a- At excercise classes, when I do twists & turns my shoes don't stick, because the sole is low-tack, so my knees are way happier.
b- They feel great. No 'break in time' (at least for me!)
c- The style is really cool so I look like a gym regular (which is now true 'cuz I LOVE Zumba and Dance classes!)
d- They are now in Grape! Can you believe it? This is my second pair.
e- Look at that price! Excellent.
