These sneakers have a terrific grip could double as light weight trail shoes. . Initially they felt alittle funny out of the box, they feel like they have a heel but that disapears. .There's a shock absorber in the heel and mid sole it adds to the comfort. I've worn them in rain and snow and they seem to be holding up. They run alittle wide  my EE seem alittle loose.  Old school, just basic looks, no flash or colors. A good buy I think.
