am happy to see Sketchers still makes these. Just a good pair of durable work shoes.

Ordered the same size as two pair of Sketcher shoes I have. Had a terrible time getting them on the first time. Almost gave up to send back. I finally got them on and they were fairly comfortable. Wore them the rest of the day. Next time I put them on they were still hard to pull on but not as bad. Third time this morning and it's getting easier. The insoles aren't as comfortable as the Sketcher shoes I have. Not bad but I was expecting the same level of comfort. I have neuropathy in my feet and I really need good quality insole support, which the shoes have. Not sure why that didn't carry over to the boots. We'll see as time goes on but I'm hoping they'll break in more and get easier to put on. Might try a pair of insoles when that happens.Just realized, there is no arch support in these boots. Going to have to try a slip in insert I guess. If you need firm arch support I'd give these boots a pass.The boots got increasingly easier to pull on as time went by but it was still a struggle. This morning the loop you use to pull them on broke on one boot so that's going to make it even more difficult. Given how much I like the two pair of Sketcher shoes I have I'm very disappointed in these boots. Won't buy again.
