Nike Men's Air Zoom Pegasus 38 Running Shoes - Lightweight & Cushioned for Comfort - US Size 7 - Perfect for Jogging, Gym Workouts & Daily Wear

These are easily the most comfortable pair of low-tops I've owned in quite a while, for several reasons; I'm a shoe-freak who used to work at Champ's, so bear with me ?The upper is really breathable, made of something that reminds me of the newer "textured" Flyknit, only a little thicker...The tongue is held down with nice wide elastic that's sewn straight to the base of the shoe, so it won't slide around; I had to work out one specific pressure point in the middle of the laces, but after that they feel way better all over; I wear them tightly laced, but untied hiding the laces under the insoles ...Speaking of which, the removeable insole is a really nice touch if they ever need replacing; it's something I look for specifically (for that exact reason)...The lack of visible lace-points except for a few Flywires on each side was an odd-looking detail at first, and it could make replacing and relacing them a bit tricky, but the way the original laces add to the colorway is really cool right out of the box...The Air Max heel took a little getting used to because it's not quite as wide as my last pair of Nike's, but my feet are still incredibly thankful after a full day on my feet; the only thing I think that might have made them even more comfy would be a Zoom spot at the ball of the foot, but that's just me..There's a little flare on the top of the heel that works almost as well as a real loop at providing a place to grip the back while you're putting them on, and it blends nicely into the design once they're on your feet...Even though the shoe itself is about 3 years "outdated", it's still very well worth the price; overall I'd say 8.5/10
