Sometimes I am on my feet for 10-12 hour days on design jobs, and I was desperately needing some good tennis shoes that would be comfy for that long. I also wanted fashionable tennis shoes since we have to run out for lunch or shopping during the day occasionally. A few months ago I found these metallic gold ones that the sales person assured me were great. I took a chance and they do not disappoint! I just ordered the metallic silver ones too.
