User Reviews
I love this shoe. I've bought these for years and keep coming back. I can safely order online without trying them on as the fit is consistent. I do buy an 8 and usually wear a 7.5 in shoes. I've purchased these in grey blue and now all black. They are nice because they have options that don't have 50 colors or a bunch of big logos on the shoe. They never really wear out except for the tred. I still wear the other two previous pairs (one in the yard and the other around, but like to have the new tred and the all black ones look a little dressier for a tennis shoe. I have a good arch and really like these shoes because they have a good arch. The couple little sparkle things on them give them a little bit of a femine look, but they are fully functional for walking, running, etc. Highly recommend.
These tennis shoes are well made. They look good and feel comfortable. A great value.
These are the most comfortable and well fitting shoes I have found in a long time. This is my fourth pair. Awesome fit.
These fit ok but are a little snug, and pinch my small toe, not great for work, walking all day makes my feet ache, after an 8-hour shift. They look exactly like the photo, but this memory foam is less thick and comfortable than others I've had. I am keeping them but not wearing them for work.
The shoes where everything I expected. I wore them for a 12 hour shift and they where great. I suggest walking them in a bit before wearing them for a whole shift. Sizing was right on, a little tight in the toes but walking them in helped with the tightness.
I don't like name brands much but these are so comfortable and the f I am is perfect. They also last. Will definitely buy again.
I like the shoe they are comfortable. I wear them for work to deliver mail. But only last about 8 months and they blow out
I've been wearing these shoes for years, I think more out of habit than anything else. I've become accustomed to the extra height and the little bounce in my step from wearing them. I will say that if you are purchasing them for work, keep in mind the kind of shoes you need. They are not ideal for food service- as they are not slip-resistant at all, and if you are on your feet for extended periods of time and tend to hold your weight in your heel, as I apparently do, you are likely to wear through the interior sole within 8-12 months. I generally have to replace the shoes about once every 12 months or so when these are my "every day shoes". If I have a second pair of shoes I can cycle between, I can generally go 18-24 months depending on the other shoes.I'm not sure how much arch support there actually is. I am not flat footed, but I also don't think I am someone who would have a "high" arch. I do find that these shoes are a bit easier on my knees though. I've had some pretty regular falls over the years with minor to severe sprains and strains and my knees seem to appreciate the extra cushion, especially if I am going to be up and moving around a lot.In general, if you are comfortable with the American Sizes, these fit pretty true to size. If you are going to add any additional inserts (i.e. odor eaters or cushion), I would suggest maybe going half a size bigger, depending on the thickness of the insert.In terms of color, I have owned a few different colors. I purchased the grey and white version last year and most recently purchased the all black. The black pair arrived recently and has kind of a faux suede finish that I'm not eager to wear in the rain. There are little glittery dots like accents around the lace holes on the shoes also. I had't noticed that in the pictures on the product page. They arent gems or anything, more reminiscent of like glitter glue or something. Not quite sure. I found it a little odd.Overall, I'd say if you are a fan of height and kind of a springy sole, I'd recommend these shoes. They are nice to walk in. If you are looking for more of a work out shoe... or a longer lasting support, I'd maybe look for something else.
