Bought these shoes for long distance running (treadmill training) and they are good. However, the soles are already too "smoothly" worn out, which for me is an important "AGAINST" against owning them. UPDATE: Very dangerous on wet rock/pavement after only a few weeks of walking. These long-distance shoes are a hazard as they lose much of their already nominal profile early on. These "comfortable" shoes are a waste of money and dangerous to wear due to the risk of slipping.
