Skechers Mens Segment Rilar Oxford

...of these guys. As someone with peripheral neuropathy, foot discomfort and pain are the usual, so there's not much more important to my daily dress routine than my shoes. There's nothing that focuses your mind on the feel and fit of your shoes quite like chronic foot pain, and for the last 8 years or so, these have been my shoes. Since they're not listed on Sketchers website anymore, I think the product is discontinued, and remaining stock is NOS. A real shame, because these are awesome shoes. I've been wearing these for daily work (office/business casual, and managerial-type jobsite stuff), and they've been lasting about 2-3 years or so per pair there, then another several years of wear if you don't necessarily care what they look like--2 years of average use will scuff up any pair of shoes. One of the best aspects of this shoe is its ability to work in all types of environments, and if you're okay with shoes that look a little worn, you can wear these things for a very long time. I still wear my original pair if I'm doing something I know will be messy, muddy, oily, or whatever. The existing footbed and insole are fantastic--I really like Sketchers Relaxed Fit line. While I now wear prescription orthotics soles in my shoes (including these), the Sketchers Relaxed Fit insoles are very nice, about like having a brand new pair of quality drugstore insoles installed. Walk as far as you want, your feet will be as comfortable as they can be. These insoles will eventually wear out, but they will probably last longer than the outsoles; keep buying drugstore insoles to stretch the service life, because there will be plenty of life left when those give up. The toe box is nice and wide; nice if you've got some bunions or some such, as there's room for your toes to do what they gotta do, and space for them to be there. The upper is nice and sturdy; while they don't protect your feet as well as boots, they do protect them better than most shoes, and certainly most shoes you'd consider for a business casual dress code. They probably feel a little more like boots than office shoes, which I guess is fine by me. The outsole is thick rubber, which is awesome, but somewhat soft--great for comfort, less so for wear. The soles will be the first thing on these to start showing wear, and honestly, the outsoles wear much more quickly than they should. But, don't let those wearing soles fool you; still plenty of life left in the shoes, even after the soles wear down past the lugs (meaning the soles are almost completely treadless). The softer rubber compound provides more traction than you'd think in an urban environment, and provide plenty of purchase even after you've worn off the treads of the soles. The treads themselves aren't all that good to begin with--pretty shallow, large blocky lugs, absence of sipes. Whatever--the characteristics that make the soles wear poorly are the same characteristics that make them useful after the tread is gone. If you live in an environment that has an actual winter, with ice/snow, then you'll need something else for that season. While the upper is waterproof, and these will keep your feet warm and dry, they're not much good for snow (shallow lugs if new, non-existent lugs if not). The other great thing about the outsole is its width--very stable shoe. Its really important that folks that can't feel their feet have a stable, supportive step, and this shoe provides that in spades. Workmanship and QC has been outstanding on the pairs I've bought. Never had a stripped or dissecting seam, broken eyelet (those are metal), or the dreaded "total glue failure," where the outsole starts to curl out a little bit, then starts coming apart from the upper, ultimately resulting in most of the upper becoming unattached to sole. You know, floppy shoe. Never happened with these guys, and its not like its a close call. Perhaps best overall is the ability to put these guys on in the morning, regardless of my workday (office, traveling, jobsite, or just hiking around farmground) and know I'll be comfortable and stable, even with my terrible, terrible feet. Just ask yourself, why else would someone buy three pair of shoes with a known issue of quickly-wearing outsoles? Because they're the most comfortable shoes I own, that's why. Recommended. Kinda. I'd like to keep buying these for myself as long as I can. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I’ve been wearing the Skechers Segment Rilar Oxford for years, and this is now my fourth pair. I wear a size 14 wide, and the fit has been consistently comfortable and supportive. These shoes provide great support for all-day wear and are very durable. The leather holds up well over time, and they maintain their shape nicely. I already own them in black, and this brown color is perfect — exactly what I expected. They’re also fairly priced for the quality you get. After multiple pairs, I can confidently say they’re reliable and worth the money. If you need a comfortable, supportive leather shoe in a wide size, these are a solid choice. Read more

I would first like to say that these aren't the best shoes, but they're what I would expect for the price. I bought them for work because I spend a lot of time walking but also dress somewhere between business casual and casual. I have wide feet and often have trouble finding shoes that fit. I bought the extra wide, and these shoes did not disappoint! One issue, though, is that my feet are wide but not big; I'm a pretty slim person and not particularly tall. The extra wide shoes have a lot of vertical space to accommodate larger feet. I had read the reviews before purchasing the shoes and others suggested buying inserts to fill in the space. I took their advice and that was enough for my feet to fill out the shoes. I'm giving the shoes four stars because of the break-in period. They made my feet sore every day during the first week, but not always in the same spot, which I guess is a sign that they were being broken in? Since then, I've had no problems and the shoes are comfortable. I've had them for several weeks and I walk a few miles every day. Like I said before, I wouldn't expect everything to be perfect for this price, and the shoes feel fine now. I would probably spend more on higher quality shoes if it were easier to find nice-looking extra wide shoes, but these get the job done. Just be prepared to use inserts and to push through the break-in period. UDATE: 3 years later The shoes have held up very well! They're finally starting to come apart: the fabric inside the heel is separating. No issues with the sole, sides, outside material, or shoelaces, and they're still comfortable. I'm on my feet all day and regularly rack up 6k+ steps/day. For that level of use, 3 years seems excellent for relatively cheap shoes. I would consider buying them again. Read more
