A classic shoe and still my favorite after all these years. Can't beat the price either with what sneakers cost these days. I no longer use my CTs for working out, exercise, aerobics, running or anything like that and wouldn't recommend that anybody else do so either. The cushioning is the same as it used to be back in the day, which is to say there is none. But for everyday walking, hanging out around the house, or indulging in a little retro fun these really are great shoes.
