bought a pair of Skechers trainers from Wynsors in Wigan after 4 weeks the sole on both trainers was getting very worn with the top surface worn through. I have had nothing but Skechers trainers and shoes for the last 10 years and never had a problem. i returned them to the shop who sent them away to be examined by their people not Skechers and they said there is no manufacturing fault but no explanation what is wrong with them. the lady in the shop said its probably wear and tear, i am 70 years old and have COPD and a few joint problems . i would not expect so much wear and tear after 4 weeks use if i was walking 20 miles every day. If you are going to buy Skechers i would get them direct from Skechers then if you have a problem you have a better chance of getting it resolved. KB
