My lack of athletic ability has never required that I purchase shoes over and above Chuck Taylors. Last year, though, as I was planning my three-week backpack trip through Europe, I decided that high-tops probably weren't going to cut it. I stopped off at Famous Footwear & bought some shoes. Bear in mind, I have shockingly little knowledge of the athletic shoe world. Basically my requirements were that the shoes be non-ugly and roughly in my size. Well, I ended up buying shoes because Kelly Ripa's face was on the box. Hey, if they're good enough for The Ripa, they're good enough for me.

Except that they weren't good enough for me. Indeed, my toenail ended up sawing through the mesh on the right one within a week. Even so, I kept wearing them, even sometimes with uncoordinating socks. Finally, they were hurting my feet so badly that I started doing Jazzercise barefooted. It was time to man-up and buy some real shoes.

They just...feel so good, you know? Who knew it could be this way? My gym bag is lighter. My shin splints hurt less. I'm not the only woman in the studio who looks like a punk rocker from the ankles down. Thanks, Nike.

are these nike's feather light? if so i can knowingly say that jaimee rose's face should be on the box. she swears by these shoes as the comfiest for zumba and running around the city (as in nyc).you can walk where you need to go, then pull out your statement footwear, pack these away and you are set to go... plus they are blend with anything black.
