This is my first time buying a pair of Skechers. I've heard other people talk about how comfortable they are and since these got good reviews and looked cute, I decided to give them a try. They aren't as cute in person as they are in the picture. I was a little disappointed, but I needed a good summer walking shoe and the mesh on these definitely make them cool without exposing the foot. Today was my first day wearing them and they rubbed on the tops of both of my pinky toes. I had to stop at a store to buy bandaids to cover my toes. I continued shopping and noticed my feet getting tired. By the end of my shopping trip, I was getting agitated with people not moving out of my way fast enough so I could get to a seat, any seat, to rest my tired feet LOL. I realized that the soles just aren't as shock absorbent as I need them to be- and this is coming from someone who can wear Converse Chuck Taylor's for hours and hours on end, so I'm not exaggerating when I call these Skechers flat. It's pretty much like wearing flexible dress shoes, not sneakers. By the time I got home, my feet were throbbing. I wouldn't recommend these for walking around.
