text: When I snagged these on a lightning deal, I had high hopes they would be as good as my beloved Sketchers...Um...well.. Don't get me wrong...they aren't BAD, they just aren't GREAT.<br />What is good about them:<br />Stylish - They are a cute shoe.  The woven material is different and has a nice stretch<br />Pretty comfortable - When you first put them on they do have that, &#34;ahhhhh&#34; factor which lulls you into thinking your feet will have the same reaction after several hours but...not so for me :(  At the end of the day I had slightly achy feet - not like the pain from, oh..4 inch spike heels, but discomfort<br />Decent quality - Pretty well made although I notice that the black wedge sides are made from that type of material that, after some wear, looks like peeling skin from a sunburn.  So far not bad, but then I've only worn them a few times.  We'll see how they wear<br />Pretty cushy insole - Not like thick, memory foam of higher end shoes but decent.  I still always tend to add a medium weight comfort insole to all of my shoes for extra support.<br />Sizing is a bit on the large side - I always order a half size up to be able to fit an extra insole and for room in the toe box but these ran big.  I ended up having to exchange them for the next size down which fit perfect<br />All in all, these are a cute shoe, reasonable price, reasonable comfort but still don't hit the mark for an all day, happy feet Sketchers sort of experience.<br />I will keep them in spite of their short comings and wear them for shorter durations only because they are a bit dressier than the average casual shoe.
