More than just a workout shoe

5/5

Overall

I started off using this shoe for weight lifting, but eventually as all shoes do, they ended up as my everyday shoe. I started running in them and the support is incredible! May not be the best running shoes out there, but they work great if you are worried about taking them out of the gym.
