I have dozens of shoes, but after you wear these, pretty hard to go back to anything else. They're a bit snug, but I really love Skechers with the air soles, pockets of air that make you feel like you're walking barefoot. Laces come up a bit higher than I'm used to. I don't use the top lace through holes and then they're fine. I have three pairs of the Autumn suede shoes from Skechers and wear them daily, but wanted something a little bit tougher for walking shoes. I think these might do the trick. Not quite as soft and pliable as the suede tops, but the air soles are there, so I think I'm good. Nice looking and very light weight. That's one of their best features after the air pocket soles.
