This Is  my fourth or fifth pair of these type of Sketchers and I love them.  The shoes are fine for every day casual wear and stylish enough to wear out to dinner.  I wear them with and without socks and throw them in the washing machine if the get soiled.  I wear them so much I usually only get about a year out of a pair, but doe the cost, I just have to buy another.  Unfortunately this particular style isn't in the Sketchers store anymore so I resort to getting them on line.  Hope they don't run out of them here!
