When I first saw these sneakers I wanted to love them. I've been waiting forever for the reviews. Finally tried. I'm taller, fairly active, but I was looking for a shoe that wouldn't twist or loosen during aerobic and anaerobic workouts. Basically an elliptical for doing aerobics and leisurely strolls around the house without worrying about broken glass, splinters of wood, basically anything you don't want to step on barefoot. Didn't want to bother with laces, that fits. Didn't want anything that keeps you warm that fits. Wanted something super light and maybe a good road shoe that was true to size. First fit, these things fit surprisingly well! At first the "straps" felt loose as we wrapped the foot and stacked the Velcro pads on top of each other. Adjusted for a snugger fit but this had to be reversed to return to the fit originally intended. A walk of several minutes showed that they did not need to be tightened for a secure fit. They are just comfortable. Like socks but with more protection. The rubber pods on the outside of the foot weren't uncomfortable, in fact, you couldn't even tell they were there. First workout, kettlebells, various other anaerobic exercises, elliptical trainer and cool down on the treadmill. It was everything I was hoping for from an anaerobic workout: no slipping, no inward leg movement, not all of the workouts, but they worked great. The elliptical took a little getting used to, the foot didn't slide or move in the shoes, but I felt an inch or two lower than usual. There is no padding in these parts, so there isn't any cushioning that you would expect from a running shoe. No soul to crush, no pun intended. These shoes are everything I wanted. Obviously they're not made for walking, unless maybe you're walking barefoot. for everything else of course. Not a formal shoe of course, they fit and look way better than 85% of the photos and videos I've seen wearing these shoes where the toes looked like they were wrapped in some kind of towel. I ordered the exact shoe size. I just got these things and will probably update them in a few months. I really hope they last most of the year if not longer. Will definitely order again! I wish I had waited that long!
