Why Skechers are Awful

I do not like Skechers. No one should wear them. Please do not buy or wear Skechers.

This Skecher company blatantly rips off designs from other shoe manufacturers, like Nike. Skechers has given the world zero original ideas.

No one should wear them, especially if you happen to be male. When guys pick sneakers, they should probably chose a pair from a company that also makes high-performance athletic shoes.

For example, Chuck Taylors are not high tech, but Converse does make reasonably decent basketball shoes, especially since Nike bought them. Converse is a serious sneaker company with a heritage that dates back a century.

Adidas, New Balance, Asics, Reebok, Saucony, Brooks, Mizuno, Nike, and it's subsidiaries, Jordan Brand and Converse, all make reputable athletic shoes. When choosing sneakers, should one decide to bypass Nike and settle for something less, there are at least seven solid athletic shoe brands to choose from. Skechers is hardly one of them.

When posed with a hypothetical choice, would you choose to drive a Corvette or a Yugo? If you're a guy, you should probably choose the Corvette. Corvettes run fast, and they turn well at high speeds. Yugos don't.

If you buy a pair of Skechers, it's like buying a Yugo. Do you really want to do that? Do you?
