She was very popular in the shoe market. Nevertheless, in 1991, due to a decline in production, the businessman was forced to sell his brainchild. In 1992 the company is reborn. Already with the name Skechers, it begins to produce youth sneakers and very soon becomes almost or not the largest manufacturer in this shoe segment.

In 2009, the company's specialists are developing an innovation - a special convex sole in the center, which imitates walking on any soft surface.
According to the manufacturer, if you constantly walk in such sneakers, then weight loss occurs due to a decrease in body fat, plus blood circulation improves.

But, it must be said that this property is highly questionable, and American buyers even filed a complaint against the company, since they did not find any tightening effect after using these sneakers. In 2013, the class action lawsuit was approved by a federal judge and Skechers was ordered to pay $ 40 million in consumer compensation.

Technologies
Skechers uses a variety of innovative technologies to create athletic shoes.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/krossovki-sketchers-62.jpg)
The introduction of unique insoles with a memory effect (or Memory Foam) has already been mentioned. They are modified in accordance with the shape of the feet of their owner, and then return to their original form.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/krossovki-sketchers-41.jpg)
Another innovation is the development of the versatile lightweight material Resalyte, which is actively used in the production of soles.He also has an “anatomical memory”.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/02/krossovki-sketchers-42.jpg)
With the help of modern Skechers technology, a material called Natural Stride has been created, which minimizes the weight of the shoe and, accordingly, makes it more comfortable to wear.
The brand's technologists have developed a stabilizer that reliably fixes the heel and foot area. This prevents deformation of the shoe and negates the possibility of dislocation of the foot during hard workouts.

Women can not but rejoice in the fact that shoes can be washed without problems in a machine ("barbaric"), placed in a special bag. After that it looks like new.
Many who have just tried on these shoes are immediately captivated by the feeling of incredible comfort. Women always want them to look more miniature: Skechers sneakers fulfill this desire.

According to reviews, Skechers sneakers can withstand intense runs, workouts, cycling, and hiking in the mountains. The foot is comfortable and not hot in them.
It is important for buyers that the brand's products are breathable (due to the mesh upper), this is especially true in the summer and in the gym. Models made of dense stretch fabric are amazingly pleasant to the body: nothing presses anywhere, but simply fits from all sides. After sneakers like this, faux leather options are simply unacceptable.

It is interesting to know the opinion of women about the notorious Shape Ups model.
During walking, according to subjective sensations, metabolism increases and heat transfer increases. This vaguely resembles the effect of a bath. And if you walk with a stroller, then this feeling becomes even more pronounced. At the same time, as young mothers advise, it is advisable to concentrate on the work of the muscles, drawing in the stomach. Some ladies note that the Shape Ups sneakers relieve tension in the lumbar and knee joints.

A positive nuance important for the fair sex is the absence of an unpleasant smell from shoes after prolonged workouts. Of course, antiseptic insoles are also pleasing.
Parents who buy Skechers sneakers for their children note that there are no scuffs and deformation during wear. In addition, the sole even retains the pattern after a couple of seasons of wear. Conveniently, many models are fixed with an elastic band, not lacing - children can easily put them on on their own. The guys themselves are delighted with bright laces, and even more so when an additional pair of a different color is included in the kit.
