text: These are not the original &#34;Skechers Sport&#34;.  The differences are not obvious until you put the shoes on and wear them for a few minutes.  The arch support that caused me to love the shoe in the first place is GONE!  The inner sole is just like any other shoe now, FLAT.  The support all the way around is lacking and my ankle is allowed to roll inward just like it does in cheap shoes.  If they ever bring back the original shoes I will buy more but for now will probably buy New Balance as they seem to come the closest to the original &#34;Skechers Sport&#34;.  I have to keep this pair as I wore them to work and they will probably not allow me to return them because I dismantled them and put in an innersole from an old pair of &#34;Sports&#34; that had split along the sole after a couple of months of wear; even so they are not as good.  I suppose that should have been my clue that they were making the shoe cost them less and at the same time charging more for them.  Bad  move.
