This is the first time I've bought Adidas shoes in almost a couple of decades. I was a brand addict until that particular brand became too "awake" and idiotic for my liking, so it was time for a brand change. I was looking for what to wear to work when I came across Duramo sneakers. They are very similar to my other brands' shoes. Constructed of mesh and foam, this is your favorite running shoe. They look great, very comfortable and light. I've only had them for a few days so I can't say how long they will last.
