I'm an avid birder so when I saw these in a magazine I was smitten. I'm a Sketchers Go Walk junkie! I thought I'd never get tennis shoes again because why have laces when you have slip ons. Then, I saw the flamingos on these and I had to have them! I get compliments wherever I go! Even my husband said they were cute and he's not one for bright colors. They are super duper comfy and I can spend the whole day walking in them.
