Skechers Work Arch Fit Max Cushioning Elite, Women's, Soft Toe, Slip Resistant Athletic

Sketchers headed out of the ballpark with these shoes. I am a 65 year-old woman who has to have comfortable shoes now. I have a warehouse job where I do forklift work, but I also used to do a lot of walking in a different position in this warehouse that was very hard on my feet and I broke my foot within two months on the job five years ago. I also about 18 years ago developed serious problems with plantar fasciitis in my feet to the point that it felt like my heels were so bruised by the time I got home working at Wal-Mart at the time that I couldn’t even put any weight on my heels. I was basically walking around almost on the balls on my feet because of my feet issues now at my older age due to too many years walking in high heels when I was young and fancy jobs, it took a toll on my feet. I also have added weight due to my age and also quitting a Chainsmoking habit which cost me to gain weight. I’m trying to lose weight, but in the meantime, I have to have comfortable shoes. Was wearing steel toed boots for a long time at my job and that added to more issues even though I spent a fortune on Red Wings to have good quality steel toed boots. The issue got so bad I had to switch to paying for HOKA shoes that gave my feet enough comfort and cushion to work on very hard concrete floors in the warehouse. I work for a logistics company that does the supply moving around parts for the GM plant. It’s very hard work and it’s a lot of wear and tear on your feet especially in a warehouse that’s actually over a mile in length literally. I’ve gone through in 2 1/2 years two pairs of HOKA’s and was not looking forward to having to spend $165 for another pair of shoes to be comfortable in. I had gotten into Skechers to handle my plantar fasciitis on my other job when I worked as an independent contractor driving around in my car, but doing a lot of walking back-and-forth to homes picking up equipment for Spectrum for 5 1/2 years, but the type of shoes that were available were not still as comfortable in Skechers, as what the HOKA gave me. When I saw these Skechers shoes for work advertised and that they gave comparable cushion to what the HOKA provided, I decided to take a chance and see how they fit and whether or not they gave the the support I needed it, especially with my foot that was not properly treated when it was broken and was never put in a boot cast. I walked around for two months with a broken foot in steel toed boots. So needless to say my foot healed, but it didn’t heal real great. I really feel it now in the weather change when it rains when it’s cold when I do a lot of heavy walking, I’ve got to have something that protects that, but it also throws off my gate and causes issues more with my plantar fasciitis to get aggravated easily. Very pleasantly surprised that these shoes that cost a lot less than what I was paying for HOKA did they give me the support and comfort and cushion that I need with my really crappy feet. Originally I saw them for 105 which is still saving me $60 from what I was paying before for the other brand but I actually hit them on a sale at the time which brought them down to $86 and then they happen in a couple of days to show up in my cart on a lightning deal so I saved another $10. I was so pleased when I got these so fast I put them on and wore them all day inside the house for several hours that I immediately went back to my Amazon orders picked out a second color on the same deal that was still running. After having worn them around work for several weeks now, I can honestly say that I actually will continue buying the sketchers for work over my original pair of HOKA. The price difference alone is very helpful when I am my only income, but also the fact that these actually are giving my feet more support, arch wise and all of the cushion. I need on those hard concrete floors at the warehouse..

I got these for work and they are just what I need. I got the wide and only wish they offered extra wide as that is what I wear. I buy up half a size in a wide and break them in slowly before wearing to work because they are sturdy and the fit isn't quite right for me. The great thing is they LAST in a job that is very physically demanding on my feet for up to 11 hours. This is the 3rd pair I've purchased, the first 2 lasted about a year each in a high demand environment so definitely great work shoes!

I bought these shoes for work and they exceeded my expectations. They are very comfortable, even after standing for many hours. They offer good support, the material feels durable, and the design is simple yet stylish. So far, I’ve had no issues with them. Highly recommended!

Perfect fit very comfortable for the first day of wear going to buy another pair while they are on sail your saving $20.00 on a pair the only problem was they were not wide

The fit of the shoe is amazing! The shoe definitely provides impeccable support. I do sense that they are not completely slip resistant shoes because I have slid a few times at work. It's almost as if the grip on the shoe isn't strong enough. The comfort on these shoes is amazing, my foot no longer burns on the sides or the bottom no longer aches. I've been a sketchers girly for a long time, and I am considering these a step up! I also read the reviews on sizing up, and while its not mandatory it does leave a lot of space in the shoe. I purchased a 9 1/2 wide, so there is a lot of space!

Thank you very much, I am delighted with my shoes, comfortable excellent for walking and non-slip ☺️

I have pretty terrible plantar fasciitis, these are pretty good when I add insoles from fleet feet. The bottoms are excellent to keep you from sliding in a greasy wet restaurant environment. Also I’ve gotten the tops pretty wet and my socks and feet stayed dry.

These shoes are very stylish and I like the slip resistance but they are not as comfortable as the white pair of Sketchers Max Cushioning Elite that I previously purchased. I'm on my feet for 10 hour shifts in restaurant and need shoes that don't make my feet hurt. I'm hoping once I break this pair in they'll meet my needs.
