Cushioning is the problem for me, the shoe is pretty good in every way, but it's very firm underfoot. So I only used them for casual too, and it's theonly reason I'm trying to get rid of mine.
I like them to hoop in. I have that exact pair, or maybe I ebayd those. I know I still have the black/sandstorm and the Undercrwn versions of that shoe. Infact, I'm going to start hooping in the Undercrwns since they have no resale value
