Nike Waffle Trainer 2 'White Black'

This shoe is lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day when working in a retail environment on cement floors. That being said, I did start to feel like I was getting pressure spots after a short while, so I rotated which shoes I was wearing out after my shifts and only could wear these every few days or so in order to not irritate the balls of my feet. I wish that there was more cushion in the soles of the shoe.I like the amount of traction provided by the waffle style sole. Even in my hectic work environment, I never worried about losing my footing . The fit was always comfortable at the beginning of the day as well, so they always sprang back to their initial shape/mold well.My biggest dislike was the exposed foam on the tongue of the shoe - ... MoreThis shoe is lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day when working in a retail environment on cement floors.

The rest of the show was sleek and the exposed foam looked unfinished and cheap.

Classic lowkey throwback

Thought this was a great pair of kicks. Was looking for something to wear at work that is lowkey and doesn't stand out too much as athletic or screams out "sneakerhead" (despite me being a sneakerhead!). This was it. I've gotten compliments with this style in particular and the colorway is very subtle that it goes well with anything. The shoe itself fits alright but it is pretty long in that regards. Not too narrow and it isn't too much of a problem to me. Though there is a thumbs length of space between the tip of the shoe and my toe. If you want a more fitted fit with no wiggle room I'd recommend going a half-size down.

Comfy shoes!

When I got these shoes, I was a little skeptical, as I have wide feet and these shoes did not look like they would be comfortable. I also wasn't sure about the tongue of the shoe. Welllllllll, my wide feet be damned, these shoes fit great! They were comfortable and did not squish my feet like I thought they would, and the tongue of the shoe isn't uncomfortable (though I do think the foam look is a little strange). I was trying not to mess them up or get them dirty, but there was some surprise rain and puddles I couldn't avoid, and they were fine- they didn't get gross or more wet than any other regular shoe. I also have 2 small children and I am stepped on fairly often, and the shoes held up even with them running over me- no damage, rips, not even dirt stains.

I usually wear low socks, and the only thing I would recommend with these is to wear socks just a teensy bit higher, as the back rubbed on the back of my ankle if my socks were too short (but it wasn't bad). I wasn't sure about these at first but I really do love them!

Interesting but Odd

I love wearing these to work they do not hurt my feet. These sneakers have support and are comfortable with a classic silhouette that just seems unfinished. The sole is comfortable and the upper build is light and breathable, but the tongue seems unfinished. For as much as the shoe looks uniform and finished, the tongue looks like an afterthought. It honestly looks like a kitchen sponge attached to the shoe. They are almost perfect, but the tongue just sorely sticks out. The sneakers are super comfortable as an everyday shoe or as a lifestyle shoe with a glaring weird tongue. I guess avoid wearing shorts.

Modern Construction With A Throwback Style

These are the versatile shoes that I have been waiting for—they look just as good when worn with a pair of jeans on casual Friday as they do in the gym for a workout. One knock against this shoe is the decision to leave the foam in the tongue exposed. I understand it was an intentional decision but it makes the show look a little tattered and less polished in my opinion. This is easily covered when worn with a pair of pants, but it stands out when worn to the gym with shorts.The fit is spot on for a Nike shoe, which in my opinion means about a half size too small. I went a half size up from my normal non-Nike shoe size and these fit like a glove. The nylon and suede construction is durable and resists wear-and-tear quite well based on my weeks of testing.All day ... MoreThese are the versatile shoes that I have been waiting for—they look just as good when worn with a pair of jeans on casual Friday as they do in the gym for a workout.

Though they don’t look as plush as some of Nike’s running shoes, I found no issues spending 10+ hours in these for a day in the office. It’s worth noting though that these shoes did not breathe well and my feet do end up getting a little sweatier when wearing these. Nothing that would keep these out of my lineup, but noteworthy if this was going to be a daily show for me. It’s also worth noting that the tread on these shoes is fine for regular use but I did find that they had somewhat limited traction when walking on wet tile. Other shoes provide a more sure-footed grip on similar conditions so just be aware and choose accordingly.

Shocking!

This was my first time wearing some Nike waffles and I was a little hesitant with breaking them in while on a international road trip but the smarts thing for me was to wear them! I was beyond shock that there was no foot pain or anything breaking in some new shoes while traveling. A huge plus was the durability and the lightness of the shoes. Went over 45,000 steps for 6 days consecutively and they still look new. For these being the first time ever wearing them it definitely will not be my last pair! And I will def recommend them to my fellow traveling peers. Especially when out and about you want something that had a good fit and feel which this gave.

Stylish, comfortable, amazing shoes

These shoes fit true to size and are so comfortable. I love that I can wear them to work as well as the gym. I’ve received so many compliments on them as well. The design was well thought out- a real multi functional shoe. I wore these shoes all day- from work to happy hour to the gym and they kept my feet comfortable and happy the entire time! My favorite feature is the versatility and the fact they are my most comfortable work shoes. If I could change anything I would love for some elastic laces so I can quickly slip them on and off. #dadlife
