I got a pair and I'm not really impressed with them. We do loads of walking when we visit cities (up to 9 or 10 miles a day generally) and I wouldn't even consider them for anything like that. If you are just walking around, but not moving constantly, they are ok, but I prefer my running shoes. When I got mine, Sketchers was giving away a free pair of the exercise flip flops... Other than looking cute, I basically find them useless. They aren't extremely comfortable either.
