I bought these for my wife. She wanted them for something fun to kick around in and do errands with. Easy to slip on and off. She loves them. First of all I have Amazon Prime and the shoes where delivered in what seemed like a heartbeat. Packed nicely in there box with no wasted packing material. My wife has small feat and she is delicate so many shoes hurt her feet. She slipped on these sketchers and had no complaints at all. There was no running on the back of her ankle. She felt sure footed and cushioned. We are thinking of getting another pair so that she can rotate them out for longer wear.
