I like Sketchers because the size I need seems to always fit in the shoe stores. The problem is, my size (11.5 wide) is only available in local shoe stores in very limited varieties. For years I have been disappointed that the Sketchers I really liked were NEVER the size I needed. As a result, I always "settled" for something in my size that was the least ugly. No more!

PROS:
*Here you can pick out what you want, and if you know a certain size traditionally fits you, then it is safe to order it here.

*I find Sketchers to be a high quality, yet affordable choice in sneakers.

*This particular style looks very nice, even better than it looks in the photos on Amazon.

*No pesky salesperson asking if they "can help you" 5 or 6 times while you are in the store shopping. No, you can't help me if you don't stock anything I really like in my size.

*The price here is within a few dollars either way of what you would expect to pay anyways in the shoe store.

*This is the first pair of sneakers I have ever dared to order on-line. Nice to know it won't be the last.

CONS:
*There are none. My only concern was about fit, as of course you can't try these on first. But in this case, they fit perfectly.

Bottom Line: Save yourself time and aggravation. If you know what size fits you, a whole new world of styles you will not find locally, all of a sudden are made available. I wished I had started ordering my Sketchers here years ago.
