I bought a pair of Nike shoes a long time ago and I was very disappointed because I sole was very flimsy and the fit was tight. So, I never thought of buying a pair of Nikes again. I found these shoes and I took a chance and purchased them because the sole seems to be very thick and the price was way below the average price for Nike shoes. I am impressed with these shoes! To me, they are very light, the sole is thick enough for my taste, and mainly, I like them because I feel that they extend your foot forward base on the design, thereby giving plenty of space to expand your feet outward as much as possible. So I will be buying more of these and will most likely venture into buying other Nike styles. Get them!! They are very comfortable and good looking. I purchased the black ones. They go with anything. I will be going out and doing some good walking with these.
