Casual and comfortable shoes that have an elegant design. They are comfortable when worn however they lack a little some cushioning. I'd recommend taking them on my travels however, not for a intense day of exploration or walking, without arch supports or any other kind of foot inserts that are cushioned. I've read about the possibility of using them as real tennis shoes, but personally, I don't think I'd recommend wearing them. In addition, they lack cushioning, but they also don't provide enough ankle/foot support or grip when you're trying to play a real match.
