In order to help avoid foot sweat and odor, the Talas shoes are equipped with cooling mesh panels at the front and sides of each shoe. The Kinetic Wedge insole, a hallmark of the Shape-Ups line, is also present on the Talas. This midsole absorbs the impact of each step, and so helps to prevent running and walking strain. The sculpted rubber outsole provides lots of traction, and also promotes natural propulsion, so that you do not have to work as hard to get around. There are color and size options available for the Skechers Shape-Ups Talas men's training shoes.
