Under Armour Boys' Grade School Drive 4 Cross-Trainer Shoes - Lightweight Athletic Sneakers for Running, Training & Gym Workouts

I purchased these shoes in size 11.5 with the black colorway. I will base my review on 2 criteria: Comfort and Style. I would typically include a third category for these type of shoes (performance) but I did not make it that far.Style - I like to have my wife with me when I try on shoes or clothes as she tends to wear her emotions on her sleeve and she doesn't let me talk myself into keeping things that are ugly just because they were a good deal. Her comment on the shoe was it kind of looked like an ice skate with the weird sole on this shoe. Around the arch or middle of the shoe there is a gap where that portion of the sole does not attach to the actual shoe upper. From the pictures online it was not quite as extreme/noticeable as it was once on my foot. Had these had a more normal sole on them they would have been much more attractive. 2 out of 5 stars on looks. Normal sole would have qualified for a 3.5-4 star on looks.Comfort - This is where I was really disappointed. I think I could have gotten past some of the style factors had these been super comfortable. A very comfortable workout shoe can suffer a bit in the look department for the right price. That was not the case with these shoes. They seemed to have little to know cushioning and any cushioning it did have was masked by the tightness/narrowness of the shoe. After only a few seconds I knew these were a no go in this department. Maybe they loosen up with time and would feel more comfortable but for shoes that do not look very good in person it wasn't worth the time, energy or money. 2 out of 5 star on comfort.
