No. They are lifestyle sneakers styled like athletic shoes. The mesh upper and rubber sole suit walking and casual wear, not training or distance running.

How does the fit run?

They run true to standard US sizing for most buyers. The lace closure lets you tighten the fit, and the textile upper has little stretch, so stick with your usual size.

How do they compare with Prada's leather sneakers?

The textile pair is lighter and more breathable. Leather versions hold their shape better and clean up more easily, but they are heavier and warmer.

Can the mesh upper be cleaned?

Yes, but gently. Brush off dry dirt, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, and air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing, which can distort the shape.
