Based on our own experience, we found the design of these sneakers to BE outdated and unimpressive. While they may have some steel in the construction the overall quality does not reflect their price point .The only pro we could find is that they are comfortable to wear. However, the cons outweigh this, as they do not provide stylish options to complete your Men's Fashion look, and the materials used are not durable enough for everyday use. We would not recommend these shoes..
