Good grips for frosty mornings and help on the ice.

Like another review, I quickly found that the sole of the shoe is actually just painted/coated black and white underneath. This began to flake off within a couple months of light work. I returned these shoes to Adidas in July when they agreed it was a "manufacturing defect". They do not honour a swap or exchange for the same pair. Otherwise I actually enjoyed these shoes and found them very comfortable, even with my wide feet. Shame that Adidas can't help shoot themselves in the foot. Happy to update this review should things change but buyer beware, I would avoid this entire series, let alone this color way.
