I STUMBLED UPON THESE SNEAKERS THE 1ST TIME BY ACCIDENT DUE TO THEIR SIMILARITY TO ANOTHER BRAND. THEY DON'T SQUEEK ON WOOD FLOORS AND THAT IS A PLUS W/5 FRAIDY CATS RUNNING AROUND.THEY ARE ALSO VERY COMFORTABLE AND THERE IS AMPLE TOE ROOM PLUS THEY LAUNDER WELL. THEY ARE ALSO NOT CLUNKY FEELING LIKE A LOT OF WALKING SHOES ARE. THEY WERE PRICED GREAT AND I ALSO REC'D FREE SUPER SAVER SHIPPING AT AMAZON.COM WHICH WAS A PLUS!
