With its knack for avoiding getting dirty, the Lacoste Europa is a fantastic alternative to the Gripshot. And if it's commendable arch support you require, skip the featured sneaker for the GREATS Royale.

Something tremendously supple
The Gripshot, based on many reviews, deserves a 10 out of 10 in terms of comfort. Supporting this statement are remarks such as "a real pleasure to wear," "premium feel," and "sensationally comfortable!"
Provides a great fit by default
Its interior is spot-on, and many reviewers agree. Comments like "they fit so well" and "fitted as it should be" give credence to their observation.
Be wary of sweat
It's been reported that the Lacoste Gripshot gets grungy way too soon. It "gets dirty a lot," says a sneakerhead. Another reviewer says that some of the shoe's eyelets leave a black stain on both the laces and the canvas upper. He's "disappointed with this purchase," says he.
Crafted to impress
Sneakerheads are smitten by the flawless build of the Gripshot. "What amazing quality and design," says one of them. "Beautiful finish," says another.
The Lacoste Gripshot's master-level tenacity
This flexible offering from Lacoste, according to testers, is incredibly grippy. Their observation is supported by comments like "comfortable with a good grip on the feet" and "they stick well to the ground."

"The most versatile shoe you can have in your wardrobe" is what a long-time Lacoste fan calls the Gripshot. He says that it simply works for cold or hot days, casual events, and even dinner outs. Another one says that it's "perfect for work or play."
Your low-cost Lacoste piece
Considering that the Gripshot comes from a luxurious brand, it's shocking (but in a good way) to know that it's not expensive at all. Its 90-dollar asking price is $28 more affordable compared with most casual sneakers.
Not the most supportive around the arch
Try not to use the Gripshot for busy days where you're expected to be on your feet all day, as it doesn't have a lot of arch support. You may, however, replace its footbed with a more supportive insert if preferred.
