While they can be a little on the expensive side, they are well worth it (make sure to use our Cole Haan Promo Code to make the shoes a bit more reasonable). They are comfortable, light, flexible and look great. ... You can get Cole Haan Zerogrand shoes on Amazon (some are even part of the Prime Wardrobe program).

Hard to argue, honestly. The PG3 has great fit, almost-great cushioning and great traction. Yeah, the materials are low-end for a signature shoe, but they work. The support isn't built for really big guys, but it's not terrible.

Hey Dude Shoes is a fairly new company, and their shoes are a bit revolutionary, to be honest! They have patented their EVA sole, and use it to make classic styles, but super comfortably. ...

Yes, they are! Airwalk is one of those shoes that make me amazed because it can really outlast. Since then I always used it every time I go out and play my game. It's very relaxing and comfortable footwear to use without any discomfort while enjoying the sport.

Snug and Tight is Right Your heel should sit well with your foot with no lift. There should not be more than an eighth of space between the end of the shoe and your longest toe. The shoe has to be big enough to properly accommodate your foot without being too tight.

NoBull – The toe boxes on these are slightly larger than average, but slightly under what I consider just right. These have a 4 mm heel-to-toe drop, so while not exactly a minimal shoe, these are a great pick for transitioning. ... I wear a 10.5 shoe, but a 10 in these. Not zero-drop by default (see next list).

The verdict: Yes, but they're no replacement for proper hiking boots. The MTEs don't have a proper heel, but I felt secure going both uphill and downhill, and didn't slip once. ... They certainly don't replace standard climbing shoes or serious hiking boots — they aren't meant to — but for casual hiking, they were perfect.

Running & Pick-Up Basketball For long runs or cardio based workouts, I recommend getting the Free x Metcons, they limited the tough heel strike the TPU heel can have on the Metcon 4s. In terms of quick bursts of speed, I think both shoes are solid options.

Chuck Taylors are terrible for running but for squatting, they're not so bad. This shoe offers a flat sole or a 0 mm drop (compared to the ~20 mm drop seen with the raised heel of the weightlifting shoe). ... This shoe therefore does not give any aid for those with limited ankle mobility.
