These Sketcher shoes/sneaker, are super comfortable, and stylish. It doesn't take long to break them in, and they feel like you are wearing slippers. That being said, I would not recommend these for long distance walks. But these shoes are not meant for that anyway. I wear them for short trips to the mall, shopping, amusement parks. But mostly I buy them for when I go biking. They are perfect for this sport. I get more compliments on these shoes, than any other in my wardrobe. Every time that I wear them, someone will ask me where I bought them. I sure hope that they don't discontinue this style. Because they are the only cute ones out there! I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!
