text: A disappointment for a hard core Skechers fan.  The real problem is the design.  The cut out tab above the heel actually cuts into your Achilles.  Several women have told me this. You could barely wear these shoes for 2 hours without a problem. Liked everything else about them though. Skechers must have listened because they have a redesign on the latest versions ( I think they are walk 3 or similar name).  I have not tried these yet because they are still PRETTY PRICEY!
