I bought these shoes for its look at first, but surprisingly it turns out to be a really great athletic shoe. I usually use cross trainers because i play several sports besides running. I've now had these shoes for a few weeks and I've used these shoes to play court volleyball, outdoor/indoor basketball, longboard-skateboarding, working out at the gym, jogging, walking, and running.
Let's talk about a few things:
I usually use Nike Cross Training Shox Shoes because it absorbs my weight really well (I'm 6'0", 230lbs). But this does a great job with shock absorption also. I have high arches and wide feet, and this shoe fits comfortably for me. I went into a Footlocker to try on another pair of Zigmaze II shoes, and they fit the same.
Talking about attention, I get compliments EVERYWHERE. :) There are so many colors on this shoe and it pretty much matches anything you have on. I even wore it with my suit to my cousin's wedding. And all I got complimented on was for my shoes. So if you love the attention, these shoes are for you.
I do want to say that I don't like the laces. I'm used to athletic shoe laces which are thicker in nature, but this one is like a really thick string with plastic tightening clasp. It does keep my shoe on, and there is a lip that covers that plastic, but it's something i just need to get used to. I feel that one day that it'll start to slip, but I can't tell since I've only had it for a few weeks.
These shoes do not perform well on wet tile. I was jogging the other night and it was drizzling a little bit. And when i was passing a building that had tile on it, I almost slipped big time. Luckily I caught my balance, so that night I made sure to run on every single wet terrain on my way to the gym so that I know where I'd need to be careful. In conclusion, it did well on grass, sidewalk, textured cement, and asphalt.
Other than that, it is a great shoe and it's now become my favorite shoe. I'm kinda wishing I bought two pairs as these seem to not be available in any of the shoe stores I've visited.

Reluctantly took one start off for value. It's a very comfortable shoe with great support, but it is a bit pricey (even though Amazon had the best price I could find!). Laces are a cinch.... just pull up on both sides to tighten around the ankle and then press and drop the clasp down to hold; it's really quite easy. The extra bit of sole at the back of the shoe does scrape against the back of the stairs as I descend, but that's mainly because of my size 13 feet! Very happy with my purchase and will most likely by another pair eventually. Recommend that you check back as prices seem to frequently change for any given size/color combination.
