I'd say I'm a fan of Skechers shoes, but sometimes I wonder why. Overall this is a good pair of shoes and I'm happy with them, but there are certain pros and cons. Pros: The look is a nice shoe and I certainly have no problem wearing it. Comfort - in addition to the foot pads. (see below) This is a comfortable shoe that fits very well. I use them for hiking and playing hockey. Cons: Foot Padding - Skechers also have memory foam shoes which are very comfortable. Not this particular shoe. Wear. If you do a lot of running, walking or starting/stopping in these shoes, the bottom of the shoe will wear down the sides fairly quickly. I tear off pieces and throw them away all the time. They're all really good for the price, but they're certainly not perfect.
