Have a little bit of a &#34;flimbsy&#34; feel to them, but that doesn't make them junk.  We'll see how long they last.  Most Skechers my boys can wear for a yr+ (if they wouldn't out grow them.  LOL!)  LOVE the way they flex and they are so light, yet have great support in them!  Makes them a great running shoe which is why we chose them.  Nice option if you don't want to pay the $60+ for good running shoes yet.
