Its got a nice clean look as far as its design and very comfortable with or without socks. I only wear this as a shoe to relax around the house with or go out to the market or something. It's made by DC shoe industries and have a product aim for skateboarding and snowboarding related footwear. But this line of casual design is by my opinion not meant as a skater shoe or a shoe to do any strenous activity except maybe used on a kicking bag. I felt more agile as far as its light materials used for the shoe, It simply has no weight to them and flexes with no resitance. All in all its a great shoe for casual and light phisical excercising routines.
