"I purchased these to wear on a trip to Turkey, wanting something I could walk all day in but something that didn't look like a gaudy, American running shoe. These black, nonfussy-styled running shoes fit the bill. Amazingly lightweight, but supported my feet for hours, whether I was walking on city streets in jeans and nice tops, or hiking in the mountains in more casual clothing. Purchased them in autumn 2012 and have been wearing them ever since for any long-walking ventures, like shopping trips, treks around museums, and walks/jogs around the neighborhood. Black goes with anything. I visited this website to buy another pair, even though there's a lot of life left in these, and decided to share my good opinion of these shoes. The fit is slightly narrower than other shoes, which is also why I like them. I have a long, narrow foot; these are suited for such feet."
