I visited someone in a large assisted living facility over the course of a year and I noticed that it seemed most residents were wearing Sketchers. I have worn Sketchers casually but would not walk my daily 1 hour in those. They were not stable, the midsole was easily bendable, not thick, strong or non-slip enough for safe outside daily walking. Around town doing errands they were fine.

I think I have seen advertisements for Sketchers saying that now some of their shoes are podiatrist certified for support. Still, for walking you want to make sure the shoes you wear are approved by your podiatrist if there's any question. Otherwise stick to the major brands that have shoes that are specially made for walking, like Brooks and Saucony. Those brands are both recommended by podiatrist.
