Skechers had been the only shoe I could wear for the past 7 years. I walk between 7-8 miles a night at my job, and they USED to be the only shoe I could wear that didn't feel like a baseball bat had been banging on my feet all night. I always keep a back up because unfortunately I wear them out in about 6 months. This past year since August, I had a new pair, and purchased my back up. My feet has gradually become more and more painful, and then I noticed a corn on the outer part of both feet mid sole. I ended up changing into my newest pair, and lo and behold, they are fitting me the same. I still older shoes that I've kept for doing yard work. I started studying the older shoes vs the newer one. The newer ones they have making this past year has a more rigid rubber sole around the side, causing my feet to be pressing on top of that rigid rubber side piece, which in turn has caused these painful sores. I am so disappointed in these shoes now. Should of never changed the mold, or materials. I have the older versions of proof that the material is different and less flexible. Sorry to say, I will not be ordering these again
