Review on Skechers CUSHION 54450 Athletic Sneakers - Black Charcoal Men's Shoes by Abidzar Olivas

A few points of criticism: * The sole of the shoe is not fully protected by the black hard rubber. This reduces durability. As many have criticized the shoes do not last long (8 months or less) and after receiving the shoes I can see that the bottom of the shoe has exposed foam. Not sure why. Maybe Sketcher thinks they won't sell as many shoes if they last long.* The tongue (the piece of protective material between the laces and your feet) is too thin and flimsy. It folds too easily and causes discomfort. I'm not sure why Sketcher wants to save money here.
