'Cheap' Skechers-any use?

[buckeejit]

Just that really. I don't really want to pay that much for ugly shoes but am willing to gamble on going away for a couple of days with just fitflops & then buying some of these if it rains. Are there any cheaper copy versions as good or should I just get the go walks if need be?

Why not buy shoes you like rather than ones you find ugly?

I know these are v comfy for walking-I have bought comfy walking shoes that I like recently but they're not comfy for loads of walking & are scuffed so I know these can take a bit of a beating!

I'm not sure that this is answering your question, but I just wanted to say that the go walks are soooo comfortable! Definitely worth the money and worth the trade off of not being particularly stylish looking.

Thanks Lizzie, I'll probably just get the 'real deal' then-no breaking them in is another draw. It's almost a bit of a guilty pleasure to look forward to. Off to look at the least offensive ones now in preparation!

I have about ten pairs of Skechers. I think they're nice and very comfortable.

I managed to get a pair of go walks that are grey and just look like trainers so not that ugly and they are so comfy. Wore them constantly in New York for 5 days!

I just got a pair of sketchers from cloggs online and they only lasted 6 weeks before the heel area wore away and have caused terrible blistering. Up until then they were amazing. A week on and the back of my heel is still killing me. I contacted cloggs and was told tough basically so I'm not happy. I was only using for walking an hour 3 times a week.

Sports Direct often have previous year's styles of scetchers cheaper than current styles. I bought some from Primark which looked a bit like Go Walks but they feel nowhere near as comfortable.

Ooo I bought a pair from an outlet shop on Cheshire Oaks ( probably not helpful ) but I've worn them for anything outdoorsy or walking I can't believe I didn't get them before. I got mine for about £25. They look like trainers but are slip ons so they look alright with shorts too.

Deichmann do some good Skecher type shoes - if anything, they look nicer, though I can't vouch for comfort, as DS1 had a pair.

And for loads of walking, just get a decent pair of running trainers. I have loads of Nike Darts of various types.

I bought a grey pair of pretend Go Walks from Primark for £8. I have real Skechers too and tbh they're almost as good. If you only want them for a few days or so then have a look.

Costco have some in at the mo, 23 pound, utterly love them.

"Definitely worth the money and worth the trade off of not being particularly stylish looking."

I agree. I am looking for some black slip on summer shoes and tried some Go Walks on in a Pavers concession this lunchtime, and am now regretting that I didn't buy them. I already have a blue pair of Go Walks and a blue pair of ballet style Bobs from last year.

I had an amazing pair of the go walks a few years ago and wish I could afford another pair now they are worn out. They probably lasted me 18 months and I did hours and hours of walking a week. Worth mentioning that I've also had bunion surgery and they were the comfiest thing I've found. Agree that they aren't the prettiest. Have a pair of knock off primark ones now that have gone baggy and not as comfy but only £6. Apparently Costco have the real deal in stock this week if you're a member.

As a poster said deichman have some similar, mine cost £30 from there so not that much cheaper, they are very comfy though, I brought some go walks from sketchers last month which are defiantly worth the extra, not too ugly either, all black slip on's.

I started off thinking I looked frumpy, now I don't care as I can walk for miles I love them.
