It's been a while with them and I have to say I'm a bit confused. I mean, it's not exactly a "running shoe" even though it's very light. In the end, the design is mesh. And that surprises me a little. I mean, I don't think they will last for years, especially if worn for more athletic activities. I think I think it's a 'showy shoe', something to wear to look interesting and add a little something to an outfit. And that's just great because they do it very well. True to size for me. Through this lens I love these shoes. Again, I don't see them as something that requires a lot of punishment, but for running around town or whatever, they work great.
