Nike Kobe 9 Elite Protro Masterpiece DCCCE1057

Reviewer C Pink

Purchased to wear at the gym.They took one afternoon to break in.I used to wear the saucony kinvara which cost around $100,and has a 4mm heel to toe,which made the cartlidge on my heel hurt after running on the treadmill.The Propel Vista has a 8 mm heel to toe which seems to have stopped my heel from hurting after each run on a treadmill.The Propel Vista is described as a street runner,but they work great for treadmill running,and they only cost $40 ,and are just as comfortable as Saucony's more expensive runners.Will purchase again.

I like these shoes a lot. They are super light weight. They look good and feel good. I have a very wide foot. My predecessors to these shoes were almost as expensive, and I ended up "blowing out" the sides of both shoes because of my wide feet. There is a little bit of slop in these shoes, but I ordered them 1/2 size bigger to be able to wear 2 pairs of socks with these in the winter. With 2 pairs of socks, these are as close to perfect as I could hope for. I paid about $35 with prime. If these "blow out", I will report back, but I think they are going to be just fine.

Love everything about them. Just wish I bought two pairs when they were on sale 😪

First off, I wear a size 14 in most shoes, including Five Ten Freerider mountain biking shoes. These are only made up to a 13. I heard that they come a little large though and decided to try them out. I'm not sure if this is true across all sizes, but the 13 is more like a 13.75. They ended up fitting me very well. So, be careful on the size.

The main reason I bought these though is that I LOVE the Stealth rubber soles on my MTB shoes and wanted to try out a pair of hiking/approach shoes from Five Ten. Even though the tread pattern doesn't look terribly aggressive, these are the best gripping trail shoes I've owned. They are comfortable all around with a reasonably wide toe box and good cushioning at the top of the tongue and under the ankle. The soles are stiff and took a little while to break in. I still wouldn't say they've "softened" all that much though. The bottom of the shoe is pretty stiff and the inner sole is not very cushy. They are comfortable for wearing all day though. I recently traveled with them for 10 days as my only pair of shoes both walking around town and hiking. So, they're fine. If you like a soft sole or lots of padding though, these are definitely not for you.

The only complaint I have is that these shoes do not breathe well at all. They're mostly a soft leather with a little bit of mesh. The mesh is thick though. My feet get hot in lots of shoes, but these are very hot. The flip side is that they do a decent job of keeping moisture out. During rainy hikes, my feet have stayed pretty dry. For me, the durability is nice. I've beaten up a lot of shoes hiking and I can tell these are going to hold up well. They're very well made and solid.

Overall, I really like these shoes. You just have to be good with the tradeoffs. They choose durability, grip and stiffness over being lightweight and breathable. And I feel like I should repeat that they are not cushy. They have stiff soles, but flex enough to walk around in all day no matter what the terrain. Give them a try if that's what you're after.

good design , the tread is not as soft as some, but that make removing the dirt and debris easier.

Love the entire line of Converse Shoreline!!!

Reviewer Sandra R Byrd

Nice pair of sneakers for this price category. Classic sneaker style. They're not shoes that can handle punishing sports but rather a comfortable casual shoe. I gave them 4 stars because I'm kicking myself for not researching and getting an upgraded version of K Swiss.

Reviewer Charles L Doughty

$13 for a pair of good sneakers, plus I wear a size 13 and the price stay the same, as you know many times when the size increases so does the price

Reviewer B E Warne

Best and most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Loved them so much I ordered 4 more for back ups.

Reviewer Jalynn M Manser

These shoes are carefully packaged for shipping. Each shoe is individually wrapped to hinder any marring or scuffing. The first thing we noticed when we lifted the lid, was the smell of leather. It reminded us of the days when every shoe had that genuine smell. These shoes fit the bill for that casual but dressy occasions. The fit is very comfortable and true to size. Everything appears to be very well made. The craftsmanship is impeccable.
