I've been wearing a pair of Sketchers for about a year and find them very comfortable. They are well made and I am getting a lot of life out of them. I'd buy them again, but not at list price. I bought the pair I'm wearing now from an overstock outfit. I'll do the same when it is time to replace them.

I already had a kind of rolling heel-to-toe walking motion, so they didn't do anything for me in a fitness sense. I didn't really expect them to. I know other people who found themselves with serious calf pains after the first day of walking in them, so I guess there is something to the claim of shoe design forcing you to use your leg muscles in a particular way. I thought the fitness claims were probably exaggerated, so I'm not surprised by the lawsuit. I'm also not interested in it. As with guns, I bought the shoe and not the story.

I had a surprise when I opened the box. The shoes came with an instruction DVD. For real? An instruction manual for shoes? Give me a break.
