Excelent shoes!! They have an unique and incredible looking! Are very confortable too. Althoug they are a bit heavy, they still get 5 stars. One of the best Oakley footwear

I have the Nail mid and since I am so happy with it in style and function, when it was time to retire the Nail I wanted to get something similiar. When Teeth was released I knew it was the next best thing. A sound and equal if not better shoe to take over for the Nail.

Just a GREAT shoe!!

I've got the laceless teeth, and have been very happy with them. The blue teeth that I have present a bit of a neoprene/wetsuit look to the shoe, which is nice to have something different. Great fit, very comfy.

I love these, best footwear I've ever owned. Everyone comments on the looks, as they are great, and I've had them quite a while and they still look the same as when I bought them.

Color: Black/red combo
There are complaints that I have with this shoe after having owned them for a few days. Other than that, they have got to be the best walking/runnign shoes I've had. Ever.

First, I don't really like the red 'teeth' on the rubber. But that's merely a preference.

We're talking about a guy who prefers the X-Metal/Black Iridium color combo over all the rest for his X-Metals.

I DO like the fact that the entire bottom of the shoe is made of one piece rubber. That way, I'm not going to have that retarded problem I had with my old Sketchers: they used to squeak all the time when water go in them.

The other thing I don't like is this, and it has a little less to do with preference than the first complaint.

Today I was hiking in these things. It had just rained pretty heavily the night before and the trail had gotten pretty muddy. By the time I had gotten to the bottom of the hill, my soles and tread were completely filled with thick grainy mud--only the red 'teeth' were still visible.

Ironically, this never happend with my Sketchers boots.

I think the problem lies with Oakley's very agressive, very large surface area under it's industrial/assault footwear. Crap loves to hide in it. I had to wash it off in a creek before I walked into the house. So, while the tread is great in dry situations, beware---you might lose your traction in mildly wet to absolutely soaking dirt and mud.
