Several years ago, Skechers had a similar shoe in a lighter blue. I bought my teenage daughter a pair. She had worn them for quite a while and then I started wearing them. I wore them for at least 5 years! These shoes lasted 10 years between the two of us and stayed new looking! I searched and searched for another but they had been discontinued. I am so happy that Skechers has come out with another!!! Thanks to AMAZON for the EMAIL informing me!!!!!!These shoes are fantastic... I cannot say enough positive things about them!!!!!
