I really like this shoe. I used to have sketchers and I've always liked their quality and price. What I love about this shoe is the lack of laces. They are, but this is a group that works in a pattern similar to shoelaces but in an infinity shape. So they're almost like slip-ons. I wear slippers at home and I like that they don't slip. This factor is what I like best about running shoes. I've been wearing them almost every day since I got them and they feel great all day long. The memory foam midsole also helps ensure these shoes are comfortable and will stand up to a long day or outing.
