The Skechers were 1/3 the price listed on other Internet sites. The shoes were in a plain brown box, not the manufacturer's box. Each shoe had the original paper form inside to keep the shape, and the extra laces were included. The shoes are new. This is my fourth pair of Skechers. I walk 3 miles each day for exercise and have found Skechers to be very comfortable and durable. Shipping time was exactly as estimated. This was a good transaction.
