I liked the look of these shoes, they look like worn in, trendy and are quite fashionable. They are comfortable and I find the sizing to be true to most other trainer sizes, like Nike for example. Only critique I have is that the soles seem quite thin and also they have some strange hessian strands embedded in the sole material, so when the sole starts to wear away slightly, the hessian strands are exposed and it looks a little redundant and odd. No doubt this is clearly a aesthetic look they want to present, but I think they should have made the soles thicker without compromising the sole with this other material. They can be compared with a Converse shoe, but i wouldn't go running in them or doing anything that requires going over rocks as the soles just aren't thick or absorbent enough for those types of activities.
