This is my second pair of Sketcher shoes.  The first pair spoiled me, I guess.  They fit very well right out of the box and I was walking around all over the place with no problems at all.  These new shoes fit just okay.  They are tight around the heel and will shortly wear a blister if I continue to try to wear them without a lot of break-in time.  That's unusual for a pair of Sketchers I understand.  The length is fine and the gel support is great.  I think the problem might be with the expansion web on both sides of the shoe.  They don't seem to be very flexible and giving.  The shoes are hard to get on, but once they are on, they seem to fit until I walked around a little and my upper heels began to holler.  I'm not sure I'll keep them, as I may have just gotten a lemon, but I'll try them again and see if I can work with the expansion web a bit.  If not, they go back.  Kind of disappointing.
