I am really picky about the kind of shoes that I wear. Not just sneakers, but dress shoes as well. Fit and comfort are very important to me. I bought these shoes to wear at the gym instead of cross training in my running sneakers. I must say that I am enthusiastically satisfied with these shoes! One major problem that I was having was my toes going numb on the elliptical trainer. These shoes stopped that problem and my feet stay comfortable throughout my workout. They look great and the price is right. I am very happy that I purchased these sneakers.
