All I can say is that I loved these sandals (don't know why this particular pair is called a 'sneaker').  They are comfortable, cushiony and just plain great.  I am grateful that I decided to wait before purchasing an expensive pair of MBT because I trust Skechers and am completely sold on their Shape Up series.  My heel spurs are basically healed and I do not experience the pain I did in the past.  Hope they come out with even more styles.
