I bought these sneakers a ten years ago.  WORE THEM TO DEATH!!!  They now are showing that with holes on the sides, just under the Sketchers logo and the memory foam is not as comfy.  I do LOVE these sneakers though!  Helped in reshaping my short stumpy legs into a more defined silhouette over the first year I had them.  So glad that they are now available again!!!  Well worth the $135 that I paid back in 2008.  I wanted to purchase my second pair back in 2012 and they were "UNAVAILABLE".  Sad that they are $100 more in price though, so I'm going to have to re-think purchasing this particular style.  I'll look for a more budget friendly comparison.  This style is REALLY Comfortable.  Super Casual.  Does the job of a work out when you're running errands or on your feet all day!
