What owners single out
Fit issues emerge as the weakest aspect among buyers, echoing concerns about the shoe's comfort that video reviewers may have flagged.
In their words
“Imagine that they would be even more comfortable and they surprised me, they are worth it, of course they are.. I will be loyal to this brand from now on.”

“Got a taupe pair, pretty looking, but I couldn't wait to get them off. They squeeze your foot something awful, and I don't have a high arch or anything special going on with my feet. My sketchers are 100% more comfortable. They also don't look as good as in the photo with the knot of the laces.”
