Found about these from a nurse at work. Due to her recommendation I got a pair for my workouts. They're decent as a running shoe, but where they really shine in my opinion, is walking. I find them very comfortable for walking around. I liked them so much I ended up buying FOUR pairs. (Two for me and two as gifts.) I got the all black ones for workouts. (I've been looking for a comfortable, solid black shoe, for a long time.) I got another pair just for wearing (walking) around. So far, after 2 months of heavy use and abuse, I love them.Admittedly, when I first got them I was very skeptical of these no tie laces. Thought for sure I'd have to swap them out for traditional laces (included) for running. They hold remarkably well however. Even when sprinting full blast the shoe isn't loose, much less slipping or in danger of coming off. So I left the original laces on, and now have all the convenience of a slipper, in a much cooler looking athletic shoe.I have discovered one potential deal breaker. If you spend a lot of time in gravel I would advise not getting these. They pick up rocks. Like, a lot. I was having to pull rocks out of the tread pretty much every time I stepped outside at one work site. (Otherwise I would leave rocks all over the floor as they slipped out inside.)They also seem to run very slightly larger than other shoes I've gotten. If you wear really thin socks you may want to go a half size down. If you wear regular, or thick socks, then your normal size should be fine. They were a little tight and stiff at first, but with only a little wear, started feel like a cushy glove.Anyway, 5 stars you Swiss bastards.
