I love Sketchers.  Love them.  When they say "brand loyal" that would be me.
However, these I don't like and I would have returned them if my husband hadn't of thrown out the box.

First - in all of the Sketchers shoes I own, they are always size 8.  I don't even have to think about it - I'm an 8.  In these shoes, the left fit perfect, but the right was like a 7.5.  I was so dumbfounded by the size difference that I actually looked to make sure it still said 8.

Second - the seam from the top to the side rubs on your foot.  I've tried stretching them out, wearing socks, it still rubs.

As for support, there isn't much so I don't know what the big deal is with them being for walking (which is why I bought them).  Darn shame.
