“Great shoe. Very comfortable sole, but the heel guard/padding in the back has some sort of plastic fibers that stick out and scratch your heel. You have to wear thick socks to protect your feet, and even then they poke through and scratch your ankle and heel. I’ve not worn these shoes for running because I know I would get huge blisters all along the back of my foot from the plastic-y fibers. These fibers have also messed up the socks that I’ve worn with my shoes, which is a real shame. I am hoping that over time these fibers will soften, making the shoe wearable for athletic use.
If the heel pad fiber issue were fixed, I would give theses shoes a 5 star, without a doubt. Outside of the heel pad these are my favorite trainers, and even with the issue I still recommend them to friends.”
