I actually bought these shoes for my mom. She has a fake hip and a bad back, but she is still young and very active, so I wanted to find her a shoe that would be comfortable for walking and for her to wear at work on hard floors. They arrived yesterday, and I tried them on, walked around in em a little, to see how they feel. They feel like no other shoe I've ever experienced. Of course, my mother wears size 9, and I am a 7.5, so they did not fit me properly (the fit is perfect on her), but wow! They are so flexible and lightweight, I felt like I was wearing slippers, but not bulky, like slippers sometimes are. Also, they are silent. I walked around on the linoleum in the kitchen a bit, and not a squeak was heard. I could not believe the quality at this price! Personally, I don't care for the overall style/look of the shoe, or else I would not hesitate to buy a pair right now for myself. But, as I said, they were bought for mom. I think these will turn out to be exactly the shoe she was hoping for. Thank you, Skechers!
