These shoes are great for fashion purposes! easy to combine with shorts, jeans or even short dresses.<br />They are a little big not in the size but in the width (I have a slim feet). I use it to go to the gym too but is not the best choice, not confortable for all the moves I make at the gym (running, jump, lunges, etc.) and as I read in other reviews no arch support at all, I have to change the soles.<br />But they look awesome!!
