I didn't necessarily buy these shoes for their intended purpose (trail running) - I just wanted a comfortable, casual looking (not white) shoe. I was really surprised at how light they are - I don't think I've ever owned a pair of shoes this light.They are also extremely comfortable - with zero break-in period. All around, a great shoe.

These are so light and flexible that they make me feel flat footed. They are great for everyday, if casual dress is acceptable. Black version stealthier than blue and gold. One major dislike is that the soles wear out fast on urban concrete.

I purchased one pair and loved them so much that I purchased 4 more pair in various colors. They are extremely light and comfortable. They also look really good when wearing casually. I like the fact that they are understated and not loaded with a bunch of velcro, exotic colors, and look good on my feet. I can wear them to the gym or out in the evening with a pair of jeans and still look good.
