I'll start by saying that I have a lot of sketchers. I think about 10 pairs and wear them all. I love the brand for convenience, right sizes and quality at a bargain price. However. Bought these identical shoes 3 years ago. They were great and are still in the game. This new pair is listed as black. You are not black. they are grey. Very unusual for this brand. Also, due to the cheaper sole, they are lighter and have less rise on the sides than I compare them to my original pair. They are NOT as relaxed as advertised. They are definitely inferior in quality to what I previously bought. Worst of all is the problematic finish, which is like your kid rubbing paint into their shoes with their finger. He looks more crippled than upset. I quickly decided they would be too cumbersome to wear anywhere. Anyway, I'll send them back tomorrow. I have ordered a second pair of Skechers Men's Relaxed Fit Creton Moseco Moccasins here from Revain. For $8 you get a great sketcher. Check out ratings and reviews. There is no comparison in terms of quality, fit and finish and great looks. Go through these. You get what you pay for! Thank you later for the honest review.
