Skechers Synergy Trend Setter Review
When we talk about Skechers, what instantly comes to mind is their famous memory foam that means heaven for your feet. Thanks to this divine feature, Skechers managed to fascinate people of any age and working environment, from athletes to pregnant women and young mothers. Situated in Manhattan Beach, California, this American company was established by Robert Greenberg and his son Michael in 1992. Although the company was first launched in 1983, it only produced skate shoes and utility-style boots. Today, as the third largest athletic footwear brand in the United States, Skechers continues to make quality footwear that appeals to almost anybody.
One of the most popular models among trend-savvy customers is the Synergy Trend Setter. These comfortable gym shoes perform great in the gym. However, the stylish and casual look makes them perfect for walking, traveling, special occasions and work. This athletic, yet fashionable design features smooth leather and synthetic upper in a lace-up panel. In order to double the pleasure, Skechers not only incorporated comfort in the footbed, but they also added a padded tongue and collar for a more enjoyable ride. While the upper portion keeps your feet snug and secure, the rugged traction soles optimize traction for enhanced durability. According to reviewers, they are one of the most comfortable trainers for those who are standing on their feet all day long.

Outsole
The downside on this model, as reported by customers, is that the outsole traps rocks, twigs, and dirt inside the grooves. As some buyers have said, they have to clean the tread out after every use. When it comes to the sole being slippery, many wearers reported they are actually quite slippery on wet terrain, but they still love them for being one of the most comfortable sneakers they have ever worn.
Midsole
Upper
Comfort
This is definitely the type of sneaker you would like to have if you enjoy long workouts, walks or stand on your feet for long hours. A number of customers said that once the foam molded into their feet, they started hurting and felt hardly any support. However, adding inserts to your own liking may bring about improvement in this field.
Support
When it comes to support, Synergy Trend Setter provides the wearer with average support. Many customers that have high arches claimed that the low profile of the model didn’t give them the support they needed. However, the light weight of the design and the exceptional memory foam help promote decent support, and many wearers began experiencing less leg and back aches. Those customers with flat feet said that the Synergy Trend Setter was the first shoe that they didn’t need to buy insoles for. In addition to the features mentioned above, this style comes with both flexible outsole and midsole for even greater support.
Durability
Skechers shoes are specially made for marathon and professional runners and are durable up to 1000-1300 kilometers. After that, the grip of the outsole reduces. Since the Synergy Trend Setter is designed for casual wear, they can last up to 4 years. So, not only are they lightweight and more comfortable than any other brand, but they are also much more durable than other sports shoes.

Verdict
Because of its flexible design, you can enjoy the Trend Setter conforming to the shape of your foot while offering reliable support. The quick lacing system makes the proper fix easier by staying true from the first tread to the last. Most users love this model for its durability and comfort and the point that no matter how wet the shoe becomes the upper always feel very secure. The only drawback reported by customers was that this style comes available in only two colors, which was very disappointing to Skechers fans. They found this shoe to be so comfortable, that if it came in five colors, they would get all five. To sum up, with a cool look and superior comfort, the Skechers Synergy Trend Setter is certain to set some trends.
