I am a BIG Skechers buyer, as their quality and workmanship is top-notch.  However, I really DISLIKE this new model with the movable 'ball' on the bottom of the shoe.  They are ONLY good if your child wants to stand in one place and TWIRL.  However, they border on 'dangerous' if you have an active child who wants to run around an play...  As you are running, the ball moves around, and can cause a child to fall.  I had to put DUCT TAPE over the ball, so that it would not move any more!  So - sadly - do not recommend these, even though I am a huge Skechers-brand fan!  :(
