I've been wearing Sketchers for a long time. Love the dress-casual look that works with a tie or with jeans (not together, come on this isn't 1989). These are as comfortable as most I've tried and I have a rather wide foot, so that can ba a challenge for me. I did have a problem with the black rubber that comes up from the sole onto the outside of the shoe. One one shoe it started to separate from the upper. A dab of superglue fixed it, but I should not have had to do that.
