skechers d lites 2 runners womens | Skechers Summits review

We think that this basic walking Trainers from Skechers is going to suit guys and gals who:

• want a slip-on Trainers that's super quick to put on and take off
• need an exceptionally lightweight daily beater
• skechers esc plan
• prefer plush cushioning with Memory Foam

There is absolutely no arch support in the Skechers Summits. If you struggle with overpronating feet or weak ankles, we definitely recommend reaching for the skechers d lites 2 runners womens instead. This Trainers comes in dozens of various styles and colorways.

And if you are willing to stretch your budget in return for higher quality, better breathability, and more lasting construction, consider the On Cloud 5 or the Cloud 5 Push.

This may come as a surprise, but this seemingly light and mesh-covered Skechers Trainers really lacks in the breathability department.

Comparing the Summits to other walking Trainerss in our lab, we found that the air barely passes through its upper textile. In the video below, we pumped smoke through the uppers of both Trainerss at the same speed but you can see how the Skechers Summits is only letting out a tiny streak.

For that reason, we rated the Trainers's breathability as only 2 out of 5.

To support our findings, we also put the upper through a transparency test. Holding the half-cut Trainers against the light, we didn't see any perforations or pores that would be large enough to let the light shine through.

Looking at the upper through our microscope, it seems like the Trainers's tightly woven fabric is the one to blame.

The Trainers's slightly warm upper really paid off when it came to the durability test.

Applying our Dremel to the Trainers's toebox material at a 5K RPM speed, we were surprised to find that it didn't leave a see-through hole! Because the tool only damaged the topmost layer of the upper, we rated this Trainers's toebox durability as 3 out 5.

It was also nice to see that such a sensitive area as the heel padding stood up to the test just fine!

After applying the Dremel for 4 seconds at a 5K RPM speed, all we saw was a mere scratch. Thus, the heel padding received a solid 5 out of 5 score for durability.

Way to go, Skechers!

When it comes to the outsole, we wouldn't expect the same level of wear resistance from the Summits. The nature of the foam is too soft to withstand regular contact with asphalt and concrete.

Measuring its hardness with a durometer, we only got 53 HC, whereas walking Trainerss on average have an outsole hardness of 73.1 HC.

Quite expected, the Trainers's "outsole" failed when we tested its abrasion resistance with our Dremel.

Having drilled the material for 22 seconds at a speed of 10K RPM, the damage was much larger compared to other Trainerss.

We measured the depth of the dent with the help of a tread gauge and got 2.5 mm. That's a millimeter deeper than average!

If you plan to wear the Skechers Summits Rose daily, you will likely need a replacement after one season.

Because there is no outsole protecting the Trainers's exposed foam, we expect a shorter-than-average life span from this walking Trainers.

Weighing it on our scale, we got 8.1 oz (230g), which is an ounce lighter than walking Trainerss on average!

Amazingly, for its super light weight, this Skechers Trainers managed to pack more cushioning than average!

Measuring its heel stack with a caliper, we got 36.4 mm of height. This is about 5 mm thicker than average. Walking in the Summits, we indeed felt very comfy and well-cushioned.

Upfront in the forefoot, we found the midsole to be 20.6 mm thick. This is the same stack height as the average of walking Trainerss.

There is enough foam to keep the balls of the feet comfortable, while still letting the foot bend naturally as it transitions from heel to toe.

Comparing the difference in stack heights, we get a heel-to-toe drop of 15.8 mm. This is significantly taller than average, offering generous cushioning under the heel.

However, some of that drop gets lost as the Memory Foam insole squishes to take the shape of your foot.

Using our durometer, we measured the Trainers's foam at 21.1 HA. That's a whole 21% softer than our lab-tested walking Trainerss.

Like most Skechers Trainerss, the Summits feels marshmallow soft!

The Skechers Summits uses a Memory Foam insole to make its wearers even happier. This material molds to the shape of your foot to provide that customized padding. No wonder our insole measurement came out so big - the insole is nearly a centimeter thick (9.6 mm)!

Skechers Skechers Go Walk 6 Womens Trainers deteriorated way too quickly. We couldn't feel it as vividly after about a week of regular wear.

If you are looking for support and stability in this Skechers Trainers, we recommend looking elsewhere (hint: skechers d lites 2 runners womens).

The Summits was made as a 100% neutral walking Trainers. There is no added arch support or any other features that would help to stabilize the gait. This Trainers is meant to move along with the foot naturally.

There is not even a bit of torsional stiffness in the Skechers Summits.

As our manual assessment shows, the Trainers has zero resistance to bending and twisting. Thus, we rated its torsional rigidity with the lowest score of 1 out of 5.

The heel counter is just as pliable as the rest of the Trainers. On a scale from 1 to 5 where 5 is the stiffest, we rated it as 1.

A firm foothold is not to be expected here.

The Trainers has an average-width platform that is neither too narrow nor wide. We found its landing surface to be just right for a neutral walking Trainers.

As for the widest part of the heel, our caliper shows 88.6 mm. This is less than a millimeter away from the average measurement.

The Skechers Summits is a highly flexible Trainers, even compared to its companions from the same brand.

Based on our force gauge, it took us as little as 6.6N to bend the Trainers to a 90-degree angle. That's a whopping 180% less than it takes a walking Trainers on average!

The Trainers grips dry outdoor surfaces pretty well. However, we recommend staying away from wet floors or wood as the lack of rubber makes this Summits Trainers a slippery disaster.

The Skechers Summits fits just as expected in our regular walking Trainers size. Our toes had enough room in the toebox and the material had just enough give for a snug but non-restrictive fit.

Measuring the widest part of the Trainers's forefoot with a caliper, we got 98.8 mm. That's nearly the same as the average.

The Trainers's toebox remains spacious enough around the toes too. Measuring its width at the big toe, we got 77.3 mm. Less than a millimeter narrower than the average.

As a slip-on Trainers, the Skechers Summits has a fully integrated tongue.

The Trainers features a bungee-laced instep in place of a conventional lacing system. The bungee laces cannot be used to adjust the fit; however, they stay taut, providing a lockdown when the foot is inside, and stretch easily when the trainer is being taken off or put on.

As there is no tongue per se, we measured the thickness of the upper right above the instep. Our caliper returned 4.7 mm which is about the same amount of padding as the average.

This Skechers slip-on is pretty easy to put on in the first place. However, the brand still added a handy pull tab at the back to assist the wearer.

The Trainers's Memory Foam insole is removable. This is a good thing given how fast its effect is wearing out. You can revive the Trainers's underfoot comfort by replacing the insole.

There are no reflective elements on the Skechers Summits.
