These shoes were horrible. I specifically got them for a semester abroad, as I knew I'd be walking a lot (1.5-2 hours on a typical weekday, and nearly all day on the weekends). They offered no support and were very painful (from the beginning), so that I had to try not to limp while I walked, and it left red marks around my ankle. My knee-high boots, which had 2-inch heels and which I had bought for fashion rather than function, were much more comfortable, and I ended up wearing those instead for most days, except when it was too hot for boots. A friend of mine also bought these Sketchers shoes (a coincidence, not planned), and she had a similarly negative experience. She ended up having to buy new shoes after about a month, as these were hurting her feet and fell apart quickly. She said she was very disappointed in them and would never buy from Sketchers again, despite regularly buying from Sketchers in the past.

When my parents saw the condition these shoes were in after I wore them for only about a month, they made me throw them out. I had wanted to keep wearing them (with support added), because it seemed a waste of money to throw them away after so short a time, but my parents insisted that they were garbage and would damage my feet. My mom said my feet looked broken when I wore them, even with support.

Bottom line: These are uncomfortable, don't last long, and horrible for your feet. I absolutely do not recommend them and will never buy from Sketchers again.
