Review on SILENTCARE Men's Lightweight Running Sneakers - Breathable Athletic Shoes by Scott Chen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent running shoes for the price!

I ordered the black and silver version of these sneakers for my husband. The silver in the picture is not what I imagined. I thought it was gray rather than shiny mirror silver metallic. Although this is my fault. The shoes themselves don't come in half sizes so I ordered the next size up which I have done for him in the past with other pairs of shoes. Here's what he had to say about these shoes: They're the right size for the length, but they're very roomy in every other way. They are wider than usual and there is more room in the upper part of the foot. This last piece is good because to begin with it's not the most comfortable running shoe I've worn, but it has enough room to insert an insole and is now extremely comfortable and fits well. I really like that the design of the shoe allows you to tie the laces and hold the shoes well even during exercise, and the width and elasticity of the material allows you to put them on and take them off without untying them / to bind. Since I wear them around the house as "inner shoes," it's nice to be able to slip them on and off with the convenience of slippers while supporting my sneakers. One of their downsides is the protector. Instead of offering traction, they were slippery right out of the box. As I wear them, every coating that was on them from the factory seems to have worn off and they aren't that slippery, but I was surprised at how slippery they were. Overall, this is a very good deal for a $26 shoe (as of April 21), but a little flashy for my tastes.

Pros
  • This is a great pair of running shoes for chores and painting whenever you need a great, comfortable shoe.
Cons
  • May not have enough traction for off-road or rough terrain.
