Did you know Sketchers used to be LA Gear ?

[That Lady in PA]

I didn't say they merged I said the person who started and owned LA gear... is the same person who started Skechers...

Watch the video

What??
I never said that about you.
Take a closer look and see that I quoted another poster who claimed... " Skechers originally was LA Gear."

I never knew that. I wore Skechers brand work shoes for a very long time. Comfortable and non slip. Lately, the quality has gone down. Can't break them in because they are using plastic materials.

LA Gear has a very limited selection, aimed at the very young market. LA GEAR
My wife likes Skechers and has several pair. I've been buying Under Armour shoes and active wear in recent years.

I love Under Armour. They are well made, very good quality products. Even the simple cotton socks are durable and still good after 5 years of use.

Oh no they've not gone down in quality here, I buy them all the time, in fact just about a pair 2 days ago and the same pair again today... perhaps it's a certain style, I know there's a couple of styles of skechers I'm not keen on..

a lot of things in the US are going downhill in quality because of all the plastic. it's a shame.

..and yet because they're now finding actualy millions of particles in the human bloodtsream and organs, we're supposed to be cutting back hugely in the use of plastics.. it's a scourge on society..

yes I have a couple of mesh front on my trainers, I'm not keen on those... I do have several pairs of leather.....

It did cross my mind that the white trainer boots I just bought were not the real deal because they were only £25 and they're £90 on the skecher website.. but in fact they really are genuine, . despite having come through Amazon come in the genuine skecher box, plus the genuine skecher outer cardboard box.. compete with tissue protecting the shoes. They've come from via France.. all for £25... and now reduced again to £20 .. incredible bargain...
