These Chinese shoes look pretty. They are relatively light in weight. There is nice padding around the ankle and insole. There is some arch support. There is a tongue to help put shoes on, but it's not big enough for a grown man's toes. I like the tread on the bottom, it certainly doesn't slip, but it's not very thick either. I'm afraid the profile will wear out sooner or later. At the current price of $46 I find the shoe quite expensive for a shoe made in China... Sold by a Chinese company. In general, however, they are doing well.
