You just can't go wrong with these fitness sneakers. I have three pairs of the oldies and I've worned them at the hospital and they're the only ones that can take the shift and beyond without killing me or my feet or my back. The only problem I saw in the oldies is the sole which is not so safe on wet surfaces and that's always a problem in the hospital. Skechers made this sole at least for the health care providers and that's all it was needed, not to mention the closing and full protection for your feet. I can't ask for more!!!
