Not really what I had expected when they arrived. They are extremely light weight and the entire bottom of the shoe is foam. No rubber around the shoe what so ever. This type of shoe is what I expect to buy from Walmart for $8-12. I'm glad I only paid $16 when they were on sale. Had I paid full price at $30 I would have sent them back. Dont get me wrong they are very comfortable but I dont know if they are really going to hold up in the long run for working out and running.
