text: Beware!  The soles of some of the Skecher shoes 'grab' the floor, causing you to stop suddenly and lose your balance.  The very first day I wore these, I was walking down the hallway in an institution and the sole of my right shoe stopped me dead in my tracks, and I fell hard on both knees.  These shoes are particularly dangerous for seniors.  Are they comfortable and nice-looking?  Absolutely, but not worth putting yourself in the hospital for.
