very comfortable, flexible shoes.  They're an in-between to traditional hard soled running shoes and vibrams.  Much more flexible than the ones with hard soles, but not to the degree of the vibrams.  basically if I'm entering an environment that would be too uncomfortable to wear vibrams, these shoes do just fine and don't overly limit my foot's natural movement.  They are also the most lightest shoe I've ever worn.  Oh and their vegan, if that matters to anyone.
