I get alot of compliments when I wear these shoes because the &#34;hot pink&#34; which is nearly florescent really stands out and compliments the navy blue color very well.  When I put my feet into these shoes, you can almost hear them give an audible sigh of ecstasy as the memory foam is definitely comfortable.  So why only 3 stars?<br /><br />Durability.  I have been wearing these shoes for just over two months now.  I noticed within the first 3-4 weeks that the sole was already beginning to wear down.  It is especially noticeable under the ball of the foot where the tread is completely gone. (see picture) Also, the pink  color between the sole and navy material is pealing or wearing off.  I don't do alot of walking or hard labor while wearing these shoes.  the only real outside work I've done wearing them is mowing the lawn a couple of times.  They should look nearly new, but they don't.<br /><br />I occasionally exercise inside by walking laps in a large room with low pile carpeted.  I tried to do this wearing these shoes and found that after just 15-20 minutes, the balls of my feet hurt so bad that I had to remove the shoes and continue walking in my socks.  Not only did the memory foam fail to provide any cushioning for my feet, but these shoes actually caused extreme discomfort for this type of use.<br /><br />To sum it up, the shoes are nice looking and comfortable as long as you only wear them for minimal activity.  If you are looking for a shoe that will be comfortable for spending alot of time on your feet or for exorcizing, I would recommend that you find another option.<br /><br />(I did not purchased these shoes from Amazon but from a local store on clearance sale.)<br />(Please note that I do like the Sketchers brand and my previous pair, which did not have memory foam or pretty colors, lasted several years, so it may just be problem with this model.)
