I originally purchased these as workout shoes.  However, within a week, the outside trim seams were coming loose.  Not knowing if I would encounter the same workmanship issue on another pair of the same shoe, I opted to order a different style altogether.  I love my new shoes so much that they are now my primary workout shoes.  I was going to return these but didn't want to hassle with boxing them up so decided to keep them just as a casual pair for running errands, etc.
