Great!

For those who call themselves comfort purists, the Maestro Mid Eco just might be the next best thing. However, the shoe begs to be appreciated in the performance area as well. Indeed, this is a smearing champ that does wonders on the edges. It also handles cracks like a boss. The only thing that prevents the shoe from reveling in perfection is its steep price tag.
