Easy to walk in, and finally I can stand up and walk without all the pain I usually have! I have spinal stenosis and can't stand straight. So I ordered a pair for me and a pair for my 29 year old daughter too. We both love them. She wore them to the hospital where she works and had no problems with them! And earlier in the morning I couldn't walk at all but opened up and put on my skecher shape ups and could walk!! These shoes will help me to walk more normal before I ever get my much needed spinal surgery. Buy them - you won't be sorry!!
