Anyone have these? I was going to get the Skecher Shape Ups but the few reviews I've read are not good. They say they crack on the outside and wear out quickly. The Avia reviews are better but I've only seen a couple of those too.
The shoes are expensive $79.99 for Avia, $90-120 for Skechers so I want to make sure they are good shoes. I do a lot of exercise walking and need shoes that will last. My current pair are a brand called Montrail which I bought for $9.99 on a one day special at the Bass outlet store at least two years ago but are wearing out. They were great for $9.99 but I can't find that same style and the good ones are at least as expensive as the Avia.
I've had Avia shoes before and they were very well made.
If any of you have them I'd appreciate your input.

TIA!

I have had the Sketchers Shape Ups for 2 months and I have not had any problems. In fact, I have two pairs, one for work and a tennis shoe type. I had torn cartilage repaired on Dec. 2 and started wearing them after the surgery. I have flat feet and verioces veins(sp). I do not have to wear my lifts and my legs do not hurt with the Shape Ups. I am a teacher so I am on my feet all the time.

Thanks for your input. I wonder if they just wear out faster for people who are actually walking distances every day. My sister is a hairdresser who wears the Mary Jane style of Skecher Shape Ups. She said they are comfortable however she doesn't use them for walking per se. If I knew they would guarantee them for a certain amount of months or miles I would be more likely to consider them. I haven't ordered yet so I'll have to get some more input and think about it for a while.

I have the Reebok Easy Tones. I haven't worn them too much yet, but I like them. They feel kinda funny when you first put them on, but then I forget that they're different and they feel just like regular tennis shoes.
