Bottom Line

Pros

Cons

Great all-day, go-everywhere athletic shoes for people with problem feet. Some color variants look downright stylish.

Lace-up front with padded tongue and collar. Moisture wicking. Anatomically-designed, shock absorbing, removable footbed. Traction patterned sole. Shock-absorbing heel.

No cushioning. Not much arch support. Soles are not as flexible as most athletic shoes.
