I love the look (nice true red) and get lots of complements but these are not the best athletic performance shoes. They recommended 2 sizes larger than my normal size but I just went one size bigger and they fit fine at first. Then after just a few workouts, the material got stretched out and feels unstable when doing lateral movements. I'll use them until they get too worn in for high intensity workouts then retire them to daily walking around doing errands because they are light and comfortable with good cushioning.
