I'm giving these 5 stars because one is getting so much shoe for the money; I would have gladly paid more if the shoes were more ...substantial(?).  Fortunately, it's a Sketcher, and their shoes are usually well made.  The shoe is extremely light, very comfortable and I couldn't imagine better impact resistance.  I wouldn't expect to get years and years of heavy use out of them, but I only intend to wear them for around-town errands.
