I bought these shoes as a pair of white shoes I could wear to bars/clubs/parties and get dirty. They served their purpose perfectly. These shoes are cheap and definitely feel like it, but they are good enough for me to be a repeat customer. You get what you pay for, and for the price, I love these shoes.On a side note, I would not recommend these for workouts. These shoes are super light and thin, but this is because they are cheap not because they are exceptional workout shoes.
