In this world of sneakers that are either expensive brands or boring generics, these sneakers stand out! They have a unique cool look - a very interesting design that catches the eye without looking weird, just cool! When my husband wore them they caught my eye and according to him even a couple of "cool looking" teenagers asked him what brand they were - quite a compliment! They fit my husband well in his normal size. He would love them, but he says they're too hard for him. He is diabetic and needs a shoe that is flexible and moves well, but it is not flexible enough to be comfortable. He put them on a little every day and tried to put them on, but they're still not what he wears in training for fear of blisters or irritation. Still, he likes to wear them on short walks because they are so eye-catching! And if you don't need a really flexible running shoe, you might not have a problem with stiffness. Overall very good shoes!
