I bought a pair of running shoes for occasional moderate running and walking. They began to fall apart in 5 months. No marathon running or rock climbing, just very ordinary usage and terrible product quality. Show details

Backs of Slip ons definitely not as solid as my other pair I have. Really disappointed with this as I am waiting for hip surgery and can’t get the new pair on without back of shoe crushing in. Contacted sketchers and was told because they are not the same as my last pair the slip on technology is different, so why advertise them as slip ons. Was also told I won’t be able to get a refund. $70 down the drain. Show details

Disappointed – Thankfully, no harm came to either of us. I visited the Skechers store at Harbour Town and showed them the shoes, which are practically new, to explain what happened. Despite it being a quality issue, they requested the shoe box and receipt after a year, which I no longer have. The store manager claimed that this happened due to changes in… Read more

weather conditions, which is not a convincing or acceptable response and seems like an excuse. This is not what I expected from a reputed brand like Skechers.

I am very disappointed with the quality of the product and the customer service I received

Nonsense model – (Work Relaxed Fit Sure Track Erath Leather Shoes in Black) This model of shoe is totally waste of money, I buys this model twice but same problem. It makes irritating sound after 1-2 month of use. I don’t know whats the problem in this model but its totally nonsense. Show details

I bought my shoes 6 months ago and the heel is falling apart already. They will not give me a refund as they state that it is wear and tear. So if you buy these kinds of shoes you only get 6 months out of them. Don't last long !!! Show details

Purchased 3 sets of kids shoes online as a present, when they arrived, it was like they came out of the seconds container. One set the box wax crushed, and lid was ripped off, the second pair have obviously been worn and returned, they are already damaged, and the 3rd pair had all the tags ripped off and again were obvious returns. These arent… Read more

cheap shoes, and to even sell them in this condition is disgusting. I won't buy another thing from sketchers again.

My shoes didn't wash well and the sketchers team refunded me and said no need to return the shoes. They were so comfortable that I wanted to keep them so I painted them for the Tennis Open (AO) this weekend. Pictures attached :) Show details

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! Live chat is absolutely useless, was on it for a little over an hour with an incompetent customer service representative named "[Name Removed]" who was unable to (twice) read what I was actually enquiring about. I have uploaded the chat and how infuriatingly incompetent the worker was! The time between responses was… Read more

15-20 minutes.

All I wantred to know was what the typical battery life was for the light up shoes, because the shoes were ON the entire time from NSW to QLD, lighting up with every bump/movement and using/draining the battery.

I purchased work shoes instore and needed another pair - I was told that they couldn’t order them into the store - so I’d have to get them sent to my address. I bought the exact same shoe - same size - same colour - but they are the most uncomfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. Now this has happened to me TWICE now. I thought that it was just a… Read more

coincidence - but no. Because if they came to the shop - I could try them on - and tell them I want a refund or exchange. Can’t do that if you’ve had them sent to you with no packaging can you?

They seemed like quality shoes and were nice and soft. It didn't take long before they fell apart. The stitching on the soles is fake and the soles fall apart very quickly. Not worth the $120. The attached photos are from 4 months of wearing 5 days a week to work in an office.

Highly disappointed with the shoes and the customer service. They’re less than five months old and the soles are already worn through—despite only being used indoors. When I contacted customer service, I was told the issue wasn’t with the shoe but with the way I wore them. I wasn’t aware the shoes were meant to be kept in a frame for display rather than actually worn. Extremely dissatisfied with both the product and the response I received. Show details

I wish I could give Sketchers a zero star or even less as one star rating can’t describe my frustration of the experience I had with them. Purchased a pair of shoes at full price (despite model being new) for my son to use for his school from Chatswood branch in Sydney. In less than two months shoe fell apart. I thought the shoe was made out of… Read more

paper as the way the shoe was damaged was just unbelievable!! When I showed them to their branch, they claimed shoes being used improperly hence damaged!!! I escalated to their customer service team and they came back with the same assessment!! My son has used multiple shoes and using more than one for his school at the moment. Never seen any shoe of any brand to show this level of poor quality in just less than two months!!!

I have recently been in the Smithfield QLD store and in 4 days have bought 2 pair of shoes, socks and a shoe protection kit with water repellant and stain protector for the shoes. They are GREAT to wear, light weight, reasonably priced and the… Read more

staff could not have been more helpful. Nothing was a problem, they gave me as much time and advice as possible and could answer all of my questions about their product They were never pushy or trying to get me to buy something. They offered constructive advice with every pair I tried on (and I did try on a few different styles) and am extremely happy with what I got. I also go a $20.00 gift card which was unexpected through an email from them as a loyalty thing. Very impressive and the store was clean, well laid out and staff were all great in every way possible. Well done Sketchers Smithfield in Cairns

 Follow-up  · I am still wearing the shoes (not every day of course) but they are wearing well, fit well, and with the stain protector on them still look like new. I was told I could wash them in the machine but have not tried this yet but it is a great option should they get really dirty. Wish other shoes could do the same from other stores !!! No returns… Read more

I still haven’t received my online order over a week later despite paying for express delivery. I have been on live chats and sent emails to Skechers and have had no satisfaction and no updates as to where my shoes are. The Skechers live chat team just want to fob you off. Never again.

 Follow-up  · I finally received a full refund from Skechers for my missing shoe order some weeks later.

Thank you Peggie-Sue ( Area Manager) for being kind and very professional. Some of the staff treated us very poorly and they were very dismissive. Me and my siblings have always used the same store to buy shoes due to our profession. I made my mind this morning that I would never go there until I spoke to Peggie-Sue. She listened to our issues… Read more

Had a lovely experience @ Docklands store buying my ArchFit & GO WALK 8 Taupe Shoes due to Jahnvi & Topi painstakingly going back & forth changing shape & sizing for me. Topi recommended these as he bought some for his Mum. At the register Shandy mentioned I could get Qantas points as Member & then a $20 discount on next purchase. Very happy.… Read more

Bought my Husband & son back a couple of days later & Topi was leaving at 5. & made a note we would be coming to receive my discount on their shoes. Fatima was the only staff member left being 5:30, late part of closing time & was Extremely busy helping my two choose & change sizes while others were coming in the half closed doors - Poor thing I felt sorry for her. Thankyou for your attentive service. Cheers Suzanne Neal

I went into buy some shoes at Melton. Had a $20 voucher. Shoes were $119.99 Was told it needed to be $120.00 to use the voucher. In paying cash it came to $120.00. But still could use the voucher because the shoes where only $119.99. So I asked for my change . Sales person responded there isn't change . My point exactly. What. Show details

I recently went into the store at Westfield Miranda to purchase a pair of shoes for my husband. We knew exactly what we wanted and when we asked to separate sales people, they both advise the shoe we were after was no longer available in quite. They… Read more

said it was only available in black or dark grey. Within literally two minutes of leaving the store I was on the website and found the pair of shoes that I wanted and purchased them online with free delivery. I cannot believe how lazy these kids are that they be bothered to organise a pair of shoes, especially when somebody knows exactly what they want. Absolutely hopeless.

 Follow-up  · I was at Westfield where there was a store. No stock in store. Staff checked computers and said there was none which was incorrect. Online was fine.

BEWARE!! NOT FOR “UNBALANCED” PEOPLE I loved the look of these shoes when I got them, they were light and comfortable. Unfortunately, for me there was a problem with the non slip soles, shoes kept “propping”, i.e. the shoes stopped while my body… Read more

kept going, causing several nasty falls and bruises on the knees, legs and elbows. Not to mention the embarrassment of trying to haul my 76yo body back to a standing position…. I also had several falls while wearing them, which has never happened with other shoes. Have since read this happens because of the extra soft “memory foam” soles. I sent a similar review to Skechers but received no reply.

 Follow-up  · I was unable to return them as I had worn them four times and after the fourth mishap I put them in a cupboard never to be worn again. I couldn’t even give them away as I didn’t want anyone else to fall and injure themselves. Can’t comment on durability but they felt comfortable on (as long as I didn’t try to walk in them). Skechers must be overwhelmed with complaints as I still haven’t had a reply from them!
