when i saw the picture of the shoes ,i thought i want these shoes for my daily activities.few years ago i bought my first pair of merrell shoes ,which was one of the best walking shoes that i ever had .they were so comfortable,so flexible ,very light weight and  the sole was very soft and comfortable that i could wear them all day long without any pressure to the bottom of my feet.these shoes don't have that kind of comfort for your feet specially when we are talking about sole.the flexibility and the softness and comfort of the sole is close to zero that makes them impossible to be a long range walking shoes.
