Update: After a bunch of hours on these in the Sonoran Desert, I like them alot. Hit a bunch of rocks and such but they still look and work great. I can see the benefit of thinner flat pedals though so that I wouldn't strike rocks as often.

Sketchers came out of nowhere and just seemed to jump onto the skate shoe scene back in the 90s because that was the style at the time. I bought a pair and trashed them skating within a week, meanwhile my old Airwalks and Vans never seemed to die. To me, Sketchers was always a budget brand just trying to match the style of the name brands. They were cheap and lacked quality. Maybe all that has changed now, but I'm still not a fan of the way they look.
If I'm cycling, I wear cycling shoes. Five Ten makes excellent, well priced, mountain bike shoes. I've been on the same pair going on three years now and they're still going strong. Five Ten was originally a rock climbing shoe but the grippy rubber sole of the shoe made for rock climbing also grips pedals.
*shrug*
I could wear a shoe made for the job year in and year out, or I could replace a shoe not made for the job every season.
