I could take or leave these shoes. They are comfortable for about an hour of wearing them. I couldn't see my self going on a long walk in these. Going to a mall in them would be pushing it if you plan to really shop for a decent length of time. I think I would rather keep my plain tennis shoes and a good old fashion walk around the block. I'm actually going to give my pair to my mother who is very in love with her pair of Skechers. Maybe I will try them in a Wide width and see if that makes a difference in my opinion. I'll re-write my review if it changes.
