My sister swears by New Blanace so I had to try them. I was pretty disappointed. I'm a die hard Sketchers fan. I wore them half the day on the first day and my feet were on fire the next day. They do not support the arch the way they should. I have plantars fasciitis and was almost unable to walk in the morning after. I will stick to Sketchers. However, these are very cute shoes. I love the colors.
