Skechers

I knew this brand in year 2014 as I was searching for walking shoes for my trip to Korea. I’m travelling with 3 of my ex-colleagues and their daily work is to inspect 4 blocks of housing estate, therefore they can walk whole day without feeling tired. I was afraid I will delay them with my poor stamina, so Cindy told me to get myself a pair of good walking shoes.

I was hesitating between Timberland and Skechers. Timberland costs more than S$200 and Skechers cost not more than S$200. I walked into Skechers store at Raffles City and bought myself one at the price of $99.90. The salesman was friendly and patience to my enquiries. I remember he gave me a huge carrier as the store ran out of the smaller one.

I didn’t wore it before my trip to let my legs get used to it so I got blisters during the last few days of my trips. I count myself lucky, if I got blisters at the beginning of the trip, I will not be able to find alternative shoes in Korea as it’s their winter time.

Skechers walking shoes is light and comfortable to walk with, although it does not match my outfit. The cushion is so soft that you don’t feel like you wearing shoes and it suit me as I like to barefoot. My legs don’t feel so tired easily as compared to normal shoes, it was aching only during the last 2 days of my trip.

Last year I went Taiwan for my family trip and I didn’t get myself a pair of walking shoes. I was thinking that I got a driver to drive us around for the 8 days and there’s no need for a pair. I regretted as without the soft cushion to support my legs, it starts to ache since Day 3.

Taking the advantage of the Great Singapore Sale, I got myself a new pair of Bobs for Skechers (10% discount) and Go Step (20% discount). I’m preparing for my 4th Korea trip in October and this time I will be in the nature most of the time. I will be bringing both pairs, bobs for shopping and Go Step for exploring the nature.

It’s really important to get a pair of good walking shoes while travelling, as we tends to walk more than our usual daily life.
