Comfortable for Running Despite Receiving Worn Shoes
4 out of 5 stars
Comfortable for Running Despite Receiving Worn Shoes
I recently purchased these shoes for running and was initially disappointed to discover signs that they had been worn before. The soles were dirty and there were small stones embedded in the tread. However, I decided to keep them due to an immediate need for running shoes.After using them, I can confirm they are surprisingly comfortable. Despite the initial state of the shoes, they have proven to be well-suited for my running needs. They provide good support and comfort during my runs, which is a huge plus.Overall, while I was not pleased with receiving a seemingly used product, the comfort and performance of the shoes have made up for the initial dissatisfaction. If you need a comfortable running shoe and can overlook potential issues with how they arrive, these might still be a good choice.

    I have bought these pairs of shoes so much over the years and I just love them! They are the most comfortable, reliable, work shoe I've found for my job in retail. They have enough support and cushion where my feet and knees don't ache at the end of the day as bad. And i love all the colors they come in. 10 out of 10 from me!

    I was really disappointed in how quickly these wore out. I've only had them a few months, and I only wear them about 25 hours a week at work. And they feel like i'm walking barefoot, there's no cushion to them, and they're very thin- but my feet aren't wide! I question whether or not they were real brand or not.

    El producto es muy bueno, pero tengan cuidado si lo devuelven. No te reembolsan el total que pagas ya que el producto viene de USA y se quedan con el valor del envío. Solo te devuelven el valor del producto o lo que ellos dicen que vale.
