I'm sure as of this writing, everybody who has bought a pair here did so as a Gold Box deal last week. For that price ($35), I cant imagine getting better shoes. They are running shoes, but I mostly use them for walking, lol. As with most Skecher running shoes I've bought in the past, these have a slight angle that helps with pronating, which most Americans at least, tend to do (walking with feet pointing out rather than forward). They are super bouncy on the inside, which is to say, they have lots of cushion. The blue and orange pair I bought also looks really nice IMO, and the addition of an extra set of laces (one white, one blue) is a nice added bonus. Anyway, I've worn them for two days now and am quite happy with them. For me, these shoes tend to last about 6 months with daily wear or longer if you own many pairs of shoes and alternate. If this changes, I will update this review.
