I purchased these as an alternative to the Skechers Tone-ups that I already owned.  These shoes are wonderfully light and much easier to wear everyday - not heavy and bulky like the Tone-ups.  Will be purchasing more - but note that they do run a tad smaller than usual - I ordered a 7 1/2 (which I normally wear) but should have gone with a size 8 (I ordered the 8s in the Tone-ups and they were a little too large).
