This shoe really isn't meant to be used as a "
running" shoe. Definitely not for training in, so if you're looking for that, this isn't the shoe for you. More like a comfortable
Nike shoe to walk around in. You gotta get used to the look of it; the front part of the shoe looks a little long in proportion to the whole shoe. The shoe is definitely comfy, especially without
socks! (It was made to be worn with
socks as well as without
socks, whichever is your preference!)
