I really do like these Skechers, especially the supporting padding in the bottom of the shoe.  I have some wonky feet and my feet do not hurt wearing these shoes! That is saying a great deal, considering I am a teacher, on her feet all day, constantly seeking support and comfort, especially for one of my feet which has a "downward facing metatarsal;" other shoes leave the ball of that foot in great pain, but not this one! I have worn them in some rough circumstances, including horseback riding, and walking in a river as my "beach shoes" and they came out looking great - did not lose any of the integrity of the padding or the color!  This particular size is just a bit roomy, but it makes them comfortable when wearing low-cut socks.  I recently found a half-size smaller and think I'll like them better, but time will tell.  The ONLY reason I dropped a star is that there is no way to tighten up the shoes in the event I don't want to wear socks.  Otherwise, this is a great little lightweight, but sturdy, shoe!
