First off I got these for half retail I'm assuming because of they are quite ugly. I bought these for using on my treadmill so color wasn't an issue. Most running shoes are narrow on my toes not these, as a matter of fact they are a bit sloppy in the toe area. From the arch to the heal they are very snug. I've worn them on my treadmill once my feet didn't hurt and no annoying rubbing on the toes. The heal after the first walk shows a bit of wear on the inside. There is a rubber insert on the outside but not on the inside. I have my doubts that they will last more than a couple of months but I didn't pay a hundred bucs for them. The material on the upper seems very flimsy but I guess you have to sacrifice sturdyness for weight. First pair of Reeboks in 20 years we'll see how they hold up. Usually buy Asics or New Balance but I was intrigued by the Zig gimic.
