Super comfortable! I have a hard time finding shoes that don't hurt my feet because of my flat feet. I can wear these all day, they are so comfortable. Going to buy some more in different colors!

I love these shoes. They are comfortable and lightweight. Don't be worried about how white these shoes are, they are totally washable (just don't put them in the dryer). I would recommend some insoles if you have any sort of issues with your feet. When I wear these shoes running, I use an insole, but on day to day use or even for hiking I use the regular insoles because they breath better.

In the picture, the shoes clearly look dark gray and blue, but in reality they are black and blue. Kind of disappointing. As far as the actual shoes go, I'd say they are okay. Really thin material, kind of feel cheap for the price. I don't notice extra breath-ability yet. The shoes aren't as sturdy or well made as I'd like. I also had to order 1 full size smaller than typical.

Simply put: you need these shoes. I was debating on this purchase for a while and have never owned a pair of Adidas before. I was beyond pleasantly surprised, the amount of flexibility and lightness basically blew my mind the first time I put them on. Be careful when ordering your size, make sure to order a half to full size smaller to what you normally wear. Yet overall: great shoe. PS I order here vs. Adidas.com because of the great shipping (both cost and speed).

This shoe is a welcome departure from the heavy running shoes that I've rifled through lately. I highly recommend these for the sheer fact that you can barely tell you are wearing shoes. The lightness adds freedom to my run.

Great shoes – very light and they keep your feet cool. They run big so don't order a size up. My true size gave me plenty of toe room to run.

Size runs very big. These shoes really hurt my feet had to give them away and buy another pair of shoes. Bought Adidas Galaxy, love them!

I really like these shoes. I bought the hot pink color, which is a tad bright for me, but so girlie. They are comfortable and super duper light. They are very airy and a pleasure to wear. I use them for some running and gym weight lifting. I bought half a size down which was a good choice.

As someone who loves the Vibram Five Fingers barefoot running shoes, the Climacool is a nice balance between the flexibility of a "barefoot" shoe, with a little more substance. I usually wear them kickboxing as your foot can easily do full rotations and the sole flexes to allow much more movement than a traditional shoe. Also, can't beat the price. I only gave the comfort level 3 stars as this shoe really has minimal cushioning. I love it, but probably not for someone who likes a more "solid" shoe.

I bought these because I was looking for a lower profile athletic shoe to wear for dance aerobics classes and cardio machines at the gym -- you know, one that doesn't look like a moon boot. I actually thought the body of these was purple, but it's black. I was happy about that. They are comfortable, but take some getting used to. The breathable upper is extremely flexible, meaning it doesn't offer much in the way of support. I have been using them with custom orthotics as well as the insoles they came with, so I get some extra cushion. Without the orthotics, you're pretty close to the earth in a way that might freak me out. The zig zag soles are cute and give a lot of really easy flex. Only problem with the soles is if you walk in gravel, you're taking it all inside with you.

I really like these shoes. I just wore them on a trip to Boston and walked all day and night, with no problems! It really feels like you are barefoot as they are very roomy in the toe area. However, if you are doing a great deal of jumping or anything else where there is much pressure to the ball of the foot, and you are used to more support than this, your feet will hurt. I wore these to one session with my trainer, who has me doing a lot of jump rope and jump squats, and I will not do it again as the ball of my feet felt almost bruised afterwards.

I have small but wide feet. I thought the generous sizing would be a good thing, but Wow, these run big. Order a full size up -- at least. I wear between a 5.5 and 6. First, I ordered a 5.5. Way too big. I ordered a 5. Still big. I'd have to wear really thick socks. I wanted to wear these without socks. I didn't like how they made my feet look big. On a positive note, the black color looks really cool. Like something Batman would wear.

I purchased these shoes for the express purpose of wearing them on trips. I'm tired of my heavy (motion control) and hot shoes when I just need comfortable shoes for traveling, either by plane or auto. These shoes are wonderfully light and cool, plus I love the color purple. I normally wear a size 13 narrow in running shoes but the 12 medium fit just fine although I don't do any running in them. I did add an additional thin insole to provide some additional support and cushion. My only complaint about them is the shoelaces do not stay tied very well. The fabric seems a bit slippery.

This has a very flexible sole, and there is no stiffness at all, which I like. Its also a lightweight shoe, and that is also nice. It seems rather wide especially in the front, so even with laces I couldn't get them to fit. And the heel isn't particularly padded.

Comfy shoe, slightly narrower than expected, true to size otherwise. I returned it because I decided I wanted a more feminine color than black with a turquoise sole, especially with shorts when spring comes.

Runs large. I wear an 11 and am going to exchange for 10.5... first time that's ever happened for me!

After reading several reviews that these run big. I decided to get a 7, unfortunately those were sold out. So I ended up ordered a 7½ hoping that they would fit. Normally, I wear an 8. Sadly, they were too big and had to send them back. That was a pity because they are comfortable and are sharp looking sneakers. Oh well, the search continues...
