I have several pairs of Skecher's. They make very good shoes. I've had two pairs of the Afterburn style and like them very much. I have worn the same size all of my adult life. This particular pair of shoes just seem to be smaller all around than what I have experienced in the past. Their appearance and workmanship is what I expected from Skecher's -- Good Quality.They are just smaller than I expected so unfortunately, I am returning them.
