I should preface this review by saying that I'm not a runner. I have never enjoyed running, nor do I anticipate I will. I purchased these shoes for a very different reason. I've lived in warmer climates, and I'm a swimmer. As such I've worn sandals and flip flops almost exclusively. I just really dislike wearing shoes and socks in general. I currently live in a part of the world where it snows, and so my sandals and flip flops won't cut it. Nearly all of my loafers, slides, and dress shoes have problems gaining traction on the ice and snow. These give me a better grip and prevent falls.

I do, however, use these shoes for any kind of dry land workout. They are great for that. They feel comfortable and extra flexible when I'm doing lunges or need to involve my feet in other ways in my workout. They feel very natural when walking, almost like I'm not wearing shoes at all. I ran several short distances in these shoes and they felt very comfortable. I would recommend them to anybody in my similar situation.
