I've had sneakers that cost four times as much and some cost $15 less. They are as comfortable as any I have had. They appear to be well made and will likely last a long time. I have a pair of $30 Willson sneakers that I bought about ten years ago; I warned them almost every day and I will still wear them when I have to put on makeup. I hope these Skechers last as long. Did I mention these shoes are very comfortable?
