I love these shoes!!! The tongues have elastic to keep them tight around your foot. The grip is really good for platforms and is durable. One of the other great features is how simple the design is, looks good and can be worn casually. I liked them so much I bought 2 pairs so I have a fresh pair when my current ones wear out. Lastly, the price is very comparable to all the skate shoe brands so it's a win win!!

One of the absolute best feeling shoes straight out of the box! I have the black pair as well.

I have literally worn them every day and I love them. They fit into my road bike peddle clips great and the tread grips my BMX. Love em.

A lot of mountain biking and causal wear.

As a college student, I ride my bike almost everywhere, so when I wore out my previous pair of shoes I decided I wanted something designed to work well with bike pedals, but I also wanted a shoe that would be good to walk in as well. So far these have been excellent! The shoe is very comfortable and the outsole is outrageously grippy. My only complaint is that although the design of the tread helps lock the shoes onto my bike pedals well, they don't stay locked in. This might be fixed if Teva were to make the spacing of the tread elements a little more open.

It's not as stiff as a true bike shoe but does transfer the power pretty well and is still comfortable to walk in

I feel like the description, and even the name, misrepresents these shoes. They are not good shoes for biking; in my opinion, they are average at best. The description states that they have a "Stiff and stable outsole that has been tuned for riding" which is just false - the sole is no better or worse than the waffle sole on the Vans I used to wear 20 years ago. The tread pattern on the sole is largely irrelevant since the pedal will dictate the grip far more than the shoe. These grip fine on an old pair of beartrap shimano pedals, but the soles are so soft and flexible that my feet ache after very short rides. You'd be better off getting some other shoes if biking is what you want them for - if you just want some shoes for general wear that you will occasionally bike in then these are ok, but no better than any others (Vans, Adidas, even Converse...)

grabbed these while looking for some casual/quality riding shoes...was more than impressed when i unpackaged. plenty of grip, comfort and durability via the quality materials & construction.

When I first bought these, I thought they'd be perfect for my needs. I work in a school, and figured they'd be great for biking or commuting into work and wearing for the day.

While they were great for the first week or so, I quickly noticed how much I was feeling my heel hit the ground as I walked. Perhaps I was just wearing them too long (which is odd considering they're shoes...), but it felt as though there was little to no EVA in the midsole, or that it broke down WAY too fast.

Overall, a stylish casual shoe, that is comfortable biking, but provides little heel or foot support when walking.
