They are a very colorful shoe, but not very soft to walk on...the box says they are a running shoe, I wan't wanting a running shoe.  I will have to buy some form of a gel insole to make them more comfy.  I was hoping the sole would be soft and comforting, but they are too firm for what I hoped I was getting.

But, they do make a colorful statement, that's for sure.  I have not worn them out in public yet.  Oh, and they did have 3 different colored laces to choose from...that's fun!
