text: Paid $45 for these after trying them on at a store.  Why?  They are poor sneakers.  Seem to be trying to imitate the Nike Air Monarch, which are fair sneakers.  These don't make it;  in theory, I saved $45 over the better pair I had wanted (but unavailable), but really threw away these $45 of actual cash.  I do not recommend this nothing sneaker!  No support, no shape, no nada.
