For the $49 price these make for a good entry level shoe if it fits you correctly. They were too narrow for me, and I typically wear a normal width shoe, so I ended up returning without using. But based on the quality they appeared to be a good shoe and I loved the bright color. The body of the shoe was very stiff but I'm sure that would soften some as broken in. If it wasn't for the shoe running a little narrow I would have kept.
