I bought these to run the woods behind my home. One evening it was raining quite hard, and I got my work shoes soaked. I only had these, so decided to give them a go. I am a department head at an Amazon warehouse, and walk about 15 miles during a 10 hour day. Initially I was worried, as all my work shoes have insoles added. These Adidas did so well that they are my new work shoes, and I ordered another pair to run in. Very comfortable, and they take a beating.
