These shoes are not for the Indian roads and also not worth the money. The quality cannot be compared to those of the Caterpillar, Lee Cooper and Red wings. My all time favourite would be the Lee Cooper as the patterns are very sleek and each individual has a choice of patterns to select from. Red Tapes were a craze once upon a time but now I will give them Thumbs down for their sad patterns i.e. why I call them Sad tapes!!! It is now left for you to decide if Red tapes are made for your feet. You can use these shoes while in a fight of to kick some one. They are strong but should be worn by wrestlers and rugby players but not everybody. Till then go RED RIDING with RED TAPE!!!
