I am so happy I came across this site, I thought there was something wrong with me! I tripped about 1.5 months ago and flew into the street, ripped the skin off one elbow and fractured the other one. Then I tripped again the other night, and severely bruised my ribs on one side. While I was thinking about these and other falls, I "checked off" that I was wearing my "good walking shoes" (not flip flops, etc.), then it hit me! I am ALWAYS wearing the Skechers Go Walks when it happens, so I Googled it! They are SO comfortable, but I am about to turn 60, and I can't keep falling! User's recommendation: Do nit buy these.
