I bought this shoe for running but the problems that I kept getting were the shoe laces kept untying even though I double knotted them, I didn't feel balanced and I don't really like the material they are made from. I always try new brands of shoes and not the major one's like Nike, Under Armor, Adidas but this shoe doesn't even come close. I would rather spend 10-20$ more to get a shoe from the shoe companies above.
