I purchased this item because I needed some cheap black comfy footwear for work. They are a loosely based replica of some more expensive brand, however when you inspect them, they really are cheap looking. I can see the glue around the edges, which is bad that they weren’t tided when being made. I had to pick strings of glue off the actual material when they arrived. The soles are plasticky looking too. I didn’t expect much for the price but they really do look like cheap trainers. They are true to size and comfy, although I certainly would not recommend anyone use these for sports as advertised as they would not offer any support or shock resistance. I don’t think they will last for long, so I will probably end up buying another pair of trainers in the near future, but for now they are doing the job. UPDATE: I wore these for around a year, as work trainers, however, they do not provide any support & certainly are not fit for purpose when it comes to "running" trainers. Cheap & cheerful, they are ok if you are not standing for long periods or doing anything which requires any form of support or cushioning.
