I bought a pair of white sketchers elite a year ago and they were great! I bought this pair thinking it would be a good replacement for my now falling apart shoes. I have never seen such a cheap pair of shoes with memory foam in them. The soles ARE NOT RUBBER! They are more like Styrofoam! I literally just opened them and put them on and am so upset. This is now my second pair of shoes in a week that I have bought that did not work! If I can return them they will be sent back immediately.
