They look very sharp and have great grip. I don't play ball anymore, but I'm very active. They are very light and comfortable. It is important to know that this type resembles closed shoes. I usually wear a size 9 but these fit me in a 9.5. If you have a wide foot I wouldn't order them. They are a bit difficult to put on at first, but once you put them on you have a shoe with a lock. I love feeling them. They fit like a glove so if you don't like the fit I wouldn't take them. Not much for arch support if you like it, but very light and comfortable. Remember they are not loose fitting. They fit like a glove even if you go up a half size like me. A shoehorn works great if you're having trouble getting dressed. They look great and my favorite MLB players wear them in spikes, but these turfs are great for anything including practice, wet traction, or even an evening stroll.
