Review on LANGBAO Walking SneakersLightweight Breathable Black8 5 Men's Shoes by David Turner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Stylish casual shoes. Poor cushioning for anything but walking

The tan LANGBAO hiking shoes for men are made of a rare combination of knitwear and leather. My first impression was that they are quite beautiful in real life, but what really struck me was that they literally weigh nothing. I dropped it and inspected the sole, the fabric and I just wonder how quickly this will fall apart. The outsole reminds me of walking in those foamy sandals that are nice to walk in, but any attempt to walk will lead to sad disappointment. The shoe itself doesn't have enough density to absorb real impact while running, so I definitely don't recommend it. As expected, the fabric of the upper is thin and of significantly lower quality than usual knitted sneakers. The overall design is a win and for short term use I have no problem wearing it. In terms of performance, you need to balance your expectations with the price. These are poor athletic shoes and should not be confused with them. Personally, I've never owned a shoe/sneaker that wasn't from a big brand, so this was definitely a change. I wasn't sure what to expect, especially in terms of the comfort and durability of the product, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it. It's something I haven't seen often and I can easily wear it for a casual or semi-casual gathering. The shoes themselves are very light, similar to what you would expect from those thick foam sandals. The sole itself is soft, light and airy and suitable for most purposes

Pros
  • Comfort: With their lightweight construction and breathable materials, these shoes offer all-day comfort and support, making them ideal for long walks or standing.
Cons
  • Unreliable delivery times
