Verdict

The Skechers Work Relaxed Fit Soft Stride is a solid performer — a composite toe athletic scoring 82/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 360g, it is on the heavier side for a composite toe athletic. The 24mm heel stack — a minimal stack — delivers a medium-firm ride at 36 HC, returning 46% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the Work Relaxed Fit Soft Stride runs on a mid 8mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 16mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 104mm — extra-wide, suited to broad or bunion-prone feet — and the upper is available in D/2E widths. Comfortable immediately. Memory foam molds to foot. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for light industry, retail, hospitality, budget shoppers, all-day comfort, and performs less well for heavy construction or outdoor rough terrain.
