I LOVE these shoes! I had them several years ago for my first job as a floor nurse and swore by them! Ever since Ive owned a pair of these, Ive struggled to find any other tennis shoes I liked. Sketchers really did themselves a disservice by changing the style and stopping this one. The best feature about this show that you won't find in the newer models is the heel/back of the shoe. This one actually comes up high enough to feel like its cradling the heel/ankle area whereas the newer versions feel like they will slip off with every step. A deeper heel box is the key to sneaker nirvana!
