I do not believe I am writing a review crediting a new pair of sneakers for not only being the most comfortable pair I've ever owned, but they have noticeably made my stride flow with a smoother glide and balance and there has been less pain in my lower back that I have been selecting outfits so I can wear them daily.  I am looking forward to buying at least another pair of sneakers and trying out another style perhaps in their sandal so I can "live" in the luxury.  You really do need to order a 1/2 size larger than you normally wear and when I ordered mine, I read the reviews suggesting that and followed their advice.  It was a perfect fit with the 1/2 size larger and I hope Amazon places them on a sale like they did when I was tempted to try mine out because it really made my pocketbook smile.  So, with the price making my purse smile and shoes making me smile, these shoes are sure winners!  I can honestly say I have wanted to go out each evening and take a walk because my feet don't hurt and my back isn't slumping by the end of the day.  Thank you Sketchers for this fine design and quality shoe!
