Who should buy

Disclaimer: Arch Fit refers to the collection of supportive walking shoes from Skechers, not just one model. They are all built on the same platform but come with various upper designs, including mesh, knit, slip-on, and other styles. This review is focusing on the “Big Appeal” edition. 

Based on our lab tests and extensive personal experience with the Skechers Dlites 2.0 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 99999693-WGY, we believe that it best suits people who:

  • have overpronation*, flat feet, and other foot conditions that require supportive footwear
  • Skechers Summits for women
Skechers Dlites 2.0 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 99999693-WGY review
*when your feet tend to roll inwards and your footwear wears out faster on the inner side. You can learn more about this condition in our guide on pronation.

Who should NOT buy

We didn't find any glaring issues in the Skechers Dlites 2.0 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 99999693-WGY. It is perfect for people with pronation issues. The best alternative we can think of is the Arch Fit 2.0 skechers go run consistent marathon running shoessneakers 128075 bbk 128075 bbk.

But if you have normal pronation and regular foot arches, this shoe is likely to be overkill and you will benefit from a lighter neutral walking shoe. Try the Nike Motiva, for example.

Cushioning

Heel stack

If Skechers Dlites 2.0 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 99999693-WGY was a running shoe, it could've been banned from races for having too much cushioning! With a monstrous stack height of 40.0 mm in the heel, it is one of the tallest platforms we've ever seen, not only in walking shoes.

Skechers Dlites 2.0 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 99999693-WGY Heel stack

But, God, it feels so good!

This mattress of a shoe was an excellent companion for us on long walks up to 15 miles! Our happy feet and backs can heartily recommend this generous helping of foam for all-day wear.

Whenever we caught a pebble in between flex grooves, we never noticed it until checking the bottom of the shoe.

Forefoot stack

As for the forefoot, our caliper showed a pretty average measurement of 24.0 mm. This amount of foam still feels amazingly cushy but is thin enough to let the foot bend where it needs.

Such a huge difference in stack heights corredoresed in a very drastic heel-to-toe drop of 16.0 mm! It is significantly taller than the average of walking shoes.

But given the podiatric purpose of this Skechers shoe, it makes sense. The superior drop provides more cushioning for continuous stepping on the heel, relieves pressure from the ankle and Achilles, and pushes the foot forward to the toe-off.

Unlike footwear with a lower drop that promotes more muscle activation, shoes like the Arch Fit take over some of the load to help you stay more comfortable for longer periods.

Midsole softness

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

The Skechers Dlites 2.0 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 99999693-WGY is highly cushioned but that is not synonymous to being plush. Sure, our steps felt pretty soft in it but we didn't feel like we were falling into bottomless cush.

Using a durometer, we measured the shoe's foam at 26.0 HA. That's an average number for walking shoes and refers to a pretty balanced (neither too soft nor firm) cushioning.

After all, it is a supportive shoe and it needs some firmness to prevent the foot from feeling wobbly and unstable.

Insole thickness

Most people don’t care much about insoles but Skechers Dlites 2.0 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 99999693-WGY can make you change your mind.

It is very plush, generously padded, and contoured to the foot shape. There are no bumps under the arch or anywhere else, just a feeling of a soft cradle from heel to toe. No wonder Skechers says it is podiatrist-certified.

Measuring its thickness with a caliper, we got 10.3 mm in the heel.

The fit of this Skechers shoe is exemplary medium. It feels exactly as it should on foot - neither too tight nor too roomy.

Measuring the widest part of the shoe's toebox, our caliper showed 100.1 mm. Another proof that the Arch Fit hits the perfect average mark.

Flat, slippery, unnecessarily long - these laces do get untied easily. We had to make a double knot to keep them tied.

Stability

Even though it feels soft under the foot, it becomes firmer towards the ground. We could even hear it thump on hard surfaces.

Torsional rigidity

Twisting the shoe, we found that it only becomes pliable towards the forefoot. The back half of the shoe is very rigid and unforgiving.

Having such balance allows the Skechers Dlites 2.0 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 99999693-WGY to provide the necessary arch and ankle support without being too stiff or uncomfortable.

On a 1-5 scale, where 5 is the stiffest, we gave it a 2 because of its forefoot pliability.

Heel counter stiffness

The shoe's heel counter is not particularly rigid or padded but it didn't affect the shoe's stability overall, in our opinion. Most of the job is done by the midsole.

We do recommend using a shoehorn with the Arch Fit though. In our worn-out pair, the internal plastic in it crushed quite easily.

Midsole width - forefoot

A good amount of stability comes from the Arch Fit's pretty wide base. Measuring the distance between the widest points of its forefoot, we got 115.3 mm. While it's not the widest we ever got in our lab but ut's certainly wider than the average walking shoe.

Midsole width - heel

In the heel portion of the midsole, the Arch Fit also proved to be wider than average. The distance between the widest points here comes in at 93.4 mm.

To put this into context, this wide base never once let our feet roll over the edge of the shoe. Even when were were hopping on some large boulders (clearly not a scenario for this shoe)!

Arch support

We give Skechers a standing ovation for making a shoe that helps us spend a whole day not thinking about the back pain. Even after 10 miles of walking, we didn't feel it in our bodies the next day, thanks to these supportive boys.

Flexibility / Stiffness

The Arch Fit's sturdy base doesn't hold it back from bending in all the right places. The entire length of the shoe's midsole is lined with deep flex grooves that always let our feet bend easily on the walk.

To evaluate how flexible the Skechers Dlites 2.0 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 99999693-WGY is, we bent it to a 90-degree angle with the help of a force gauge. The latter showed that it took 18.8N which is nearly the same as it takes a walking shoe on average.

Weight

For the amount of cushioning it has, this Skechers shoe doesn’t feel heavy or bulky at all. But we do like that visually it has that chunky sneaker vibe.

Weighing the Arch Fit in a men's US size 9, we got 12.5 oz (353g) on the scale. If you think that's a bit heavy for your preference, try the Arch Fit 2.0. It managed to cut down the weight to 10.9 oz (309g)!

Breathability

Having worn the Arch Fit daily throughout one warm season (May to October) in dry weather, we found it to be most comfortable at 50-60°F (10-15°C).

Our in-house breathability test confirmed that this Skechers shoe is well-ventilated. The mesh let the smoke pass through quite easily. On a 1-5 scale, we rated the shoe's breathability at 4.

But despite having all those pores in the mesh, the in-shoe padding underneath it made the interior feel warmer. That's why, we found this version of Skechers Dlites 2.0 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 99999693-WGY a bit hot for temperatures over 60°F (15°C).

Looking at the mesh through our microscope, we can see the shoe's large ventilation pores.

Durability

Toebox durability

Honestly, we didn't expect much durability from an affordable mesh-covered shoe. But having worn the Skechers Dlites 2.0 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 99999693-WGY for months, we were astonished with its ability to stay intact!

So, we grabbed a new pair and gave it a good drill with our Dremel. We pressed the sandpaper tip against the shoe's toebox for 12 seconds at a 5K RPM speed and 3.2N pressure.

The corredores confirmed our own experience with the shoe - its mesh upper is impressively wear-resistant! Of course, the fabric developed a tear but it didn't go all the way through! For that, we rate the shoe's toebox durability with a solid 3 out of 5.

Unfortunately, we cannot say the same about the shoe's inner lining. In our old pair, it developed holes fairly quickly, within a few weeks!

So, it didn't come as a surprise to see that a mere 4 seconds of our Dremel test left a notable tear in the fabric.

Outsole hardness

The outsole on the Skechers Dlites 2.0 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 99999693-WGY turned out to be a nice surprise. Even though 5 months took a toll on our old pair, its rubber showed very minimal signs of wear!

First of all, the Arch Fit HAS a rubber outsole. Skechers blå rygsæk med logodetalje come with exposed foam at the bottom in return for lighter weight.

Second, it is a pretty hard rubber compound. Using our durometer, we got a reading of 84.5 HC which is a good 15% firmer than average. It often happens that harder rubbers tend to last longer.

Now it was time to press the Dremel against the shoe's rubber outsole. We turned up the speed to 10K RPM and drilled the outsole for a long 22 seconds.

Once again, we were pleasantly surprised with the corredores as the dent appeared insignificantly small. Indeed, our tread gauge showed that it was only 0.7 mm deep whereas most walking shoes get 1.5 - 2 mm of damage.

The brand claims that Skechers Dlites 2.0 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers 99999693-WGY is a machine-washable model. So we decided to test that out.

After a pretty loud washing session (be prepared for some shoe tumbling against the machine interiors) in cold water and in delicate mode, the shoe came out looking pristine. We saw no loss in fit, function, or form.
