These are very light and attractive running shoes.  The soles look to be made of a durable material that will not skid and will hold up reasonably well under wear.  They have laces but they are NOT really lace-ups as the shoe really is more like a sleeve that slides over your foot.  Although the pump allows you to adjust the fit, you need to be somewhat careful about selecting the right width as the absence of a true lace-up opening means that there is not much lateral give in the shoe.
