Skechers are the only brand that has a sandal that feels comfortable to me. I also own several styles of their tennis shoes. This platform thong sandal has a softer cushioned bed that allows me to be on my feet without foot or back pain & are stylish. I found the 1st pair (this style but in black) at a resort & just loved them. I was thrilled to find them on Amazon in white. I may order the gold as well.
