All writing on shoe looks good to excellent. Shoe itself looks good. I bought these used and decided to go with a lighter shoe. These are light, but not like my Altra's. I did not run in these and only intended to hike in them. Wore them to the store a couple of times and they felt perfect/very comfortable. Something about them tells me they have not been worn much, but they are not my style. Each shoe weighs less than 1 pound.
