I really like the vibrant look of these shoes. I wear mine mostly to the gym and use on the treadmill. The shoe is substantial and it feels very stable in the front so I don't feel any roll when I walk. The other thing I love are the laces! No more stopping halfway on a walk to tie my shoes! I have a wide foot with a really high instep and these shoes are roomy, maybe even a tad big in the toe-box but I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.
