Not every buy needs a spec sheet. Sometimes you just want a shoe that feels good from the first step and stays comfortable through a long day. That's the promise of the Skechers Summits – Brisbane: a lightweight knit lace-up with a full-length Memory Foam insole, and one of the most-bought men's sneakers on Amazon India.
Soft, light and easy to live with, for walking, not workouts
If you want a comfortable, low-maintenance sneaker for commutes, travel and long walks, the Summits – Brisbane delivers that soft Memory Foam feel at a price that's often well under MRP. Get a proper running or training shoe for sport.
What we like
- Full-length Memory Foam insole for soft step-in comfort
- Breathable engineered knit upper, about 300 g per shoe (listing)
- Lightweight, flexible, shock-absorbing midsole
- Machine-washable design, per Skechers
Keep in mind
- Not a running or gym shoe: cushioning is soft, not supportive for sport
- Knit upper isn't water-resistant (a problem in the monsoon)
- Light grey shows dirt quickly

Comfort: where it shines
The Memory Foam insole gives that soft, sink-in feel Skechers is known for, and the lightweight, shock-absorbing midsole keeps it easy on the legs during long walks or a day of travel. The engineered knit upper is breathable, with stabilising panels at the toe and heel, and the padded collar and tongue avoid rubbing.
Style and everyday use
The light-grey knit with a subtle side "S" logo works with jeans, chinos and casual office wear. It's a good airport, mall and weekend shoe. Skechers also describes the design as machine washable, which helps with a light colour.
What it isn't
- Not a sports shoe. Soft cushioning is comfortable but doesn't give the support needed for running or gym training.
- Not monsoon-ready. The knit upper soaks through in heavy rain.
- Light grey shows dirt. Expect regular washing, or pick a darker colour.
Sizing tips
Most buyers find the Summits true to size. If you have wide feet or are between sizes, go half a size up. Amazon lists free size exchange for this shoe, which makes it a low-risk buy.
Who should buy it?
- Buy it if you want a light, cushioned everyday sneaker for walking, commuting and travel.
- Skip it if you need a running, training or rain-proof shoe.
Sale prices on this shoe swing a lot by size and colour. Check the price for your size before you buy.

Frequently asked questions
Are Skechers Summits – Brisbane good for running?
They're designed for casual wear and walking. The soft Memory Foam cushioning is comfortable, but they lack the structure and support of a dedicated running shoe. Use them for walks, not runs.
Do Skechers Summits run true to size?
Most buyers find them true to size. If you're between sizes or have wide feet, go half a size up, and use Amazon's free size exchange if needed.
Can I wash Skechers Summits in a washing machine?
Skechers describes the design as machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water, remove the insole if possible, and air dry. Never use a dryer.
Are they good for the monsoon?
No. The knit upper is breathable but not water-resistant, so it will soak through in heavy rain.
