Sketchers sizing?

28 replies

LuckyLuckyWoman · 02/06/2021 20:58

Anyone wear Sketchers? Just wondering on what the sizing is like.

I wear a size 5 shoe and a 6 in a trainer

So from experience, what size do you recommend I order

Six. I've had a few pairs. I'm the same. Six fit me perfect.

The memory foam ones are soooo comfy

OliveHenry · 02/06/2021 21:04

My size varies between 6, 6½ and 7, depending on the style of shoe.

But with Skechers, I'm always a 6. I guess you might need a bigger size if you intend running in them, but for walking probably not :-)

Not sure if that was helpful or not!

LuckyLuckyWoman · 02/06/2021 21:10

Great thank you both. Going with a 6.

What ones are you getting?

I have a really high instep. I've just got the high instep ones I love them

I'm 7..wear a 7..and live in Skechers Go Walk lite . They are THE comfiest shoes ever!

Fabuleuse · 02/06/2021 23:31

Weird, I find Skechers big and always size down. I'm a 9 everywhere else but wear an 8 in Skechers.

daisydalrymple · 02/06/2021 23:34

I also find sketchers generous.
I wear 6.5 (40) in most shoes now (tend to wear next) but always 6 in sketchers.

SaberToothKitten · 02/06/2021 23:46

Also find sketchers big. I'm a 39 in everything, bought sketchers online and there is a good 15 mm from my toe to the end of the shoe. They're massive and look it.

SpringLoadedJizz · 03/06/2021 00:51

I always have to go down a size in them too. I'm a 6.5 on one foot and 7 on the other DP usually wear 7 but I'm a 6 in Skechers and I've owned loads of pairs and styles over the years.

BlueButtercups · 03/06/2021 01:24

Im a 6 ... I wear a Skechers 6 🌸

MrsDoctorDear · 03/06/2021 05:07

I'm a 6 and mine are perfect, so comfortable.
Can they go in the washing machine? I've washed other trainers in a pillow case but these seem really light.

MinesAPintOfTea · 03/06/2021 05:22

I’m an 8/9. Live in size 8 go walk sketchers

And yes, I’ve put them through the washing machine. Like all trainers, or adds wear, but they come through ok.

itsme · 03/06/2021 05:25

I work at Skechers and the majority of our shoes come up big. Does depend on the style though. What are you planning on getting?

That's good to know, thanks.
SpeckledyHen · 03/06/2021 06:59

I’m 5.5 in all other shoes except for Skechers which are 4.5 wide . Go walk .And they do stretch a lot but shrink back after a twirl in the washing machine .

Karmatime · 03/06/2021 07:06

I need to go down a full size in Sketchers. Normal trainers I go up a size. Sketchers I take 4.5, ASICS trainers, 6.5 and normally a 5.5.

FedNlanders · 03/06/2021 07:07

I go down a whole size in sketchers

Arbadacarba · 03/06/2021 07:13

I am between a 5 and a 6 and find Skechers' 6 too big. I have wide feet if that helps.

tubbycustardtummyache · 03/06/2021 07:24

I wear a lot of Skechers boots and sandals. I’m a 4 in pretty much every other brand but need to size down to a 3 in Skechers
I’m not a 3 in any other shoe!

HalfShrunkMoreToGo · 03/06/2021 07:35

I'm a size 8 everywhere else but a size 7 in Skechers, they do come up big.

BlibBlabBlob · 03/06/2021 07:49

Skechers are originally sized with US sizing and for some inexplicable reason they convert them, in the UK, to the wrong size. Vanity sizing for feet, perhaps? But very annoying when you order online and they don't fit.

In US sizing I'm a women's 9, which normally translates to an EU 40 or a UK 6.5 or 7. But for some inexplicable reason, Skechers think a US 9 is a UK 6 (EU 39). So I have to buy a UK 6 in Skechers to fit my size 6.5/7 feet, because they can't convert shoe sizes like every other shoemaker in the world.

My friend is a UK size 5 in shoes. She has to buy size 4 Skechers because size 4 in Skechers are size 5 everywhere else. Madness.

RampantIvy · 03/06/2021 07:52

I know that many "stylish" posters think that Skechers are a crime against fashion, but once you have worn them it is so difficult to go back to other makes of footwear.

Like pp I find they come up large. I have the original GoWalks and find that they go through the washing machine fine. I have just ordered these sandals and can't wait until they get here.

Can I please petition you to get them to bring back these?

I've got 5 pairs of Skechers but these are by far the comfiest (even compared to the new memory foam insole ones) and I'd really love some more!

They don't have to be glittery (I suppose) but the sole is just so good, please put it on other styles Grin

@OliveHenry we have some super sparkly kids ones that are similar if you are below a size 5 or 6? I'll see if i can find them.

Popcornbetty · 05/06/2021 21:45

I size down a size as find they are wide fitting and generous fit.
