Who should NOT buy

If you are looking for a highly breathable pair of shoes that you can enjoy in the summer, go for the Demi Lovato for Skechers.

If you need a more stable walking shoe that also has a durable sole, try the Skechers Max Cushioning Arch Fit.

Breathability

As soon as you read that this shoe got a 2 out of 5 in our breathability test, you might not believe your eyes. But don't worry, we have this video to prove it! In it you can actually see how most of the smoke we pumped into the Skechers Sneakers SKECHERS Proven Force 13376 WHT White gets trapped inside.

We compared it with the Demi Lovato for Skechers Push, which got a 4/5 in this same test. Very breathable!

Its mesh material totally deceived us, and when we put this pair on we realised that it was not the best for sunny days.

We also put the upper through a transparency test. Holding the half-cut shoe against the light, we saw that it did not have any pores or perforations big enough to let the light shine through.

These two tests had already shown us that sweaty feet and this pair could easily become best friends. Just to know a bit more about its material, we decided to look for some ventilation holes using our microscope.

But... nothing! Look at how tightly woven the fabric is. There's no way this shoe could go for yoga classes! Breathe in and breathe out? Impossible!

Durability

Toebox durability

When a pair is not very breathable, it usually makes up for it with its durability. And the Skechers Sneakers SKECHERS Proven Force 13376 WHT White is a clear example!

Look at our Dremel going all out. If this shoe had eyes, it wouldn't even have blinked!

So everyone knows just how incredible this is, we compared the Skechers Sneakers SKECHERS Proven Force 13376 WHT White once again with the Demi Lovato for Skechers Push.

After 4 seconds of drilling its toebox, we could see how wear-resistant it is. If we take into account how affordable the Sneakers SKECHERS Proven Force 13376 WHT White is, the 5/5 we've given it in our toebox durability test becomes even more impressive!

Чоловіче skechers зима?

That seems to be the case of the Skechers Sneakers SKECHERS Proven Force 13376 WHT White, a knight with only half of its armour that scored a 2/5 in our heel padding durability test.

The brand decided to go for softness here. We can see how flimsy the material is if we compare the results of this Dremel test in this shoe and in the Skechers Summits.

Honestly, the Skechers Sneakers SKECHERS Proven Force 13376 WHT White could use a little more durability here.

Outsole hardness

As we can see when we look at the bottom of the shoe, it doesn't have any extra protection.

Its foam is completely exposed, and its soft nature will definitely not survive constant contact with concrete and asphalt, or any other abrasive surfaces.

Measuring its hardness with a durometer, we only got 57.4 HC. The average for walking shoes is 72.3 HC, so this score is pretty low.

Outsole durability

Following the previous result, we were not surprised to find out that this shoe totally failed the durability test.

Using our Dremel to go all in for its outsole for 22 seconds at a speed of 10K RPM, we saw the damage was significantly higher compared to other pairs.

Once we were done, we measured the dent with a tread gauge. It was 2.5 mm deep, which is almost 1 mm deeper than average!

So... if you're planning on using the Skechers Sneakers SKECHERS Proven Force 13376 WHT White every day, you will most likely need a new pair sooner rather than later.

We know we've said this shoe is pretty light, but listen to it when it says "go walk"! We totally enjoyed our casual strolls with it!

Using our caliper to measure its heel stack, we got 33.0 mm. Even though this score is only slightly higher than average, the Skechers Sneakers SKECHERS Proven Force 13376 WHT White managed to keep us comfy during our 10-hour-long test!

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

It's safe to say that if we're talking about Skechers, we will almost always mention plushness.

When we pressed our durometer against this pair's midsole, it showed 19.8 HA. This means that it's 21% softer than average. Marshmallow soft, it is!

Stability

This shoe is designed to follow the natural movement of your feet, so don't expect it to be incredibly stable.

It felt pretty much like putting on a pair of bedroom slippers. So, if you have flat feet or overpronation, we recommend you stay away from it! What about trying the Skechers Max Cushioning Arch Fit instead?

Midsole width in the forefoot

Throughout our tests, this pair has shown us that it's definitely not what we'd call stable.

But, surprisingly, its midsole is wider than average! Measuring the widest part of the forefoot with a caliper, we got a reading of 112.5 mm.

This means that the landing surface is also wider, so we felt surefooted in our long walks with the Sneakers SKECHERS Proven Force 13376 WHT White.
