I haven’t been so comfy in a new pair of shoes since the Nike Waffle One; As someone with flat feet, over pronation, and out toeing, it sucks trying to find not only aesthetically pleasing sneakers, but also comfortable ones. And these DN8, just like the Waffle One are just perfect! With the Waffle One, I need an insole to feel comfortable to the max, but these DN8 have a low heel, high arch insole which have my feet sitting comfortably. I will probably end up getting more colorways.

Maxxed Out Motion

Myself and my husband absolutely love these shoes. We haven't worn them yet but can't wait. I have small feet 6.5-7 in women and can never have matching shoes with my husband. Found these saw that the smallest size was a 6 checked the size chart it said I should be able to fit them and I COULD!!! I'm so excited to wear them next month on our trip.

The picture does them no justice. They are very comfortable and I have a wide foot. Waiting on more hot colors like this.
