Love Skechers. In fact, I use to only wear Crocks as my preferred casual shoes and now Skechers are my new favorites. Why? They are light and the soles are cushiony softy. I wish they had more styles for men. The women collection is pretty amazing. We men wear shoes too. Meanwhile, as far as the outlet label. This is no outlet. Prices were on par as other Skecher stores. I will come back to check to see if any new styles come in. Try on a pair. Once you see how comfortable they are, you may not buy another brand.
