I like the comfort, fit, the way the claw brace around the centre of the foot holds my foot and the firm heel cup that keeps my foot stable. they are a fraction snug with socks but with the padding in the upper they are loosening up with each wear. These are more comfortable and stable that the big well known brands and the sole has a massive amount of grip. The grey color looks good but I really would be happy with any of the colors presented on this site. I train a lot and walk a lot as well and I hope I get a few months out of these. I am hard on shoes. I consider these to be great value for the price considering I used to always get Aspics or Brooks.
