These elegant looking 'green shoes' look classy with button-downs. They are bright army green and are great for camouflage activity play or playing Green Hornet...Drezo dress up or dress up. The cool contrast of the black laces and the ribs on the edges is an eye-catcher. They are quite comfortable and not heavy, but have a thick sole. A spike on the heel adds some stability, but this isn't a hiking shoe. Scooter or bike, yes. An arch support/insole can be worn with them to provide the support and stability that someone with a weak arch or a heavier person may need. The cloth has good density and durability. It's just a cool looking pair of sneakers. Highly recommended!
