I am taking two pairs of these (one in gray, one in black) with me on an upcoming trip to Paris - I expect no issues with miles of walking around the city. And Im sure sneakers would look good in there, too. It seems sturdy. I now have absolutely NO pain in this toe, now. The mic quality was really good but hearing the other person was very difficult for me. Easy to fix in the settings, but could confuse some people as to to why their speakers stop working. Love the pockets on the shorts. Exactly what I needed and was very easy to assemble. So I got bought these. These are the best headphones I have ever had.
