Rankings

  • The Skechers Haniger was crafted with cross-training in mind. This model features a leather upper with perforations to keep the inside cool. If a trainer with a softer upper is desired, check out the Skechers Flex Advantage 2.0 - The Happs.
  • For shock-absorption, the shoe uses a full-length durable midsole. It also features a Memory Foam insole that provides a comfortable footbed.
  • Lining the underside are hard-wearing rubber pads that offer traction on most surfaces.

The Skechers Haniger only comes in men’s sizes. It is true-to-size and is available in D - Medium and 2E - Wide width options. When purchasing, the smooth leather upper should be considered as it does not offer any stretch, possibly causing the fit to be too snug. Consumers are advised to try the shoe in person to acquire an agreeable fit.

The Skechers Haniger uses an exposed midsole for its outsole. Rubber reinforces some parts of the heel and forefoot areas. This compound is durable, flexible and grippy on most surfaces. It extends partially to the front to protect it from impact and abrasion.

A Memory Foam insole is placed inside the Skechers Haniger. This material contours to the shape of the person’s underfoot to deliver maximum comfort while also providing relief of pressure.

The full-length midsole used in this model is lightweight, flexible and durable. It reduces the force of impact to prevent pain and injuries in the lower extremities.

The Skechers Haniger utilizes a smooth leather for its upper. It has perforations in the forefoot and side panels to keep the inside of the unit well-ventilated. Synthetic overlays on the toe box, eyelets, and the sides protect against abrasion and impact, while also adding structure to the leather material.

A heel overlay panel secures the pull tab at the back of the shoe. This configuration also serves as an external clip which cups the heel and keeps it stable.

It employs a traditional lacing system with round laces to secure the foot inside the shoe. The top two eyelets have been reinforced with thermoplastic polyurethane to prevent the holes from stretching too much or tearing when tightening the laces. The padded tongue keeps the instep comfortable.

The plush collar keeps the ankle supported and prevent chafing. It serves to keep the back of the foot locked in place while in motion.

Lining the inside is a soft fabric. This feature delivers a pleasant in-shoe experience. It also allows the foot to easily and quickly slide in and out of the shoe.
