I really like the look of these shoes but they are not comfortable at all. I understand that everyone is different, so comfort level will vary from person to person. I bought these to wear to work where I stand 8 hours a day on concrete floors with thin carpet. After a few hours my legs are throbbing. I assumed that since these are running shoes they would offer great support, but they really don't. They are very light and very stylish, but so thin that they offer nothing in the way of softness or comfort. Mine also make a weird almost slapping sound when I pedal. I believe it has to do with the material around the toe box where the shoe flexes as you walk. This is very annoying.
