They are decent looking shoes, but they are likely unfit for rigorous exercise. The biggest shortcoming, however, is not merely aesthetic; the shoes are cheaply made. That much is obvious upon receipt, as one other reviewer commented. The front of the shoe is where this becomes most conspicuous. It immediately becomes clear that the faux leather bordering the mesh on the front will deteriorate and discolor very quickly and the mesh will wrinkle and deform similarly. The lack of quality necessarily translates to poor functional utility as well. While I doubt that most people are purchasing this shoe as a primary trainer, they are not durable and will not maintain their aesthetics or functional ability for long. And if they fail to meet a minimum standard of durability or quality, they become super furious even for causal wear. Ultimately, with these shoes you get what you pay for.

I bought these for my 13 year old for his track practice. He loves running in these shoes. He said they were comfortable from the first practice.

Background: Bought these shoes for a pair of work shoes. I work in greenhouse production and wind up walking about 3-5 miles everyday checking plants and doing this and that. Pros: I love these shoes. They are comfortable and perform great. When I do step in water or get water on them they are quick to dry out. That is going to be valuable during the summer. I have worked out in them also and they did a great job of supporting my ankles. Cons: The wind can cut through them which wouldn't be bad during the summer, makes them a little cold in the winter. Also, they look a little goofy with pants, so be aware of that. Otherwise they are great shoes.

Just got the shoes yesterday and wore them all day. They are true to size and extremely comfortable. I have the black and red pair, very stylish.

A little tight at first like most shoes but once you wear them 3 or 4 times they start to form to your foot perfectly. They are comfy and I really like the blue color. I got them because I am obsessed with UK Basketball and I wanted them to match all the UK Blue clothes I wear. Bought some Royal Blue shoelaces and the shoes look even better.

This shoe was true to fit but needs a couple of days to break in as it caused minor blisters on my heal. This shoe looks great with jeans and khaki's I love it!

I've been wearing these shoes for a few days and love them. The fit is perfect and they look great. Highly recommend these shoes to anyone thinking of purchasing them.

Overall great shoes. Very durable sole. No real break-in time needed. Would recommend to someone looking for a nice merrel slip-on.

I like the look of the shoe, the comfort however doesn't compare to sneakers that I got from Merrell. The Bare Access shoe is just wonderful. Anyway, these look much more professional which is what I needed.
