Is this shoe good for wide feet?

Yes. It is sold in wide widths, and owners with wide feet say it gives them room that standard sneakers lack.

Can I use it for weightlifting?

It is better for walking and light gym work. The soft Memory Foam insole gives less stability under heavy loads than a firm training shoe.

How does it fit compared with other Skechers?

Some buyers say it runs large and feels loose, so try it on before committing if you are between sizes.

Is it good for all-day standing?

Owners say the cushioned insole keeps feet comfortable through long days on hard floors.

How does it compare with the Nike Air Monarch?

The E'lite Afterburn is softer and comes in wide widths, while the Air Monarch is firmer and heavier.

How do I care for the leather upper?

Wipe it with a damp cloth and let it air dry. Avoid machine washing, which can break down the leather and synthetic panels.

Our take on the Skechers Men's E'lite Afterburn Training Sneaker

The Skechers E'lite Afterburn is a lace-up training sneaker with a leather and synthetic upper and a cushioned Memory Foam insole. It is built for gym sessions, casual wear and everyday walking, and comes in wide widths, which sets it apart from most training shoes. Owners like the cushioning and the roomy wide fit, but the 3.6 rating shows mixed feelings: several buyers report the upper wearing through or the fit running off. Compared with rivals like the Nike Air Monarch or New Balance 608, it leans softer and wider rather than firmer and more supportive.
