Perfect shoes for all-weather Sports, hiking, dancing and anything else that requires a good altering shoe. The Gore-Tex Adidas are the best shoes I've owned in the last 20 years quality made snd built to last. The Swift version has more of a rounded toe where the ax4 has more of a square toe for people that prefer more room.
