I love the Sketcher products because I have severe arthritis in both knees.  I have several pairs of the gym shoes, but these sandals allow me to dress up a little when I need to without the fear that I won't be able to walk by the end of the evening.  Thank you Sketchers!! I've lost ten pounds this year wearing sketchers everyday.  I teach fifth and sixth graders so I'm on my feet all day.  I believe I can teach until I'm eighty!
