I actually think some of the Skechers can be very cute - and I find them comfy:

... I don't currently own any, but I did try on link #2 this summer and nearly bought them...
If you want a total splurge, I tried on these Prada Scrunch sneakers in Paris.... they were uber-uber comfy, like wearing house slippers... they had them in a dark silver too.... but I passed since I knew I could always buy them in the US for cheaper:

Angie - what do you think of these sneaks? I'm not sure I'd wear them enough to justify $250... but if they were on sale, what do you think?
Edit to add: I see they come in a range of colors.... I don't really like black sneakers (except converse). If they met with your approval, and they went on sale, which color do you think would be most stylish?
