First I would like to say that Nike and K-swiss makes this same style of shoe I have the Nike version, as well as the Fila Now, having said all that let me say this these shoes are a trainer/walking/casual shoe very light materials it is not intended for high-stress environments and will break down much faster if used in that fashion it performs best in light-duty functions it is a good looking shoe with great style its a great Sunday Shoe and looks great with your favorite pair of jeans or just loungeing around the house in your sweats I give it 4stars because its a great casual shoe has a perfect fit and is very comfortable
