Default I've not tried the 'sketchers'? But reports I've gotten from...

friends is that they are very heavy and awkward to wear. By folks with Diabetic PN.
My neuropathies & balances are soo bad I wouldn't try it! NO WAY.
Web up 'fit flop reviews' on-line and see what others say. Avoid the manufacturers' sites as YOU KNOW THEY are gonna be positive?
I did well with Crocs shoes, but have to warn you that you MUST ease into wearing them gently. They have good support? My podiatrist loved my getting them, but don't put them on and wear them for 3 hours at a stretch at first! You will discover foot muscles protesting that'll make you think you've broken bones! Happened to me, I still wear them for short periods and they are comfy w/good arch and pronation support too. [Web up 'pronation'-its common w/PNers]
Some folks love Fit Flops? Others hate them! Up to you to spend your money and if It HELPS? More the better! Good luck and let us know! - 's - j
