Customer Reviews SKECHERS Relaxed Fit - Career- 9 to 5

Just received these Skechers, the Relaxed Fit-Career 9 to 5 and am very pleased. I have trouble finding comfortable flats due to my bunions! Grr. The stretchy material across the front of this shoe feels great, and I don't think it makes the shoe seem too matronly. These Skechers have more arch support and a sturdier foot bed than most flats, too. I'm not sure I'm crazy about the memory foam insole. It feels good, but my feet could sweat in warm weather. The insole is tacked in, but it can be removed, so I may try to substitute a Superfeet or other insole. The shoes run large. I usually wear a 8 1/2 to 9 and the size 8 fits well. I often buy Keens to accommodate my wider (but not technically wide) feet, and the width here feel great. I think I may order another color!

Very cute shoe, good arch support. They are a little bigger than I'm used to in Sketchers. I could probably go down a size.

I liked these shoes! They weren't as classy as I hoped but they seem to go well with jeans and business casual outfits. I ordered a size 8 and it felt pretty good. I like the addition of the mini heel!

Super comfortable shoe! Looks good too! Gives my feet good support and stability.

I am so happy that I found these shoes. I've been paying twice the price for Orthaheel/Vionic shoes for a few years. While I love their flip-flops their shoes still hurt my feet at the end of the day. For half the price, these shoes are cushy and comfy and I can walk on them all day long...plus they're cute. I usually wear a size 9, but I ordered 1/2 size larger and they fit perfectly.

Shoe fits as described. It is comfortable to wear and walk in. Tried them out for the first time traveling and walking through the Atlanta airport. They are very, very comfortable!

After reading several reviews that these shoes ran large, I ordered a 7.5 instead of my usual 8.5. Well, I can barely squeeze my foot into them! These are going back for my usual size. BTW, they are really cute shoes and have good arch support.

I love these! I usually wear 6½ or 7, I got a 6 and they fit perfectly. I have wide feet and usually have a really hard time finding shoes that are comfortable. Even wide widths usually hurt my feet. I am a teacher and, contrary to popular belief, I am on my feet constantly from 7:30 until 3:10 every day. These are the most comfortable shoes for work that I have every owned!

I ordered these shoes in size 8 because I have wide feet. I ended up exchanging them for 7½, width which is good. I have bad feet and Skechers are the most comfortable shoes that I have found. I wish that I could wear heels but I cannot, I need to go for comfort these days.

I am a teacher in my 30's. I have bunions and I need shoes I can work all day in. These are VERY comfortable. However, they look a little bit like an older lady shoe.

These are smart looking shoes that are generally comfortable. However, I have narrow heels, so they slip on and off my heels when walking. That part is not comfortable!

Buy smaller sizing to be comfortable in these. I normally wear an 8 with orthotics and bought a 7-1/2. They are slightly tight, but the 8 would have been too big. I wanted a slip-on that would be easy on/easy off and comfortable to wear. This fits the bill.

I have to echo everyone else and wonder why Skechers are sized almost a full size larger than almost all other women's shoes. I have been wearing Skechers for years and only recently have they introduced this 'relaxed fit' sizing that makes it nearly impossible to determine the proper size. Normally I wear a 6.5 or a 7, but in Skechers, I can wear a 5.5 or a 6 - although the 5.5 would be a bit snug and the 6 is still a bit loose at the heel. However, I love these shoes enough to endure all this -- they are so comfortable and stylish enough to wear in a business casual environment. But please Skechers, please we're begging you -- go back to your original sizing.

I wear WW width shoes so my choices are limited. I ordered these shoes to wear on an extended trip to Europe, to avoid wearing running shoes/sneakers while touring in cities. While they initially felt comfortable each day, after several miles of walking the balls of my feet became very painful, in a "bruised" way. The shoes don't have enough cushioning for extended walking on pavement.

I have a pair of Skechers with memory foam already but this pair feels different. Looked very cute but the footbed did not feel great.

These run a full size large. I normally wear an 8.5 in Skechers and had to get 7.5 in these. They also run wide. Skechers is not kidding in terms of them being called relaxed fit. Be forewarned they stretch out immensely after being worn. There is no arch support but the memory foam lining does help to make them more comfortable. I wear them for work because I need a business casual shoe. These do fit the bill as far as maintaing a sleek appearance with some comfort. I recommend buying a full size smaller than your normal shoe size.

I wear a 9 1/2 shoe medium width. I bought a size 11 skechers and they still don't fit. Made in China, must be made for tiny feet. Either way, that was my LAST OAIR of Skechers.

Skechers, the relaxed fit that you're now applying to your shoes isn't a welcome change. The snug fit of the past gave much better support and the shoes looked cute and sexy vs. clunkly like a pair of hiking shoes. Please, I beg you, bring back the Sassies High Step in tan w/ the turquoise detail and the solid black. Had worn them for a long time, bought multiple pairs and need them back. Mine are so worn out, but I still wear them and I STILL get asked where to get them. They were super cute and comfortable w/ great support. Please resurrect the style and keep the fit normal. I wear a size 5 and that is your smallest. Now that the fit is relaxed they are too big.

I like these but am returning them because they are too large I wear a 9-91/2 , I ordered a 9 thinking I should order 1/2 a size down . I already have the Go walker 2 in black in a 9 1/2 and they fit great so go figure?
