These are fairly comfortable out of the box and they do look good. However Reebok's version of M width is narrower than other manufacturers so they feel a little tight on me. The sole is interesting looking but doesn't feel much different than a regular running shoe and in fact I purchased some inserts to improve the arch support. Also, the design pattern of the sole lends itself to things getting stuck between the grooves, usually rocks between 1/2 and 3/4 inch in diameter. In summary these are ok but if I had to do it again I would have stayed with Skechers for the substanially greater sole thickness, arch support, and better fitting width.
