I love sketchers overall for their quality and comfort and my family and I have been wearing them almost exclusively for 10 years, however, I do have a problem with sizing with sketchers.  Their sizing tends to be very unpredictable.  I bought these in a whole size bigger than what my son is currently wearing, yet these were too tight.  Part of the reason is the style, perhaps, because the elastic straps are very tight and he can not get his foot in at all.  As well, I went to a sketchers outlet and they had a better model for about $10 cheaper, so I will continue to buy sketchers, but maybe not online, or if I do, buy a size larger than I would expect would fit.
