Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I wear my workout sneakers only for exercising, so I always have a pair of more lightweight "fashion" sneakers to wear around, mostly in the summer. My requirements are that the shoes be somewhat stylist, sturdy, and most important, comfortable, especially for walking. I loved these sneakers from the moment I first tried them on in the store! I'm not usually the type to buy a slip-on sneaker, but the fact that these do have laces (bungee-style, not tie) give them a unique look. Plus, they look really cute on--they come down a bit further on the top of the foot than a regular sneaker, but not so far as a flat/other type of shoe. I generally wear a size 8 1/2 in ALL of my shoes (both athletic and dress), and I found these sneakers to be true to size to me. However, they are labeled as "relaxed" fit, which means that they are a little more roomy in the toe box. This was absolutely perfect for me, as my toes tend to feel cramped in shoes (my foot is probably slightly wider than normal, but not so much so that I'd need a "wide" size). So, this shoe is definitely fashionable--I purchased the gray, which has cute mint green accents--but also extremely comfortable. In addition to the relaxed fit, it has a memory foam insole (removable), which makes every step very cushion-y. I have already worn these sneakers for several extended shopping trips and found them a pleasure; plus, it's so nice to be able to slip them on and off! I've generally always been happy with Sketchers, and I definitely would not hesitate to recommend these shoes.
