Is this a running shoe?

No. It is a casual lifestyle sneaker with an EVA midsole and rubber outsole. It works for walking and everyday wear, not for distance running or training.

How does the sizing run?

It is listed in standard US men's sizes from 7 to 13, including half sizes. Dockers casual shoes generally fit true to size, so start with your usual sneaker size.

Is the upper breathable?

The knit fabric upper is the breathable part, with leather and synthetic panels for structure. Expect more airflow than an all-leather shoe but less than a mesh running shoe.

Can I wear these with dressier outfits?

The white and beige colorways and leather accents make them more versatile than a gym shoe. They pair well with chinos and jeans but are still casual.

What is the platform like?

The platform rubber outsole sits slightly higher than a flat sneaker sole. That adds a little height and cushioning, though it makes the shoe a bit heavier than a low-profile canvas sneaker.
