All the great things about this shoe are not worth the money of getting shoes that fall apart after the first few weeks of wear. My shoes have de-laminated on 2 different occasions. I bought a pair last year that did the same thing. I looked for alternative shoes, but couldn't find any fitting the way I liked. I took a chance and bought another pair hoping they would be better now. After numerous attempts to get SKECHERS to do something about the problem, I decided to give up on them. After 15 years of buying SKECHERS shoes, I'm giving them up. I hate the quality of theses shoes!
