I wanted a shoe to wear on my walks, that would look right with dresses and skirts, and would be a neutral color to match all my outfits. This shoe  would have been perfect -- but Skechers, as much as I love them, drive me crazy with their mysterious and inconsistent sizing. With this shoe, a 6 1/2 (which normally fits me in Skechers) was too small and the 7 was too big. I am frequently wrestling with sizes in Skechers -- in a local Skechers store last week I found that every shoe I tried on fit best in a different size. Frustrating!  One more caveat: that high back on this shoe cut into the back of my ankle and would have been excruciating on a walk. But I don't know if this is because the shoes didn't fit me correctly, or if if this would be a problem anyway.
