That rating for this style of their brand alone. I have never had the disappointment I got from Sketchers- work-max-cushioning shoes just short of $100.00. I have been a loyal customer since before the internet existed. There is a design flaw somewhere or? I have never had a pair of shoes support in such an awkward way. After wearing it in the house for bout an hour, it felt similar to shin splints. Very painful to keep walking forward. This is not the quality Sketchers spoiled us with. I was so happy to finally receive them, having them turn out to worst pair ever bought.
