Comfortable for long walks and easy to clean
Got this pair of shoes for workouts after my brother recommended Skechers Shape-Ups. He has been wearing them for quite a while now for long walks. I am suffering from plantar fasciitis and the rubber soles really helps to ease the pain under the heel. This is a much affordable alterntive to other shoes sold in the market for my condition. It's also easy to clean!

I'm A Walking Fool
I am a person who walks at least 8 miles a day for exercise. Of course I am retired, so I have ample time to walk 2-2 1/2 hours a day. My right foot is arthritic and I also have a bunion. Because of this, I use running shows for my exercise routine because of the support and comfort they provide.When I seen and read about Skechers, I figured I would give them a try. But at a retail price of $115.00, there was no way I would invest that kind of money into a walking a show. However, I found these shoes on Amazon; and with all the discounts, I got them for between 35-40% off. So I decided to take a chance.When I first laced up my new Skechers and took my first few steps, I noticed a difference right away. You have to go slow with these shoes until you can get use to a new way of walking. You will need acquaint yourself with a new sense of balance because of the design and height of the sole. The weight of the shoe is also a factor. Once you get past that, you will notice that...

Skechers versus the Avia 9997s
I own these shoes and also a new pair of Avia 9997 shoes and compare them here. The Skechers have a soft "Kinetic Wedge" that extends from the heel to the front of the shoe so the rolling effect is very even from the heel to the front. The Avia has a distinct rocking point that is midway of the sole, pretty much under the arch.The other thing about the Avia shoes is that they have a tough flexible plastic "energy wedge" [my term] that is embedded in the heel. These are supposed to absorb the heel-strike energy and then help the heel rebound by returning the energy as the heels lift off.Avia calls this it's "Shear Cantilever® System" and it may allow these shoes' heels to last longer than the Skechers because all the Skechers have is the outsole and then the pillow soft Kinetic Wedge. It's my impression that the softer Kinetic Wedge in the heel will break down faster than the tough-looking Avia Shear Cantilever system but this is just an impression...
