In terms of comfort, the integration of the tongue into the upper gives it a sock-like feel that many runners appreciate. It hugs your foot securely, helping to prevent any unnecessary movement within the shoe.
Lastly, for those who are environmentally conscious, knowing that the upper is made from 100% recycled material is a significant bonus.

User Reviews
The sneakers were clearly returned and then sold again. (The original box they came in was a disaster.). But the OC - Swift is an incredible fit, wear, and look. The ankle cut-out is low enough so I do not have any rubbing or chaffing, a real problem with 2 other OC styles. Love this shoe!!!
good shoes
Item came in Home Depot box, appears used. No tags.
Very comfortable and good support for walking. A bit expensive but worth it. The sole is kind of springy when walking. definitely recommend.
Fit well very comfortable collar and weight of shoe was as described
Omg! My feet ache so much at end of day…spent money on home massagers and professional massages even!…These shoes were all I needed! They even support the outer arch of your foot, which I didn’t even realize I needed! Will never buy a different tennis shoe!!
Good quality.
My most comfortable walking shoe
