I was in search for 2 things - 1) a stylish pair of shoes that I could wear during our week-long trip to NYC where I'd be doing tons of walking and 2) a pair of sneakers I could use as my normal work out shoes. My friend has these and suggested them to me and I love the way hers looked, so I ordered them. I ordered my true size and a half size larger due to the reviews I read. My true size fits me perfectly and I returned the other pair. These shoes are meant to be worn without socks and they should fit your feet snugly, with little wiggle room. Also, I ordered the grey/pink pair and they are lighter in person than in the photo. They are like a charcoal gray, which I really like, they are not black.

I took these to NYC for our trip and wore them right out of the box. We walked 2 miles the first day and 8 miles the second day. I am not kidding when I say that my feet didn't hurt at all afterwards or my back. The only complaint is that your feet do get very sweaty and the shoes do smell, however, not a big deal. A couple people in the city asked me about my shoes, saying that they were very cute.

Since our trip I have also worked out in these shoes. While they weren't the best for things like jumping jacks and jump rope, they still did the job. I would recommend these to anyone looking for low-profile, light, stylish sneakers.
