I purchased these last year from someone who got them from their company for free. As a result, the color and little logo on the side is custom to that company (I have no clue what the company is), which is neat. I used these for their intended purpose as running shoes, but finished the race I had been training for right after buying them, so they don't have many miles on them. Very comfortable, and they have excellent grip/traction in comparison to the 1st generation of the Tree Dasher. I have two other pairs that I still enjoy running in, so I highly recommend giving these a try.
