This general type of Skechers shoes (not always this specific model though) has been my go-to for years and years as a basic casual shoe. I wear them around with jeans when out running errands and doing normal daily stuff, plus to the office sometimes. I probably have four of five pairs of casual Skechers in my closet, some two, three or four years old. I tend to buy a new pair when I see a deal and just add them to the rotation for when one is worn out. The Vassell model seems the same as the others, sturdy and supportive with room to accommodate an orthotic. I imagine Ill have them for years.
