SkechersMen's Stamina Nuovo

First off, let me just say that these shoes are awesome!PROS:- Well-built- Durable- Great support- Handles abuse quite well- All-around champCONS:- PriceI usually go through shoes pretty fast, because I work in manufacturing, and am constantly moving around for 12 hour shifts. When I'm not working, I am doing something outside, usually hiking or camping. These shoes handle it all, and even after a long day, my feet still aren't sore.I wanted a strong, durable shoe that would last, because I got tired of shelling out money literally every month for a new pair after the old ones bit the dust. So, I finally broke down, and bought a pair of Nuovos; I'm really glad I did! I originally bought these May 27th, and with Amazon Prime, they arrived fast as ever. Well, it's now September 10th, and they're still going strong, although starting to show their age in places. After 4 months, the are just now starting to have some frayed stitching in the front, loosing a slight bit of spring in the support, and the tongue tends to slide under the laces. But then again, that's 4 months of heavy use and abuse. I'm pretty hard on my shoes, and usually toss them in the washing machine and dryer at least every 2 weeks, if not more. Not your typical shoe-cleaning practice, I know. But they've taken it like champs. The only reason I am starting to think about getting another pair now is because they are (very) slowly starting to go out on me, and, it would just be nice to have another pair handy and already broke in when they do go. But for now, they're still in good condition to work.I really like the support these shoes offer, first and foremost. These are literally a shoe that is comfortable wearing all day long. My feet don't get super hot, like other shoes do (although more ventilation could be a plus). The traction and grip of these shoes is pretty good - a lot better than many of the shoes out there in retail-store-world, anyway. I also really like the amount of padding that went into the shoes, especially around the heel and sides of the foot - it gives a nice snug, secure feel. These things are also tanks! They take whatever you throw at them, and keep on trucking. When I go hiking, I'm usually wearing a 40-80 pound pack (depending on number of people and duration), and for that reason, usually switch to my good 'ol trusty Danners for ankle support. However, this summer, the Danners stayed in the closet, and I just went with these, and had no problems at all.In response to some of the reviews out there on the Internet saying that these shoes cause you to loose balance - I honestly can't confirm nor deny that. I will admit that, at times, I imagine it looks like I'm a drunken fool bumbling around, but I can't honestly tell if that's the shoes, or just me being my normal, uncoordinated self (after all, I trip over my own feet... soooo). As far as that aspect, I really can't weigh in with an honest answer, although I can say that I don't believe the shoes cause any unbalance issues.All in all, I would highly recommend these shoes. Sure, for my size (14M), they're a bit expensive, but when you consider the price of one pair over 4-5 months vs buying a new pair of shoes every month, I suppose it's all worth it in the long run. Honestly, these are great shoes, and stand up to whatever you need them for. And, with Amazon, you not only get them fast with Prime, but if you don't like them, Amazon's really good about returns, so there's honestly no reason not to at least try them!

Finally found a true size 11 . All the other brands stopped making shoes true to size. Very comfortable and stylish.

Good brand, sturdy, attractive shoe. Love that it has reflective elements that help keep you safe on night walking or early AM when it is still dim outside. I bought for my husband and really love the look so much. I wear a women's size 10 but the shoes are so nice I plan to buy a pair for me and will do the conversion from my normal size to a men's so size (8). The price is really a bargain because these shoes are going to last a long time. At least thus far it has been a few weeks and I'm no disappointed...and for a pessimist (me) who never writes reviews, that says a lot.

I originally bought because they were well vented and lightweight. Over the years I've done everything from hiking to building a house in them.Overall they last very good with very harsh use. I've even used them as water shoes when I forgot mine.They do well on very hot surfaces, insulation from heat in AZ at 120 deg.Enough support that my feet don't hurt like a pair of skater waffle shoes I bought awhile ago.They do shrink a bit if washed in hot water or dried in the dryer. Even so I wash them when needed.As much as I like them they could use a little more cushion under the foot. 4 stars

Durable and comfortable shoes

Fit well, comfortable, have walked many miles with no issues.

One of the best shoes I had. Very durable and still looks new after using them for more than 2 months all days. It took me two days only to get used to it. They are very easy to put on, and you don't have to tie the laces tightly as other shoes. The only thing you have to be careful with is not walking on a wet slippy surface. You can slip and fall.

My husband has been buying size 12 Skechers for years! This is his go to sneaker. He uses it daily for work and when they start wearing out he puts them in the garage for his "work sneakers" in our yard. They have held up very well. I actually bought him another pair to hold as an extra and his response was, "Thanks, but these things take all my abuse and still are doing fantastic! It's going to be a while before I need another pair.Meanwhile his last ones were a "Big name brand" and were over $150 and lasted less time that these. I went to buy these at my local clothing store and these same sneakers were double this price there at the store. Amazon had a great deal and the shipping box and packaging was perfect. No issues and I have bought multiple times on Amazon now.Note: my husband is a regular width. His regular sketchers fit perfectly.If you are looking for wide width - I can't vouch for the normal "wide width", but My son however is a 12EEE and we buy him skechers 12XW and they fit him with no pain or rubbing. I know when you move into a wide width it is VERY hard to find nice sneakers - especially for young teen boys. Skechers has not failed us. Quality shoe for the price.
