Review on Stay Active In Style With Damyuan Men'S Lightweight Sports Sneakers by Charlie Powell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

3.5/5 Stars: Lightweight, breathable, but not without flaws

I have owned these shoes for a little while now, and I’m confident in my ability to review them both as they arrive AND with new insoles (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)First off: these are not running or hiking shoes. Don’t run in them, they’re basically slippers. Don’t hike in them, the traction offered isn’t enough for hiking and they offer no ankle support.They’re great for the gym, especially if you lift on machines or do cardio machines like a rower, bike, or elliptical. I’d venture to say that they could be used for free weight lifting, but I’d prefer more support throughout.The laces on the shoes do very little by way of tightening. They work for sure, but not well or to the level I want them to. There’s no tongue, the upper of the shoes are all one mesh piece.Where these shoes truly shine are as throw-on "I don’t care what happens to these things” shoes. I’m addition to the gym, I wear them to the grocery store, in the yard, and in the garage. Honestly, you can’t beat them for that kinda stuff. They’re light, breathable, and even comfortable for short bursts "as is”.Comfort is upped even more with the addition of good insoles. I added Dr. Scholl’s athletic insoles, and they really do make a noticeable difference.Pros:LightComfyAffordableCons:Need insoles (in my opinion)Unknown lifespan (will update when they need to be replaced)December 13 2021 Update: after nearly 3 months of ownership and wearing them to the gym daily, the shoes have quite literally fallen apart. That said, I’m not disappointed in them. I go to a gym that has cardio machines in a 130°F sauna. Everyday I do minimum 30min of cardio in that heat. These were on my feet for every session. Between the heat and the large amounts of sweat from each session, I assume that they fell apart prematurely. I will buy these again, but not for the gym. Instead the new pair will be a "quick errand” type shoe, as they will for sure hold up to that kind of use.As with all shoes, your mileage may vary.

Pros
  • FASHIONABLE STYLE -- The fashion forward design style is an indispensable item in your shoe cabinet,you have a strong rebound force when exercising with this lightweight casual running shoes, and standing for a long time will not make you feel uncomfortable.
Cons
  • The shoes have an unappealing odor that is tough to get rid of
