Side by Side Comparison of: Skechers

These are great boots! I had a similar pair that finally wore out, and I liked them enough to get them again. This version seems to have softer rubber on the bottom, which feels much more comfortable, as well as the gel memory-foam insole. I think the softer sole may wear out a little faster, but the added comfort makes it worth it.The upper part of the boot did require some minor breaking in. They were stiff on my ankles at first. I rolled the upper part 360 degrees in and out and that took care of it.My old pair did fit a little tight in the toes, so I went up a 1/2 size this time and they feel great.

I've had them 4 months and have nothing negative to report. A few times I applied mink oil. I do irrigation work and have been for 12 years, so the shoes are getting wet and worked often. I do not see any wear or seams coming apart yet. I also forsee these shoes to last for many many more months. I would buy them again

Still breaking them in but they are already very comfortable. I normally wear a 91/2 D but ordered these in 10 D because I didn't want them tight and while they were a little larger not as large as I expected of a 10.

We'll see if the five stars stand. Writing this after a day having them. I LOVE that I could order extra wide. FINALLY, shoes that fit!!! I usually have to go a size larger to accommodate my wide little feet. 8 extra wide fit perfectly! That is standard for me. I'm an 8, but have to typically go to nine to accommodate wider feet, so I think the sizes are standard.Actually, very comfortable, but I added Dr Scholls inserts, which I often do. Very heavy as many complain about, but I expected that. I don't know who buys work boots like this and expects them to be light. Heavy duty means heavy. I'll report back if they start to wear out and how, and if I thought I got my money's worth.

These are my favorite everyday boots, working out doors delivering beer as well as in a warehouse these boots have lasted me 7 years. Through Pennsylvania winters and Georgia summers.I have put countless miles on these bad boys and was disappointed when I could only find them in the dark brown color in stores, the wheat color is sharp, I am very pleased to have found the wheat on amazon, like I said these are my favorite boots I've owned, the soles wear overtime not fast, just had to put Dr Scholls in but I do that with all of my shoes anyway. I'm a size 9.5 for sneakers and theses boots I'm a 9.5, spot on with the sizing. All in all I am very very pleased with these.

My favorite work boots for summer! Steel toe, waterproof, non-skid on slick concrete floors (I can literally turn on a dime when others fall on their rears), extremely comfortable right out of the box. Can wear these for 15 hours and my feet feel great! I work at a park, outside in all weather, in buildings with many stairs/concrete floors/cleaning chemicals, operate heavy maintenance equipment. I need something that stands up to constant use. Purchased these at a Skechers store, then saw them on Amazon for a great low price. I'm still wearing my six year old pair; the new ones are in reserve. My old pair may just see me through to retirement in a few years. I'm a 60 year old female, wear size 8 regular to wide in ladies' boots. The men's size 7 fit me perfectly. I can wear heavy or light work socks. I'll be wearing these Skechers boots as long as I can hop on my tractor and dig in my gardens. The only thing I would change is to make them about 4 inches higher on the calf as I'm often doing field work in Massasauga Rattlesnake areas. It would be a nice option to have more leg protection. Regardless, I love my Skechers boots!

I've read some other reviews giving this shoe one star because they run small. It's true, they do run small. I normally wear a 10 1/2; had to return for an 11. But once the fit was right I found that this was a warm, comfy shoe, easily broken in by the 3rd or 4th wearing. Any work boot requires breaking in. As for waterproof, I wore these for a walk through dewy grass the first morning I had them. Not sure if it was my imagination or not but I sensed some dampness around my right big toe. So I used some mink oil around the threaded area, let it sit overnight, and now they're fine. So I recommend this shoe for comfort and durability; just be aware to order a half size larger than your normal shoe size, and have some mink oil or other waterproofing material on hand.

I've worked in these for a little over a week now and, I've found them to be nearly perfit. Very comfortable but, after 10 hours they start to feel heavy. My work can last 10 to 12 hours some days during the summer but in a normal 8 or 9 hour day they are, to me, great!

This is a excellent quality boot, well made, sturdy, but the sizing is off as to USA size standards I ordered a 1/2 size larger than I normally wear fit just right w/ thick socks.This not new problem couple years ago bought this boot in brown at JCP too small

I've had these boots for about 6 months now. They are warm and waterproof (though I did apply some mink oil when I first got them) and relatively comfortable. I would suggest adding a quality insole from dr scholl or whatever because I wore these on a recent trip to Chicago for a few days, and they absolutely killed my feet from walking about 7 miles a day.

I have an older pair which are probably 3 years old and black. I really liked them. I drive a semi and walk in 2-4" of water pretty regularly. My feet never get wet and are comfortable after many hours on my feet. Although, I bought a brown pair that have memory foam in them. Although, I haven't had any issues with water getting in them. My feet are not near as comfortable in the memory foam, newer pair, after several hours on my feet as the original pair. I don't think the memory foam supports your feet as well.

I thought these boots were a great value as opposed to other brands that can costs $100 or more dollars. I just wanted some boots to beat up around the house or wear around throughout the day. For me they are comfortable for a couple hours and then I start getting a blister on the back of my leg. Full disclosure though, I typically wear sneakers and dress shoes so I am not used to wearing boots all of the time. I still wear these often as they look great and they are a nice tough boot. I would buy these again but it doesn't look like these are going to fall apart any time soon.

These shoes fit well and are indeed water proof. It seems these days makers of work boots like to make the tongue come up to the level of the lacing area. Personally I like the tongue to come up a little higher, but that isn't the case with this pair of shoes. They feel a little heavy after about 4 or 5 hours, so I only wear them if absolutely necessary. Fair arch support although the balls of my feet feel a little tender after a few hours as well.

These boots are just okay. They are rather stiff, big and clunky.

These boots are not like the 2000-2004 line up. They need a little working in and wide is not the wide of passed days. The size ok but if I had to order all over from start. I would skip the .5 in the size table. It will take some to work them in so they don't hurt a little. I hope! Time will tell.

It does the job, but really heavy. Don't get it if you walk long distances

I bought these to replace the "Bully 2" from Sketchers that I had purchased for some years. These looked like the closest replacement. They're ok, but definitely larger overall and a bit clunkier. Will probably look for a different boot once these need to be replaced.

The person I bought these for loves them but they need inserts (Timberland are good and worth the price) to fight fatigue and provide extra cushioning. The reason these only get 3 stars is, Sketcher's manufactures their shoes and boots to fall apart after about a year of wear. Boo.

to stiff on a comfortable shoe

Have been wearing two pairs of 9 1/2 D number 4243 Sergeants Sketchers which are the same as the number 4442 but a darker color for about 5 years. I ordered the dark brown Verdict Sketchers in a 9 1/2 wide for the extra room, but they are a 9 1/2 D or smaller with a wide label. I still have a five year old new pair of the 9 1/2 D number 4243, and they have more room than these 9 1/2 wide Verdicts number 4442. Buyer beware! I bought a pair of 9 wide Brahma boots at Walmart today, and they fit ok. They measure 4" across top of foot, and the Sketchers 9 1/2 wide measures 3 1/2".

My husband has worn these a little over a month at work, and the soles are already wearing off. As long as you are gentile on shoes, they are fantastic...but the tread isn't exactly for work.

I'd so hoped these would be extremely comfortable for my husband to wear when working. However, by midday his feet hurt badly. Not as comfortable as the sketchers shoes I've had or my son has worn.

sole is very very heavy

Disappointed. Boots only lasted for 5 months working 40 hours/week outside. My last pair of boots (Wolverine Brand) lasted over 2 years. You get what you pay for.

Not as advertise. Came with that awful memory foam stuff that sketchers insist on using in their newer stuff. I ordered from these guys out in the U.S as they had advertised the older more comfortable boots. Utter waste of money!! Unfortunately I couldn't afford to send back to U.S for refund so boots ended up going to charity.

I ordered my size 11D. I could barely get the left foot into the shoe, and my right foot (instep) was hopeless. I returned them.

In my opinion, these boots run one full size too small. A size 11 fits like a 10. Too painful to wear. Will donate them to someone needing a 10...

Not happy with the size and fit. Also not very comfortable, and was surprised to find it had a hard toe, when I didnt see that as specified.

Not very good for your heels. They cut up my heel pretty bad. I didn't even walk half a mile and my heel was bleeding. Maybe they were defective but it's the last time I'm going to buy these.

Sturdy boot but fell apart within months after wearing them. The soles have delaminated from the uppers. I've had to repair them twice now.
