I do not know why, I have several pairs in different styles and colours and have worn Skechers for years, for work and for leisure, but I cannot wear these. I use one from an old dumb bell stand . Perfect for my home gym. The only thing is that, along with this extra-softness you get a SUPER-stretchy quality that might bother some. Theres no creaking as you put them on or adjust them, and I appreciate the braided cable which should survive some wear. They’re extremely tight and the design falls into the shoe when you’re putting it on. Update 19 Apr 2021 - I was looking up a link to this book to forward it to another person and saw my review.
