That was untill the Salomon expert lows came in delivery one day, walking shoes are normally bulky looking and not at all attractive but these are really nice, my ones are light grey,dark grey and black, they have mesh panels and suede panels with a rubber rand around the toe.
The mesh panels are for breathabilitly, but they don't have a breathable or wickable lining, so my feet do get quite hot but a pair of wicking socks like coolmax normally sort that out, the downside of the mesh is that if it rains the water gets in easy as they don't have a waterproof lining, spraying them will make them resistant to water but stepping...

Review of Mongoose 2001 Rogue by
epsym
Advantages: strong, light, cheap
Disadvantages: not that good parts.
...this here is the mongoose rogue bmx. now where do i start i have one off these and they are exellent bikes and as cheap as they are thats even better. they have a full cro-mo frame and fork cro-mo handle bars and loads of added extra's like tough double walled wheels, 36 - 13 tooth gearing, cassete hub and the newer models come with colour coded grips and pedals. it comes in a range of colours (black and red) lol..
one off the great things about this bike though has to be if you are a bmx enthusiast you can go out and buy new parts for it like stronger wheels lighter forks and things like that. i garuntee you that you will have loads of fun with this bike and hours off enjoyment....
