I've tried other Skechers sneaker models and was very satisfied, but then I found these that made me even happier! Adorable and almost a pleasure to wear (I have a bone spur (I'm 67) on my heel and sore knees and hips and this particular pair takes the pain away because they are darn comfortable, durable yet very light weight so VERY EASY and AMAZING to wear). wear especially with a "sightseeing hiking group" Tested at the Roman Forum and Colosseum, and the very challenging basalt streets of Pompeii literally "eaten" the shoes of other fellow travelers, great time! This year I'm buying an extra pair for an extended 16 day tour of the Greek islands which I've been told to wear comfortable and comfortable shoes no matter your age! Well ladies and gentlemen, don't search keep going! and not so casual) Wearing these puppies is just what you need. They are beautiful enough, I guarantee you will NOT feel out of place wherever you wear them. Most people think they are casual shoes which I honestly believe yes! UPDATE: 05/14/19. I loved these sneakers so much I bought another (and equally comfortable) pair in all black. They even look better than the blue one described in the original review! I hope this review was helpful?
