Nike Cortez Lakers FDF1076

Reviewer Greg Cielec

I would say the only negative is that they are made in China.

Reviewer An Old Thelemite

Fits nice, looks good.

Reviewer MSchulz

I've put many, many miles on these. I plan on buying another pair. My arches were giving me trouble prior to buying these... now I just have shin splints.

Reviewer Jeremiah L Graves

My 13yr-old son purchased these with his birthday money. We looked at the "known" brand, and these were about half the price, and with better reviews! He has not been disappointed at all. We did order a half size larger, based on the comments/feedback, and they fit great.

Reviewer N Clevenger

I bought these for the excellent price. They are sturdy and comfortable.

Reviewer Las Gayle

These are my third straight pair. Seems like they aren't as comfortable as the former two, but still good overall. Maybe just my own getting older makes them not seem as comfortable. We'll see if they are constructed as well as the former pairs which lasted me many years each.

That's different from other folks with "regular" feet. The bones below my toes are exceptionally wide and yet I have a very narrow heel so many shoes just don't fit me well at all. If I get the toe box area wide enough to accommodate my foot, then the heel area is too wide. I usually use those sticky pads in the heel area to make it snug on my heel. Otherwise I walk out of the shoe. This pair, because they go above my ankle, bypasses the too wide of a heel section. I put on a pair of medium socks (not too thin or too thick), loosened the laces and did have a tiny bit of trouble getting my entire foot in the shoe, but once I did, I laced the shoes up medium-tight and walked around. Usually with shoes I have an initial bit of discomfort - the tops or the soles are stiff or my big toe hits an odd spot inside the shoe or whatever. Not so with these shoes! Aside from listening to a bit of interesting creaking/squeaking from the tops of the shoes when I took a step, the toe box area seemed wider than average shoes and my foot felt very comfortable in the area with no squeezing or discomfort in any way. My heels did not seem to slip around inside the shoes at all, maybe because these shoes hold the ankle fairly still. The leather seems to be of high quality - it has that good smell of quality leather and while leather itself doesn't breathe, the ventilation holes on the top of the toe box and around the ankle area seem to be able to keep the foot cool. I wanted this pair because my left ankle often tries to give way on me due to an old injury. I had a tendon tear so badly several years ago that when it tore, it make a loud crack sound that made me believe I'd broken something. It took over 12 weeks just to be able to put weight on that foot again. Tendons never completely heal so when the weather changes or I do too much walking in flip-flops, that tendon starts giving way and is very painful. These shoes that go over the ankle should help keep the tendon from giving way and/or causing me discomfort. Nice pair of shoes that I will get a great deal of use out of!

Very happy with the product now that I have replaced the insole with one that adds to the arch support. the insole has also improved the fit which was a little loose. Easy shoe to wear.. comfortable and light weight. I did reverse the shoe lace coming through the top eye .. comes in from below the eye instead of going through the eye from the top of the eye. Not sure how that might have impacted the fit but it does make it easier to get in and out of the shoe. For me .. being able to remove the insole and replace it with one providing more arch support and cushioning has made a big difference.
NEW DEVELOPMENT .. after less than two months of not very frequent use the thin dark grey outer sole(that part that hits the ground) has worn off. Did not realize that the surface that hits the ground was so thin and quick to disappear. This new development has changed my evaluation of these shoes. So .. shoe fits, feels good and looks nice but disappoints when it comes to being worth the money.

Reviewer Rachel M Schreck

These shoes are very comfortable, look good, and are super convenient

Reviewer Christine Clearview

Shoes are for my husband who wears a size 14 and has a difficult time finding shoes that are comfortable and fit well. He loves these Skechers and has had them on since they arrived. He's breaking them in for a trip we are taking in the Spring and no doubt they will serve him well.
