I love sketchers, so thought I was safe to purchase them online.  Bad choice.  I made the purchase based on good reviews.  The shoes are really cute, and have lots of support to them, but they are very uncomfortable.  They seem to run just a tiny bit small, so a larger size will not necessarily make them a better fit.  I am trying to break them in but it's going to take a long time, if at all.  Buy your shoes IN A STORE where you can try the feel and fit.  Sketchers are a good shoe, but this one was a bad choice for me.  I am $60.00 wiser.
