I recently purchased a pair of sketchers shape-ups.  They are WONDERFUL.  So comfortable.  I was afraid in the beginning that I might be a little off balance --and therefore possible turn my ankle.  HOWEVER, it is the opposite.  They actually make you more stable because you learn to balance better.  I also have a problem with one of my toes that can actually make me limp in bare feet.  With these shoes, it must place the weight on the heel.  So, no problems with it at all.  I purchased 2 pairs ---and sandals from MBT.  Sketchers is coming out with some sandals in May and I can't wait.
