I really like skecher athletic sandals, but was disapointed when these arrived and I saw they were shape-up sandals.  I can not wear the shape-ups due to back problems.  I was so excited to get these because they come in such great colors. Amazon was great and let me return them for a refund.  If you want a great pair of athletic sandals made by skechers that are not shape-up try the Sun Fest style I have bought several pairs of those and they have lasted great unfortunatly they only come in black.
