text: Very comfortable shoe, doesn't look overly tactical so it can be worn with regular clothes without drawing any attention. The shoe overall is lightweight and has very good traction and flexibility when encountering various obstacles.<br />Longevity is limited as to be expected with any well used athletic shoe.<br />It is a shame that Bates discontinued this model and doesn't offer comparable replacement. Whatever you can find in your size, you better get it while you can.
