Some reviewers who underwent foot surgeries said that this is the only shoe that provides the comfort they need, while others prefer the softer cushioning that the EVA foam provides. Another remark was that the shoe takes some breaking in before it reaches its maximum comfort level. However, some reviewers remarked that the shoe is not always true to size in length, which can cause some discomfort, but sizing up should fix that issue.
One of the features, that customers loved is the roomy toe box, which gives plenty of space for the toes to spread out comfortably. In addition, the soft fabric lining creates a comfortable in-shoe feel throughout use, while the lightly padded tongue and collar wrap around the ankles in a comfortable, yet supportive way. The D’Lites feature an air-cooled Memory Foam footbed, which, in addition to its cooling properties, provides a good amount of supportive cushioning, as it molds to the shape of the feet, creating a customized cushioning experience.
When it comes to comfort, the general consensus is that the Skechers D’Lites are highly comfortable to wear during various workouts, jogging, running, walking or for long hour wear, thanks to its lightweight cushioning that does not weigh down or tire out the wearer. However, a few users commented that they did get a bit hot in the summer, although nothing too unpleasant and they still liked the shoes. Many reviewers found the Skechers D’Lites to be breathable enough to take on various workouts in the gym, or running, and some wear them for everyday use, often for long hours without issues regarding ventilation. The footbed contains an air-cooled Memory Foam that helps keep the feet cool during use and prevents overheating, which is quite common during intense workouts, especially in warm climates. Furthermore, the lining of the shoe is made of a soft fabric material, that is breathable and feels smooth against the skin, creating a comfortable in-shoe experience. Namely, the upper is constructed out of Trubuck leather and soft mesh, allowing the air to move in and out of the shoe freely, creating good ventilation and temperature regulation for the feet, which is very important for workouts or long hour wearing, when the feet need to stay cool and dry to avoid irritation. Breathability in the Skechers D’Lites is achieved through its well-ventilated upper and great in-shoe materials.
