I have been trying to replace my other biker Skecher shoes that had an interwoven design using black elastic. These are cute and pretty comfortable, but why is Skechers putting color on them? I would love these shoes if they were 100% black (I knew they had a blue color before I ordered, so I wasn't in shock). Also,you might want to consider ordering a 1/2 size larger because they do fit snugger in your regular size.
