I'm wondering if anyone has these and likes them? I have great running shoes that were picked out for me based on the way I walk and such at a running store, but I need something comfortable to walk in, like the kind of walking you might do on vacation.

Aside from my running shoes, I tend to wear cheap shoes that look good, and end up killing my feet. When we go on vacation and do a lot of walking, I am always in pain that night because I wire flip flops or something stupid like that.

But I hate the bulkiness of most athletic shoes and I often feel like they don't go with what I am wearing, especially capri's. I need a shoe that is kind of slender and lightweight, and will go with regular clothes (not just work out gear) that will be comfortable and support my feet when we do a lot of walking, any recommendations?

    I own a pair of skechers shape-ups & LOVE them. You do have to break them (don't plan on running a 5K in them) in the first few times you wear them, but after that they are GREAT. You do need to get used to them, because you will notice that you are a little off balance the first few times of wearing them until you get used to it.
    I found them very comfortable to wear even for just walking around the house (I am a stay-at-home-mom) while cleaning. I felt the "burn" after just a little while & noticed my lower leg looked tighter after just a month of wearing them.
    I have not been able to wear them since having arch replacement surgery in June & will be checking with my doctor if I can ever wear them again.

    I wear these for work and anything where I have to look smart, they are really comfortable - a week after I bought them I went back and got another pair in a different colour. I walk several miles a day and they have worn pretty well. Also they have removable insoles - I have a bad bunion and this means I can wear the insoles the podiatrist recommends. There is a laceup version as well.

    hey, those are pretty cute! I notice the price is in pounds (I'm in the US), would the sizing be different as well? I am about a 8.5 or 9 in US sizes.
