I tried a pair of these on at DSW and fell in love. However, I have wide feet and these were just a bit too narrow so I didn't purchase. I looked on Amazon and saw these were available in 8W. When i recieved them I immediately noticed the box said standard width, so the size description was wrong online. No big deal, I frequently fall in love with shoes that don't fit me. However I immediately noticed that the soles were rock hard in front, not the soft memory foam advertised on the box or found on the pair I tried in store earlier that day. The heels were soft but halfway through they seemed like they were condensed with glue or something. I find it highly unlikely that they are knockoffs due to the seller and packaging. After reading other similar reviews I find it more likely that these are ones that had manufacturing errors and didn't pass quality control. Sketchers may just be selling this lower quality stock online rather than offloading to a discount store. Still a beautiful shoe and more comfortable than other low quality products, be informed before you purchase.
