In no way do I reject these shoes, but they are not as flexible as my Asics or my Adidas shoes.  They are definitely not comparable to my Montrails, which I consider the shoe of all shoes.  Other than that, it came with 2 different shoelaces, different colors, and is a lightweight shoe which would be a 5 star  pair, if meant for general walking!  I paid $40, btw.
