Skechers Men's Equalizer Double-Play Slip-On Loafers - Wide Fit

In this review of the Skechers Men's Equalizer Double-Play the bottom line is simple: these are everyday slip-on loafers built for men who want lightweight comfort and a roomy fit. The design targets walkers, commuters and casual wearers who value an easy on/off shoe with reliable cushioning. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of the gel-infused memory foam insole and the FlexSole midsole, which delivers lasting shock absorption and a plush feel underfoot while the engineered mesh upper keeps the foot cool.

Key Features

• Roomy fit options: Available in medium (D) and wide (2E) widths so users with broader feet get comfortable toe room without squeezing.
• Breathable engineered mesh upper: The Skech-Knit mesh provides ventilation for a cooling effect during long wear and active days.
• Twin gore stretch closure: Stretch panels let you slip the shoe on and off easily while maintaining a snug, flexible fit for walking.
• Memory Foam Gel-Infused insole: Gel-infused Skechers memory foam molds to the foot and adds cushioned support for reduced pressure on heels and joints.
• FlexSole lightweight midsole: Shock-absorbing midsole cushioning reduces impact and keeps the shoe feeling light over extended use.
• Machine washable design: The slip-on can be placed on a gentle cold cycle and hung to air dry for easy maintenance.

Who It's For

These slip-ons are best for men who need a comfortable casual shoe for daily activities: walking, running errands, or all-day wear at work that allows casual footwear. The roomy 2E wide option makes them a good choice for men with wider feet or anyone who prefers extra toe box space.

They are less appropriate for formal dress occasions where a true dress shoe is required, and they are not designed for heavy trail use or rugged terrain where a dedicated hiking shoe would be better suited.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Lightweight construction and breathable mesh make them comfortable for all-day wear.

Cons

• Not intended as a formal dress shoe and may not match outfits that require polished leather.
