Lafuma Lady X-Light Trail Running Shoe - 2008 BCS

What do the words "deep steel" mean to you? A combination of grays and perhaps black?

Apparently the Lafuma translation of Deep Steel is pink.

These shoes are PINK!

I'll save my tirade about how I feel about pink in general. Buyers beware: Unless you are in the market for pink and lavender shoes, skip these.

I am a fussy shoe wearer. These shoes are very comfortable. VERY. VERY. It takes a few times to get used to putting them on as they have an elasticized gussetted tongue that you have to put your foot through--like putting on a sock. So you need both hands to put them on. But,I can wear them all day long and not have to kick them off to "rest" my feet. I stand all day long, often on a ladder. My arch supports slip inside easily. I like the dual lacing system which lets me adjust the width of the shoe all the way from toe to ankle. I have a little trouble keeping the lacing "hardware" tucked under the tongue collar, so I just tuck it under the laces to keep it from popping up. I'm pleased with these shoes, they do not look bulky, are very stable from side to side, and are not at all heavy. And, again, these are COMFORTABLE! If they ever wear out, I will get another pair of them.

I have these shoes. They are VERY comfortable. VERY. VERY. I have room for my arch supports. I can wear these all day without having to kick them off to "rest" my feet. I stand all day long, often on a ladder, so comfort is a necessity. Lacing is good, but the closure hardware doesn't stay tucked under the flap for me, so I just tuck it under the laces. If I wear out this pair, I would get another pair just like them !
