I run a lot. Very much. Therefore, I needed a pair of shoes again after my British Knights were completely destroyed after 3 months. A recommendation I then came up with the Sketchers! And so far I have to say: top! I have rather wide feet with a high shaft and these shoes fit like a glove. Even after a long run they sit like new. The sole Perhaps mine is a little too hard but that is subjective. Incidentally, I had it after half a day in the rain to throw in the washing machine and what can I say: look like new! The leather holds and the sole sticks!
