As I've gotten older, my feet have gotten wider, only in the heel and not in the toes. This limits the options available in my size. I didn't try the Sketchers Go-Run because I train hard, but because I run and play golf. Sneakers suit me better than hiking shoes OR golf shoes. I have two pairs of these which are suitable for almost anything except weddings and funerals, neither of which require long standing. Possibly the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. .
