I like the way the shoes look with the spikes. It catches the eye. The different colors are cool too, but black with rubber is by far my favorite. I have wide legs. The insole didn't fit me, I bought a new one. With the new insoles, Mar shoes have become my favorite. Quality material and workmanship are shoes that last. These shoes last me months. I usually change my shoes every 3 months because I'm so picky about shoes. These last a lot longer.
