I like these slip ons now that I'm older. and bending down to tie your shoelaces isn't as easy as it used to be. The memory foam inside also allows me to not use prescription arch supports, which is nice. As a side note, my experience with Sketchers shows that the foam on the inside wears out before the outside of the shoe, so I'll probably wear them for a year until the inside starts to disintegrate (and/or smell) and then throw them away. to "garden shoes" before investing in another pair of Sketchers. I think this is probably my fifth pair of sketchers, so I guess I'm officially a fan.
