I got these to replace the Nike Lunarglides, which I really liked. I needed a walking shoe, not running. These are good for driveway workouts like jump rope, jumping jacks, box jumps, etc. I do not like these for walking. They are extremely light and very snug around the mid foot. They feel great wearing around the house. Runners may like these for distance. But I would rather have the lunar glides back. The Odyssey React is a slipper.
