I love the black and white style of my new Anbenser hiking boots, nodding slightly towards the checkered flag. They're lightweight, fit as expected, and feel comfortable all around and on the edges of the foot. Just finished my first ride with it, a quick lap on tarmac roads, concrete sidewalks and grass in descending order. They are definitely good for light work. I wouldn't think they come close to the structure you want in a running shoe. When walking, they are acceptable or better in terms of the support they provide. The mesh construction means you won't want to go out in them in cold weather. But it's 45 degrees Fahrenheit in Connecticut today, and that wasn't even remotely an issue. These anbenser are great for inexpensive hiking boots.
