My feet suffer from arthritis & nerve damage.  This makes for painful walking.  I discovered Skechers a year ago & they are my shoe of choice.  The padded sole enables me to walk almost pain free!  The doctors have recommended daily walking & with Sketchers I no longer dread the trips!  My 70 year-old feet laugh again when Mugsy (our pug) & I enjoy our twice daily outing. I highly recommend this shoe for "old" AND "young" feet!
