My exercise routine is daily tai chi, and Im also learning the martial moves of bagua. I thought Id try these sneakers, since theres a lot of movement like dance in my exercises.

They have the good support I expect from an athletic shoe, as well as a welcome non-sticky quality to the soles. I can spin around on my heel or my sole pretty easily, for example, moves I execute quite a bit. So Im quite pleased with this footwear. I also appreciate the generous toe room.

The only downside is that,because the tongue is integral to the upper body of the shoe, its not easy to get into the shoe. And the little ribbon loop at the back of the heel to help you pull the shoe on is hard to grab onto. But once I do get into these sneakers, they are very comfortable.

These sneakers work particularly well on hardwood floors. I haven't tried them on carpet.
