What sort of running shoes can you expect to get for just £7.68 (plus £1.65 shipping)? Well, if you don't expect too much you will not be disappointed here as these shoes are rather better than you might think.
In the packet, I received the shoes and nothing more, no box, labels, tags or care guide, Just the shoes. The build quality seems OK, at least at first sight. The shoes seem reasonably well made, the seams all seem good and tight and there are no hanging threads. Leaving aside the sizing - and more on that later - the shoes are pretty comfortable, well padded, light on the foot and enjoyable to wear. I would not want to run a marathon or anything more than a short distance in them, but for general leisure wear, they seem fine.
Sizing is the real problem and one which the manufacturers have tried to address on the AliExpress product page. There are detailed instructions and fitting charts but although I was careful to measure my feet and follow the chart exactly, the shoes I received were still a bit tight. I hope they will expand a bit with use! My advice would be to measure your feet carefully, study the sizing guide and then select at least one size larger. If the chart says size 38 then select size 39 or even 40 and then they may fit.
As a former keen runner myself I would not want to run any great distance in these. Not because they are bad as such, but because I would not trust them on a long run. There is nothing worse than being 10 miles from home in shoes that are pinching, uncomfortable or with loose soles.
If you need a cheap pair of lightweight shoes for casual use or light sporting activities then for the price these would be a very decent buy.
