I bought these based on the great track record I've had with Skechers shoes.  They didn't quite live up to my expectations.

They aren't as supportive as other Skechers I've owned. They're not UN-comfortable, but I won't wear them if I'm gonna be on my feet all day. The "rubber" sole doesn't quite feel like rubber.  The only way I can describe it is that it's kinda like old dry rubber that's gotten hard and slick.  They don't really slip on smooth floors like tile, but they do slip a little on carpet. I'm not saying you're gonna break your neck in these things, but the soles of these shoes are a little strange to me.  I prefer a nice soft, grippy rubber sole.

The worst thing about these shoes is in the way the leather is stitched to the "rubber" sole. Water gets past this stitching very easily.  Now, I wasn't expecting them to be water proof, but if you step in a puddle half an inch deep for a split second, your socks are getting wet.  I have to really watch where I step during my short walk from the parking lot into the building at work on rainy days.  What a way to start the day, wet socks!  None of my other shoes do this.

All that aside, they aren't the worst shoes I've ever owned. They're just okay.
