These are "barely" just OK.  They are not nearly the quality and comfort of the Born Blast I previous version which I have in brown and wear frequently.  I wanted a pair in black, ordered these, and pretty dissappointed in the material used and the comfort of the shoe.  I would have paid a little more to get the quality of the original Blast I.  Born made a big mistake in cheapening their product - I will likely not be back.
