Skechers has made some of my favorite walking shoes from the past few years, in some cases outstripping premium brands like Nike, Hoka and Brooks.
My top Skechers shoe for 2024, the Max Cushioning Elite 2.0, is reduced by up to 41% on Amazon, with some colorways down as low as $65 per pair.
Considering how affordable Skechers are even at full price, this discount makes them an absolute steal, and it’s a great time to pick up a pair if you’ve been waiting for the Black Friday sales to start.
I tested the Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 in 2024 and it remained in my walking shoe guide until only a couple of weeks ago (usurped by a slightly newer, more technical shoe).
However, it is the shoe I reach for when I have to do something quickly, like walk into town or go to a hospital appointment.
When there's a hard surface underfoot, I want the level of cushioning it offers, but sometimes don't need the more heavily-engineered experience that my Brooks or Hoka shoes offer.
I wear them when I don't want to risk getting other shoes mucky or wearing down the soles, but still want to feel just as comfortable.
It’s a great “kick-about” shoe, as my mother would say. Tough, durable and comfortable, and at a price point where it hurts a little less if you spill something on them.
