This is my first casual shoe review, so the formatting may be a bit different than normal boot reviews.
Comfort
At first glance, these shoes appeared to be slightly uncomfortable due to the sole, which slightly resembled that of a indoor shoe, but flat (no arch). This worried me, but I found that these shoes were extremely comfortable over time. The flat sole proved to not be a problem, and I found that it flexed well when I was walking. The upper is very soft and provides for a good feel. I'm not sure if these would be suitable for indoor soccer, but I could see them serving that double purpose role for some. These shoes fit true to size, and are a little wide, giving your foot a lot of room to breath. I really enjoyed that aspect of the shoe. Overall though, these are one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I've ever owned, and this quality continues to build upon the excellence Pele Sports has put out.
Style/Design
This has been an aspect that I've always been impressed with by Pele Sports. For example, their Trinity 3E still stands as one of the most simple yet stylish looking releases I've seen. The Armador wasn't as profound, but still impressed me with its simple color scheme and unique designs. The print on the sole is very unique and different (pictured above), considering most shoes don't feature any design on the sole. The colors work well together, but I think Pele Sports could have been slightly more creative with this release. Don't get me wrong, the colors work well together, but I was slightly disappointed with the lack of creativity.
Performance
This category may be slightly vague, due to the fact that these shoes served no other purpose than everyday shoes. That being said, they were a great pair of everyday shoes! I thoroughly enjoyed wearing them, and they provided a great amount of comfort, support, and style. These definitely aren't meant for trekking through snow/rain however, as I found they got wet very easily. But I'm sure one can use common sense and see that these are primarily meant for indoor wear, so I don't take anything away from them because of that. Of course, as with any shoe, you are going to experience your normal wear and tear, and the Armador held up just like any other high quality shoe.Overall, these shoes performed very well, and I was extremley satisfied.
Pros: Great comfort, style and overall performance
Cons: Slightly bland colorway. Nothing else really!
Verdict
Pele Sports have once again satisfied with a great release. The Armador is a great combo of style, comfort and fit, and I would HIGHLY recommend these to anyone who is looking for a great pair of everyday shoes.
