This is my first pair of Skechers in this casual style and I love them they are unbelievably comfortable, like soft, snug slippers. The first time I wore them, I went on a 3 km walk on a hot day and they were a dream it's the whole walking on clouds cliche, but it's true! I wear these everywhere, but they're especially suited for walking my dog : it's great that the soles are flexible and lightweight, because we walk over uneven, sloping grass or otherwise run at breakneck speed along the footpath (well, it's my 5 kg dog-who-thinks-she's-a-husky pulling me..).
I'd say these are true to size : my usual shoe size is 7.5 8 but I bought these in 8.5 as previous Skechers I had seemed slightly small, and I intended to wear these with soft terry insoles for sockless wear. Without insoles, I think 8 would have been the best size. With the insoles, the 8.5s are a perfect fit snug on your foot, but in a good way, and with the stretchy material, it basically molds to your foot. But importantly, it stretches as your foot swells when it's hot and does not feel restrictive, even at the band across the top. I also love how my narrow heels don't slip in these (my heels always slip in shoes I usually need to insert heel grips). With my other Skechers in the slip on biker style, my heels can slip and ankles feel unstable so I definitely prefer these.
The only issue I had was with a hard, sharp edge in one of the shoes from what feels like a poorly cut edge of the plastic support at the back of the shoe it was immediately noticeable but easily fixed by applying fabric sticking plaster over the troublesome spot. (Note sticking plaster works wonders for rough/sharp spots or stitches in shoesbut the trick is to stick it to your shoes, not your feet.)
So these are clearly a winner and I'll be getting a lot of use from them. If you intend wearing them without socks, I would definitely recommend getting terry insoles designed for sockless wear to absorb sweat and also deodorise them I don't think the scent in the original sole would be that pleasant after a while...
Thanks Amazon for the great price too at under $30 , I've just bought a second pair in another colour.

I love Skechers and I love the look of these. As soon as I left the house in these I knew it was going to be bad, but I had to catch a bus to work. I wore them on my commute to work, and changed into my work shoes, and then put them back on after the workday was over. I had to run errands after work, but they hurt so badly I went to the Payless that is about a 15 minute walk from my job. By the time I got there I had horrible blisters on the backs of my ankles.
I don't think the size was an issue, as I am usually a 9.5 and my feet fit fine in the shoes, they are just poorly constructed and awkward on your feet. Disappointing, but thankfully Amazon let me return them without any problems.

Honest reviews on Skechers Women's Skip Away Fashion Sneaker
I love these shoes. They are so easy to just slip on and go. Don't even have to use your hands to get them on. The only reason they don't recieve 5 stars is because the sole is so flexible that sometimes I find it flexing in ways that it shouldn't and it's caused me to slip and fall.
