Nice purchase
I purchased the yellow-gold color trail sneakers. I run on the road in these. They aren’t very cushiony but comfortable enough not to feel pebbles/rocks and hard pounding under your feet while jogging through my neighborhood.

Highly recommend
These shoes are so soft and comfortable with a great grip. Trekked half-way to Everest base camp and back with these shoes. They are not dirt proof though 😂

Good grip
Very happy, good grip. Just a lttle stiff and not super comfy. Hopefully they soften up.
