Yes the shoe, the looks, the comfort are ok but the design of the sole (bottom of the shoe) is seriously flawed in my opinion. design flaws. The design of the sole has a circle in the middle of the heel that acts as a suction cup, so there is a sucking/popping sound every time I walk from heel to toe. Hey, great if you're walking on carpet all the time, but on a hard floor or tile, the noise is very annoying. Very surprised that this was not seen in product design/test development. Except for the constant cracking when running, the shoes are ok---but I wouldn't buy them again and wouldn't recommend them to anyone who runs on hard ground.
