my new BIOM Train in white - silver are my third pair of this kind I own them in berry and black for two years and have finally found a shoe that fully met my various needs.. When running, Nordic walking and hiking in flat terrain it is maintenance, is non-slip and so light that the legs do not get tired. When cycling he is sufficiently stable and does not slip off the pedals. Even while shopping or at the office, with or without bearing deposits, there is no bruising or burning feet. The BIOM Train always cuts a fine figure. Have him each a number greater than bought.
