Only you will have to run out and buy some athletic inner soles for the complete job, I like them and these outer soles should last a while... Update 4 11 16 . Tried to re-order these shoes and they cannot be found. Propet's new line of shoes are just plain ugly. I have been using the "Escape" in the gym and in casual use for quite some time and found them very comfortable for aerobics and the styling is perfect. I'm hoping Propet is listening and will bring back this model.
