I love sketchers and would recommend them to anyone that wants a bit more exercise then they usually get. They work! The boots are a bit harder to get use to because of the heel being covered completely - I got a blister the first time I wore them but soon found out how to work around that. Amazon is the best place to purchase sketchers at an affordable price - I'm skimpy when it comes to buying shoes but this is like buying shoes and a membership at the gym.
