My wife loves these shoes. She has NoBull and Rebok Nano (4, 5, 6, 7 etc) and they are good for speed and lateral movement. She likes how they look. She says the fishnet stockings are very attractive and true to size. They breathe well and keep feet cool, and the sole color doesn't get as dirty as white-soled shoes. She said the tongue is a bit long, but that also makes it smooth and narrow. There is a sting she can feel, but the edge of the sting is soft (so won't cause irritation or blisters). If you could only buy one pair of sneakers, she would recommend NoBull. If you want a second pair that's lightweight and flexible (or you just love trendy shoes), add this to your closet. She loves the fit, style and design.
