I usually avoid buying shoes online. With my feet I have to see them up close in the store, try them on and walk through the store first to make sure they are comfortable. I saw these Skechers online and took a leap of faith. I figured worst case scenario they wouldn't fit and I'd send them back. Well, it's been a few weeks and I wear them every day, and to paraphrase an SNL character, they're like OIL! The most comfortable shoes I've bought in years. I wear them twice a day: in the morning I walk to the train station for work, when I get to the office I put on a pair of dress shoes and in the evening when I come home I put on Skechers again. If I could wear them to the office all day, trust me I would! Winter weather is about to hit my town and I'll probably have to find heavier shoes that will keep my feet warm and dry, but for now I'm loving these!
