My wife needed a pair of these "ugly style" shoes for ankle support, as she was walking in her stroke rehabilitation.  She's resisted the clunky style, but needing better support for walking, she was really pleased to see more style with the bright colors now available.  They fit beautifully, as we ordered them 1/2 size larger to cover the fact that she now needs better support and has some circulation problems.  Often, she needs to take her shoes off toward evening, but these have been comfortable enough to stay on until she goes to bed.
We have already ordered another pair that are just as flashy, even though we couldn't find Skechers.  They are her preferred brand, as she has 6 more pair on non-clunky styles.
