These shoes are made distressed. The streaks and smudges are "stylish".

If you want a shiny new unblemished looking shoe, don't get these.

Reading product features --

"Stone color is distressed for a worn in look and feel"

Yes, the picture does not reflect this. Although doing a little research at Sketchers' website, you will find that their picture represents the product a whole lot better.

Personally I didn't read the part where it says distressed, but who can pass up a bargain like this. Either distressed or not, these shoes would look like that in a few weeks anyways. They are shoes.

Skechers makes some nice shoes. The fit and feel of these shoes was that of quality materials and craftsmanship. Skechers tend to run a bit large for the stated size. I'm a 9.5 (mens US), but I can often wear a 9 in Skechers. This shoe (bone) looks great with flare-leg blue jeans.

These shoes have a nice look, but run almost half a size larger. I'm a 9.5M and the 9 fits better.

Great buy for 20 bucks. They look nice and fit well. They are distressed but it is not as bad as I thought it would be from reading the other reviews. They look nice with jeans and a dark shirt. Pretty comfy too.

To start let me tell you that i bought these shoes AFTER read all the comments and experiences that the other customers wrote... still for 20 bucks i took the risk and bought them... to my surprise these pair of shoes were great.

I must admit that the shoes that i received are a little bit darker than the ones pictures and yes... they have this "Distressed" look... but man... these shoes are great looking... if you like to wear your "Worn Jeans" this shoes will look great... believe me!.

Regarding the size... well, all my shoes and soccer boots are 11 and of course i bought these 11. They fit me perfectly and they arent wide at all.

Yes, the sole is thin... exactly as shown on Amazon's picture but i disagree that this will traduce in short life.

All in all this is a great buy... for 20 bucks you wont find a better deal on the whole internet for a pair of Shoes.

I like this model shoe enough to have 2 pair of them, in 2 colors. Quality is good, and they are very comfortable.

A couple tips to pass along. Yes these have a distressed look, which shows up more with darker colors. I feel it adds to their character - just beware of this finish. Keep in mind that these go GREAT with worn jeans, so it's a good match.

The other important tip is that these do run large in size. This style has a large toebox already, but they are still a wee bit long. But they are a tad wide as well. Ultimately it's the insole shape that makes these a shoe that you might want to fall back a size on, or if you wear a half-size, drop the half. As example for me, I normally wear mens 13. I could wear these in 13 as well and deal with the slightly longer length and width, but size 12 was overall more comfortable for me due to the insole shape and foot positioning. This makes a big difference when you are walking with these.

Overall I am very pleased! I have knocked them back 1 star simply due to their not being true to normal size.

The color of the pair I received is slightly different from the photo. I was hoping for a light cream/tan color, but instead it's light brown. If you google-image search these shoes, you'll see that most of the pics out there are more representative of the actual product than Amazon's. I saw those pics beforehand so I wasn't surprised when I got my shoes, but still a little disappointed. Other than that... the fit is good, the size is standard (unlike some manufacturers), the sole is thin but surprisingly comfortable. I don't know if this shoe will actually last a year before falling apart, but whatever. Worth my $20 bucks.

UPDATE: I've been walking in them every day for a year and a half, and they're in great condition. Still surprisingly comfortable, too. I've been going on long walks recently (1-hour, give or take) without any discomfort.

UPDATE March 1st, 2010: It's been over 3 years and these shoes are still going strong.

I like these shoes and they look & feel great (especially for $20.90). But the other reviewers are definitely right in that they come out of the box with black "distress" mark son the sand or cream colored leather. While it's disappointing that the pictures don't clearly show that, the marks are applied way too evenly and carefully to not be intentional. I still think they look good, but if you want a "clean" looking shoe, this might not be the one.

I bought this sneakers because I considered Skechers a big reliable brand. I was so mistaken... I have owned them for 2 and a half months and the sole is already worn out and one of them has even a small hole in it. I am not much of a sportsman y I use them only for work (at the office). I have had similar sneakers from another leading brand for more than five years now. You see, I am not like a "shoe-destroyer" or something.

Conclusion: first and last time I buy from Skechers
