They are great for walking around and are comfortable for everyday wear. This shoe is not a running shoe unless you plan to run inside on a relatively smooth surface.  I ran approximately 9-10 miles over 3 days on blacktop residential neighborhood streets and the bottoms are very torn up for that short of a distance.  At this point I will use them to just walk around in.  You can judge for yourself at the picture of the soles.  The tops still look very good. If you are looking for a running shoe that can be used on the road look elsewhere.  For the money there are many choices that will give you much better wear.
