When you lose a lot of weight, it's difficult to change decades of bad posture. I thought these would be good because heavy, and former heavy people, seem to stand with their hips forward and tummy out.  When I lost weight I started wearing Earth Shoes because the lower heel forced me to stand up straight, but they weren't suitable for work.  I thought Skechers used the same principal and was excited to try them out.  They looked & felt great, but when I took a few steps, the spongy arch offered no support and they seemed to collaspe inward.  My ankles turned in and down, and I knew it was only a matter of steps before I sprained my ankle or back.  So, into the box and back to Amazon they went.

I may try a lace up style for walking, if they have a harder sole, but the Hydrate is wide and squishy.  I'm happy for anyone who finds them comfortable but they don't support the bones and tendons in my feet, and I don't wear orthodics.  I would suggest going to a store and trying different styles before buying.
