Darn! I read "sports shoe" so I thought it work well for the gym. Didn't turn out that way. They are ok, but after running or even walking vigorously on them for a while the top of my left foot gets a little painful. That's tolerable, but then there's also this blister that comes on the underneath of my left foot after running - that is not tolerable unfortunately. So to recap: not really suitable for the gym!

on the plus side, they look really really nice. Everybody commented on how cool they were. But they do get dirty easily, so watch out. I would say all in all these are great for every day going out
