These are my favorite athletic shoes. Most of the time I just go for walks and do light exercises at home. Nothing crazy, no long walks or jogs. But these shoes are the best; This is my 3rd pair, have been using this particular model of shoe for about 6-7 years. They're easy to wear, right out of the box. They are great for all day wear when needed, the laces are strong and long enough to tie a tie at the heel. They look good, fit well and are true to size. Quite comfortable even on wider feet. The only thing to note is that in my opinion these shoes are not best worn in the rain or on wet, slippery surfaces. I just don't think they are the best shoes for these conditions and they are not waterproof. But the above reasons explain why I intentionally bought my 3rd pair and will wear them in the floor like my first 2 pairs.
