I love skaters, due to a condition called plantar fasciitis I've had painful heals and pads on my feet, I work as a mobile hairdresser and am on my feet all day. Wearing skaters solved my foot problem, these gray ones are so comfortable and more like shoes, as sneakers I have always taken shoes from size 6 1/2 to 7, but at Skechers I buy one size smaller so I choose 6 and them are perfect. I definitely recommend these
