text: I wear these to referee outdoor soccer games all day, where cleats would make my feet hurt after a while and indoor soccer shoes don't provide enough traction. I've found that these are a great compromise, but one of my largest requirements was having a waterproof shoe, which these were advertised as. After dark, the fields get soaked with dew and these shoes do not provide ANY protection from the water. Your socks and feet will be soaked in minutes if you have to wear these in wet grass. They fit like normal athletic shoes, have almost no arch support (which is not an issue for me since I'm young), and minimal cushioning. I ordered half a size up, added a Dr Scholl's gel insert to the bottom, and I can wear them all day.
