Sketchers Shoes: A Review of Shoes by Sketchers
Sketchers shoes are popular with the kids - their light, bouncy and funky styles take sneakers from basic to hip. But, will they last through the school year? Will your kids like them? Are they worth the money? To learn more about Sketchers, along with a full review, keep reading.
Price of Sketchers
Sketchers shoes range in price from about $30 to $90, depending on the type of shoe and the style. However, their staple shoe - the sneaker - typically retails for anywhere from $40 to $60. Overall, the shoes are reasonably priced and in-line with most sneakers in that price and style range.
Comfort Level of Sketchers
The bulk of Sketchers shoes are made for young adults - meaning they're sporty, casual and fairly comfortable. Their sneakers fit well, do the job and offer enough support to be worth the cost. However, their casual shoes and dressier shoes tend to be narrow, partly because the shoes are targeted towards younger men and women.
So, if you're looking for a wider shoe, you may want to look at another brand with a broader range of fits and sizes.
Quality and Make
Sketchers are a youth shoe - meaning they're designed to be abused and worn into the ground. That said, don't expect them to last for years. Instead, these are shoes that may make it through the school year, if you're careful.
To keep them in tip-top shape, hand wash them gently every few weeks, replace the shoelaces regularly and if they're made of leather, treat them with some form of shoe protector. The company has a strong quality warranty policy, but consumers are recommended to buy their shoes from a trusted retailer with an equally strong return policy.
Style and Design of Sketchers
Sketchers are a young shoe. The company may make certain styles that are "grown up" or shoes that come in adult sizes, but they're not an adult shoe. While their funky and sweet styles may be perfect for junior high and high school, they're not appropriate for grown-ups.
The company has tried to put out a line of dressier shoes or shoes that are more appropriate for the work place, but they've still hung on to their sporty or younger style - whether it's too clunky heels, too many stripes or design touches, or just too much - they've failed.
Again, these are great shoes for young women and young adults, but they have no place in the professional work environment.
Conclusion
Sketchers shoes are reasonably priced shoes available in a wide range of younger styles. They're not appropriate for the working professional or older person, but they're a great back-to-school choice for the younger shoe-buyer.
