You attribute it to Uncle Albert. Was it in that song as well?

I bought a pair of Sketchers new model called “slip ins”. You just step in and out of them without having to bend over and they are very comfortable.

That's too bad. My New Balance 840V4's have been all over Europe and I am still wearing them today. I can understand if you are buying the Kohl's $60.00 variety.

Prefer buying from a store so we can try on without shipping back and forth.

The ones I bought were Model 813V1, walking shoes, for $85 on Amazon.

A good place to look for walking shoes is All About Feet on Canal Street close to Sumter Landing Square. Raiker is a very good brend.

There is a sketchers store in the Rolling Acres plaza

Sketcher Slip ins are like walking on a cloud and very easy to get on and off. No laces to tie.

Agree but where do you buy them around here

ECCO is the only brand of shoes I wear. I absolutely LOVE their sandals, and their golf shoes too! Shoe Biz on 441 sells them and there’s also an ECCO outlet at the Tampa Premium Outlets in Wesley Chapel that has great sales.

THANKS everyone for the suggestion, lots of choices. We even have Sketchers WITH and WITHOUT the "T."

[William MacEntee]

I looked at Walmart shoes and could not find the unbranded sketchers. Do they have a name, the $29 shoe you mentioned.

Shoe biz and fleet feet in the villages both carry Hokas.
Otherwise the drive to Ocala is worth it.
