Customer Reviews SKECHERS Max Cushioning Elite Trail

I love Skechers GoRun shoes so when I saw these with bigger lugs for hiking I snatched them up! Wish there had been other colors.

Lightweight and yet supportive - took no time at all to break them in. I needed to add additional arch support for my high arch ~ but, that's just my feet, not the shoes.

For a sporty shoe, these are very good. They're super comfortable right out of the box, nice apple green/ black color combo that I love. Doesn't have an arched--arch support, but your feet sink into the insole enough to feel like some support is there. I think it uses a yoga mat material. GREAT for the gym--light weight and sure-footed. I only wish they were more of a high-top, 'cause that would be cute.

They are comfortable, at least for me compared to my normal nike(s). A lot more cushion than Nike and Avia. Although, these skechers have a wider toe box than nike/avia. The heel area is too large for medium width. I can stick my finger down in the heel a bit and fairly easily. The heel for medium width should fit perfect, which on these shoes slip forward somewhat, but not too bad based on the design of the shoe. Anyway, if your an 8.5 in nike with 3/8" minus toe gap and put on skechers 8.5 you will feel a bigger void from large toe to tip of shoe, which will be 1/2" gap to 1/16" more void. In all my 45+ years of buying running shoes and walking shoes I never had this large of a toe gap. It's been 3/8 give or take a tad. It is recommended 3/8 to 1/2 inch, but these skechers go a tad more than 1/2" and nike goes a tad less than 3/8" If you keep your toenails a bit longer than skechers will work for you. If you keep your toenails clipped back than it's a hit-and- miss whether you can live with the extra space. Again, the comfort is there, but one thing I don't understand about Skechers is why they didn't add a second hole at lace-up/tie-up to hold the heel back? This keeps the foot from sliding forward too much. The extra lace hole reduces slippage. It goes to reason ~ to add the darn hole for people with medium/narrow heels. All other brands for running and walking have them, but not Skechers. Overall it's a good shoe, but SKECHERS at the very least should ADD THAT SECOND HOLE TO HOLD THE HEEL BACK. If they want to lean to women's feet then the heel needs to fit or ADD THE SECOND HOLE! lol (smiling) but true.

I'm sad to be returning these, way too narrow. I don't always have to buy wide, but these are super tight. I'd go W if they had them, but they don't, so I'm debating going up a half size to see if it helps

Very comfortable. I’m a size 6 and decided to order the 6.5M It’s perfect for traveling.

My first Skechers. So far, very comfortable. I am normally a size 6, but opted for 6.5 because of wanting enough space for my feet to swell up when traveling. I find going 1/2 size bigger is much more comfortable especially with orthotic inserts.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Great cushioning, fits around the heel, and even have terrific lateral support! I had to order two more pairs!

Where's the sixth rating star? These shoes are AWESOME. I had to order two more pairs. From the first try-on they fit perfectly and every step was sooooo cushioned. LOVE! Wish they came in more colors.

These are perfect,

Very happy with purchase. These shoes feel wonderful!

I needed to add arch support but that's because of my foot, not the shoe per se - has been extremely comfortable walking shoe - will be buying another pay as I've almost worn them out!

By far the most comfortable walking shoe I have ever worn. Starting to have problems with my knees and wanted a more cushioned step. These are exactly what I wanted. First pair I paid $104, second pair I paid $79.99 and my last pair were on sale for $69.53. WINNER!!! I don't care so much about color or if I am purchasing the end of the year model, so I jumped on the great price for a really great shoe!

My first pair of Sketchers walking/running shoe. Been having trouble with pain in my knee so was looking for something with more cushioning. These shoes absolutely fit the bill. They were comfortable right out of the box. Fit perfectly. Lots of cushioning.
