Has anyone tried Skechers hiking shoes? All Skecher brand shoes have a non standard shaped sole, supposed to improve posture, make walking easier on feet.

Reason I ask: There not too expensive about $45 for low hiking shoes. They have all sorts of shoes from sandals to boots with the same sort of sole.

Example:

There's probably cheaper sellers, such as The Sprotsman Guide which has their Skechers on sale today (I don't see any hiking shoes there).

Do these shoes last?

I would try them if on a budget. They are probably a little heavier, not sure. Even more typical athletic shoe from Asics, Saucony, New Balance can be had for those prices.
