I usually really enjoy the adidas brand as their shoes are very well made. But unfortunately these run very small, upon getting my regular shoe size the shoe was too tight and so therefore not a decent fit. The soles are hard and stiff not quiet as squish, and giving as I expected. For the price point if you size up this is a decent shoe for everyday basic needs. But this would not be my go to shoe for running or long walks as it does not offer much support for the ankles and hard on the soles.
