text: I was excited to get these shoes.  There were so many positive reviews.  I have not had the great experience others have had. Within an hour the ball of my foot and my toes are in extreme pain. I work for hours on a very hard concrete floor.  By the time my shift is done, I am in serious pain.  I know that skechers have an excellent reputation and many people I know personally have had a completely different experience from mine with their skechers.
