These are my first Adidas. I am happy they were on sale because I would of returned them - they are noisy when I walk - you can hear fabric crunching - I hope this fades. I really need a super comfy casual shoe for spontaneous walks - my chucks were killing my feet, forget the heavy Vans pop cush too.. I need an elevated heel - so I have been wearing runners - but they are hard to style and it makes this mom - feel like a mom. They look amazing to style so if they pass the long wear test and the crunching goes away I will change my review to all stars :)
