The Skechers brand has its roots in the early 1990s, when Robert Greenberg, the founder of LA Gear shoes, embarked on a new adventure in footwear with his son. Since then, this father-son experiment in casual footwear has grown into a global phenomenon. Today, Skechers offer over 2,000 shoe styles for men, women and kids in a vast selection of department stores and corporate-owned shops around the world.
The Skecher name appears on such a wide variety of shoes for all the family, it is difficult to pin down a particular style associated with the brand. Initial designs were more focused on skaters, but today this simply isn’t the case. Some of the most popular Skechers for women include: the Bikers’ Tickled, Neptune, Bikers Star Studded, Bikers Sasha, Calies and Citywalk Gourmet. Popular Skechers for men include: the Urbantrack Tao, the Citywalk Footpath, the Talus Acropolis and the Studio. For the kids, Skechers offer a solid selection of stylish shoes loosely based on best-selling adult collections. Popular children’s Skechers include: the Supercharger, the Frontier Rim, Trixies, Bikers Fauna and the stunning Grand Jams Wildflower boot.
In addition to the wide collection of casual and athletic shoes made by Skechers, the brand also produces an array of dress shoes, boots and sandals in sizes and styles to meet the demands of even the most fashionable men, women and children. It is worth remembering that one of the keys to the success of the Skechers brand is their flexibility – the most popular shoes are available in a number of materials, colours and even styles. So if you really wanted a purple pair, keep looking and odds are you’ll find one.
