These are super-comfortable, and have a cult-like following here in New Zealand. But they are a smart casual shoe, not a running or athletic shoe. I wear mine pretty much all weekend every weekend.
The only downside for now is that "they aren’t a true all-in-one sneaker. They just aren’t meant for a run". But Wired still rated them 9/10.
Seems like an interesting buy, especially for this summer. Looks like acceptable slippers for the office :p
