Not squishy. Work for what I wanted. I bought these shoes for my Wedding rehearsal dinner party. Seriously can amazon get any better?! Ive opted to move up to the Evolve 75, despite its stereo headphones, hoping the higher price translates to higher audio quality. Now the clip that holds the ankle strap broke so the only option is to wear it without an ankle strap which is not practical for me. It feels like it doesn’t fit so I can’t imagine anyone with size 8 enjoying it. Not wide enough. The bike wheels are all 26 inch. I was medicated.
