I love love love these shoes. I bought this product for doing outside work and running around. They work great. Also, with all the snow that has been around I wear them while shoveling the drive way and cleaning off my car. The bottoms of them have good traction and I have never slipped or fallen in them. They are also very comfortable and are form fitted to the foot. I would recommend going up a size even. I usually wear a 9 but I bought them in a 10 and they fit great. The only real negative thing about them that I can say is that they are not the most attractive looking shoe but I really don't mind. (I wear crocs all the time)
