Skechers Altus Aphtur in Aqua

Well it is late at night and wide awake…so why not post my thoughts on this shoe…I am not a professional product reviewer and all products I review have been purchased by me…and no I am not injured…the crutch in the picture was needed 4 years ago due to an injury to my knee . I am fully recovered…but it comes in handy when I need to reach something up high…like to open and close curtains that are behind the couch .

Well a few years ago I purchased a different Skecher shoe and it was horrible . I swore i would never buy another pair of Skechers . I guess I lied .

Bought these directly from the Skechers sight . They listed at 110.00 dollars US….but with all the discounts I was able to get…plus free shipping …I paid 76 dollars .

Firstly I love the aqua color. But what attracted me to this shoe is the slip in technology . And it really works well . I find that these fit me true to size . They are not as flexible as I like but hopefully that improves over time . Some reviewers say they do not absorb shock very well . That was not my experience . I find the ride very comfortable and my hips and back appreciate that greatly .But I am a heel striker .i tried walking in these by various methods . I also walked by landing on the ball of my foot first…and i tried a more flat footed walking style….in both these methods the cushioning didnt feel as soft as striking the heel first

Some folks reported these as being narrow . I have a D width foot and my feet and toes were very much at home . The arch support hit perfectly in the right spot . I sometimes add an over the counter orthotic but did not need to do so with this shoe .

So…easy on…easy off…good cushioning at least for a heel striker like me and good support . For me this is a winner
