No because I wear t prescription orthotics and they will not fit inside sketchers. My ankles roll to the inside without my orthotics. I need the support of the high tops. When I was young it would bother me not having matching shoes now I just do not care. My next shoes willl have to be a tad bit larger to allow for the swelling of the neuropathy and lymphedem.
@cls1, @artemis1886, and all...I agree. Several years ago, I tossed all my shoes - either donating or garbage! Before that, I'd already done the same with my beautiful, stylish heels and or low-heeled shoes. I finally admitted I needed to walk, and couldn't do that without drastically different shoes.
I tried several companies. I settled on Sketchers because they have a slip-on non-laced shoe that almost looks attractive. I need a bit of beauty mixed with comfort and also some bling if possible. Sketchers provide all those needs.
I love the skimmer, I think they call them, in different types of soles and cushions. My instep is high, so no shoes that go far above the toe joints or I swell out of them. I can't tie laces due to arthritis in my hands and it's pretty uncomfortable anyway to have to get to them to tie. I love being able to slip into the shoe and go.
I have various colors, snake, red, sequin/star bling, white, and several different black pairs with slightly different designs and soles. I also have a pair of wonderfully comfortable Sketcher sandals. Living in Florida, it's vital to have comfortable, fun sandals for casual hot weather and/or beach wear. I expect the best comfort AND the fun colors and a touch of style!
Blessings on your foot journey. Elizabeth
