I bought this pair of of shoes because I thought they looked similar to another pair of Skecher's that I've had for years and love. Unfortunately, when the shoes arrived, I could see that they were a lot different in design, stitching, laces, and just overall appearance. These just aren't very cute in my opinion. They look a lot like the old steel-toed Timberland boots to me...just very bland, boring, blah. I also hate the light stitching along the base of the shoes and the round laces, as those tend to come untied more frequently than flat laces. The fit and comfort are fine. I can't speak for longevity, I'm returning. :(

Note: If anyone from Skechers is monitoring these reviews, please make more Skechers designed like my original shoes and sell them here on Amazon. :)
