Made to offer 'next level speed' for runners trying to beat their person best, these lightweight trainers are the perfect choice for anyone who finds themselves walking long distances day-to-day and needs a comfortable, yet stylish, shoe to protect their feet and keep them going. We love the sleek design, with the thick sole adding a unique look to the versatile all-black style.
Much less in price, the Blondo sneakers are a hit with online customers. One purchaser wrote, "They are exactly what I was looking for...casual, slip ons to make any outfit fun! The shoes are well made, very comfortable and WATERPROOF."
