Love these shoes. I am a martial artist and I was looking for a nice light weight practical shoe that i could wear during practice. This shoe is perfect. A little snug and first. But after I engaged in a few kicks and jumps they loosened up. They are now very comfortable. They are true to size, in that they are exactly the size of your foot. which is why they fit so snug at first. Nevertheless, great for an indoor workout. Because of the material you can take them to the beach too.
