I've been a long-time Sketchers wearer.  I bought two pair of these shoes over the course of a year.  I walk about 3 miles a day and find the shoes comfortable when new but there are two things that happened to both pair of shoes which cause me not to recommned their purchase.  I will not buy these shoes again.

The first problem is that after serveral months of wear the gel insoles in both pair of shoes ended up with holes where the pads of my feet just behind the toes ride in the shoe.  These holes in the insoles resulted in significant blistering on my feet.

The second problem is after a few months of use the laces become so long (stretched out) they drag on the ground and look like clown shoes.

I originally gave 5 stars on this item but I have to change my opinion after a 2-mile walk with this pair of shoes. This is one of the most comfortable sandals I ever wore. However, after walking with this shoes about mile I was getting blisters on the bottom of my feet. The sole is soft but when it gets wet with sweat it starts to wrinkle and stick to the bottom of the foot. Nice design but they used a wrong material for the sole. I do not recommend it if you want to go for a short walk or hike with this shoes.

I like these shoes. They are quite comfortable. However, the rubber band on the top can cause blisters on top of your foot if you wear it and walk around in it for a long time. I was traveling wearing these shoes and had to walk about 7 miles in a day (city walking) and I got painful blisters on top of my feet.

For normal daily wear, however, these shoes have been very comfortable and goes well with shorts in my opinion!

I really do love these shoes, this is my second pair but I have 2 issues that have gotten worse over time.  Ever since I got them, they have a very heavy leather smell, when I wear them and they warm up, the smell gets stronger.  When I take my shoes off under my desk, I can smell the shoes.  Then the second issue I have with these shoes is that they squeak when I walk, and it is very loud.  The squeak started happening in the last few weeks.  With both issues, I thought eventually it would go away but it has only gotten worse.  With the squeak and the smell I tried to return them but I have exceeded the amount of time I could return them, so I am stuck with them.  I will rethink buying Dansko shoes in the future as they are a very costly investment.

Gets really smelly after a a couple of days and hurt my feet after walking in them for a few hours.

I saw these were recommended by the Virginia Mason Medical Center Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Department, so I thought that I'd try them.

Without breaking them in, I took these on a trip and wore them all day for a week. I had no problem breaking them in. They were a bit stiff the first three days, but never caused me any pain or blisters and my legs felt great. On the fourth day, I could tell they were starting to shape to my feet. My wife thinks that they look old and clunky (like dead pig's noses?), but they are comfortable enough and my legs feel fine wearing them.

In the last week, I've found two problems:
1. I came home with very wet socks after walking in the rain, so they are not waterproof like the Rockport World Tour shoes that I've worn for years. After they dried, they squeaked for a while.
2. I notice that after I walk for an hour straight, after I take them off and wear just socks, I can feel hotspots (early blister signs) on the balls of my feet. I don't have this problem if I break up the walk into 15 minute chunks throughout the day.

The return window expired before this happened, so I'm stuck with them. I won't buy these again.

The shoes feel comfortable until I walked on them most of the day. I realized they are a little big in the heel. I will get one of those heel adjusters to take up more space and I'm sure they'll be fine. I like the fit and look of these shoes.

I own another (different) pair of Dr. Sholl's.  So, I was so excited to get these shoes and be able to wear them regularly to work.  My venture was short lived.  I bought two pairs of these at the end of May.  One pair that I don't wear regularly (the denim) are still in great shape, but the pair (beige) I wear on a regular basis, the insole is coming apart at the toe.  This may be due to the way I walk, I am not sure.  I wish they had made the insoles removable so you could at least replace them.  I did buy some insoles to place in them so it wouldn't feel as awkward, but it did end up filling up a lot of the shoe so they are a bit snug.

Not sure I would purchase this type of design again.  After this experience I would prefer buying their shoes were the insole is removable and changeable.  I gave them a four since my other pair have held up just fine and I do like them.

I've learned that European-made size 45 is perfect for me. These (made elsewhere and less expensive) may be a little large, but I expect my feet to swell slightly in the summer to make up for some of it. Also I have to break these in, unlike a pair I bought years ago that were softer and I could wear long-distance and all day right out of the box. I walked four miles today but don't know if I would wear them all day yet.  I considered my old ones the near-perfect shoe and may decide that these are good enough to purchase a second pair. I give them 4 stars but could change it to 5 later on.

While the fit for me was somewhat too large, I still loved these shoes.  They were comfortable, easy to put on and felt extremely good during walks.  My feet didn't hurt during or after walks, which was the one thing I needed.

I also wore these a lot over the course of 1 year.  We cleaned (meaning washed and dried) these a few times over this one year, and this is when I noticed that they don't respond well to cleaning.  But, if you're okay with a bit of ding, then it's okay.  I was, as it didn't bother me as I was using them for walking.

When I go for a walk my feet hurt. I had to put inserts in,it helped a little.

In spite of the fact that I ended up with shoes three sizes bigger than I usually wear and I had to return a pair I still really like the way they look.  Slip in a pair of arch supports if you are going to walk around for a mile or two.

I do a lot of walking (3-5 miles/day on average), so I'm happy to find a walking shoe that fits well & feels good.  It's got good cushioning and my feet feel good after I've worn them.  I'd recommend them.

I like the color and they are comfortable for relatively short walks, but for very long walks I've found it necessary to wear band-aids on the little toes...otherwise they'll develop blisters.

I bought my pair while visiting Hawaii three years ago after my new Havainas broke. Since then I have worn the pair close to 2-3 times a day mainly to walk my dog around the block. I live in Los Angeles so that's throughout the year. After all that abuse,  shockingly, I'm only seeing very little wear. At this point I can only assume Crocs is using alien technology.

Overall, I would say that these shoes are very nice. As read in the other reviews, I can agree that these do take a while to break-in. For me with a good amount of walking throughout my day to day job, it took me about 3-4 weeks to break these in pretty good. To help, the sheepskin on the inside of the shoe is very comfortable.

The downside of these shoes, at least for me, is that I went through two pairs of these over the course of about 5 months. See the pictures I took of the soles of the shoes. With both pairs that I purchased (and both shoes), this happened. Not sure how or why, but the soles of these kept splitting on me. I made sure to take care of these shoes very well, polish and all. Also, during the time I have had them, I rarely wore them in the rain or even in snowy conditions. So the conditions that these shoes were under, wasn't very bad. Again, not sure how or why this happened, but it happened to me with two separate pairs of shoes. It seems like other people have had better luck than I, but I figured I would give my 0.02 since this has the potential to happen to you. This is the first time I have ever had this happen with a pair of dress shoes.

Out of the box, the shoe was not as comfortable as I was expecting when I walked.  But it seemed to fit and after a couple weeks is now very comfortable.
