I've only had these shoes 2 Β½ months. They showed no unusual wear other than normal walking. I work in a school so I walk on tiled floors most of the time. I used to always buy a new scale, but because of the price I went with Skechers. I realized that this is a big mistake! I guess it's too late to return them so hopefully Skechers will support their products. I just checked it out and thank goodness I have until the 25th to return these shoes! However, this causes a problem as I only have one pair of tennis shoes so have to go barefoot until replacements arrive. No, I could not return these shoes. I must have spoken too soon.
