These shoes do look good. I think they are built keeping in mind light weight and you feel it when you wear them. They feel really tight and when you look at your feet in your shoes, they look smaller then usual because very thin and light material is used to build the shoes. This is just not my style and the way I like to feel my feel when I run. Out of the box a shoe lace was broken, but I could fix it. One shoe was considerable more stretch compared to the other one. Adidas makes good shoes, these weren't my type.
