Although these feel good underfoot for walking I find the style of the inside heel causes them to rub at both heels a lot more than any previous downshifter styles have. I prefer short socks for the gym and within a few steps they have pulled the socks down. Every time. Really irritating and after a couple of weeks of use they are still doing it when I might have expected them to have worn in a little. I may enquire about returning them.

Got this to my wife and she doesn’t take it off since then. It’s a perfect running shoes for indoor and outdoor occasions.

Cute shoes, but firm. Much more firm than I am used to. There is some cushioning in the heel but that is it. I wish I got these on sale tbh... Size up half a size. This running shoe in my typical running size is a little snug. My feet are a little wide but not wide enough for wide sneakers typically, but these are a little narrow for me. These are not for serious runners. You could probably do a short run in these, but I really don’t feel comfortable doing more than that in these. I bought these more for style than running.
