I wanted a sneaker or shoe that could be pulled on and off without constantly lacing and unlacing but one that still looked good with jeans, yoga pants and shorts and was comfortable.  This shoe fits the bill completely.  It is very comfortable and I love the available colors.  I can't wait to get another pair!  Some people had said it ran small but I ordered my normal size and found it true to size (with a sock that is not really heavy).
