These shoes hurt my feet. They don't seem as comfortable as my other skechers. They say they are leather but don't seem to be real leather. Leather is normally soft but these shoes are hard and they black even has a greyish tone. So preavious reviewers think these are knock offs. I don't know they seem like real sketchers. maybe they are just an older overstock version. My other pair is relaxed and are much more comfortable. After a few days of wear they are hurting my feet. cheap made in china stuff that will find its way to the donation bin.
