DC Men's Trase Slip-On TX Skate Shoe Review

I read the reviews on these shoes, and with them being such a great deal, I took the advice given and purchased them one whole size larger than I normally would have. I always wear an 8.5 in women's. These sizes are men's. So naturally I would have normally purchased a size 7 in men's in order to get an 8.5 in women's. Since these ran so small, I ordered a size 8 in men's to get a 9.5 in women's. They fit but are very snug. I wish I would have ordered a 9 in men's to fit my 8.5 size feet. That would have been perfect. So if you wear an 8.5 in women's...order a 8.5 or 9! They will fit perfectly. As for the quality, they are perfect. Comfortable and very stylish. 5 stars for the quality. I wish it wasn't so darn hard to get the perfect size. Goodness gracious! Haha!

I read the reviews about this shoe running small but I still went ahead and bought a pair in my actual size. The thing is, these shoes are long and narrow but they are actually sized right for girls. I wear a size 8 for open shoes and sneakers and 8.5 for boots. The first time I tried on the shoes, the left shoe was a perfect fit but just a bit tight but the right one was extremely tight, not because they were designed differently but because my right foot reacts negatively to summer heat. So I embraced the pain and since the shoe wasn't as tight on my left foot, I knew they would work eventually. I've danced in them twice since I got them and the tension is completely gone and my feet don't hurt either. The shoe is still intact, no damage was done and it finally has the nice used look I like on all my sneakers. You'll definitely love them and get lots of complements.

I am five foot seven inches and normally wear a size nine shoe, which I purchased here. The shoe has a very snug fit and is obviously very easy to slip on. These shoes are very comfortable and can be worn all day if necessary. My one downside with these shoes are that they start to get a little tight when worn with thicker socks. The material is textile and is fairly easy to clean, the sole is made out of rubber. The collar is padded and has an elastic gored at entry. I would recommend these to anyone, maybe ordering a 1/2 size bigger than they normally wear, for every day use and especially skating!

These shoes are great, but be careful on sizing. I usually wear Adidas or Nike. Based on some reviews, I chose to match my order to my Nike size. ***Edit - after wearing these shoes for 3 weeks, I am convinced I have the right size.The DC shoes run a little smaller than Nikes, which in my experience have always consistently run small. I'd go up 1/2 size from Adidas or the same as Nike (I'm 11 in Adidas and 11.5 in Nike). DC shoes I ordered are 11.5, and they are tight (but wearable). ***Edit - after some wear they are comfortable with any socks. I'm glad I kept them.The slip ons are great - and the sole has excellent grip. I just wanted comfortable slip ons...I don't skate, but if I did I'm sure that would be a plus.

As stated myriad times throughout these review pages, these shoes run very small. They look great but it's as if the manufacturer used a cardboard cut-out of a foot to determine size. They're long enough but there's no height for an actual human foot. And this is not "break them in" territory. Breaking them in would require cutting an opening across the top of the shoe so that your toe knuckles have a chance to flex.I heeded the advice of others here and bought a 9.5, a half size larger than what I'm comfortable wearing. I was able to pull the shoe on but walking was a no go. I'm sending the order back and going up by another half size. They're good-looking shoes made from quality material so I'm willing to try one more time in hopes that they fit correctly. Stay tuned.

I haven't worn these for an extended period of time, but they fit great, but I also have small feet. They do run a bit small and narrow. I was looking for a white shoe and also needed a good looking sneaker for my wardrobe. This bad boy is sleek and doesn't have any hoopla to distract. I am usually quite anti-sneaker, but these are proper. The only other white shoes you find in this size are dressy-dressy shoes that you wear when you want to initiate a conversation with that cheeky co-worker you've been too shy to talk to all year, but then finally have the confidence at the New Year's Eve party. But these shoes allow for a nice white shoe that aren't dressed up too much. I am as happy as a ripened peach with this product.

My review is based on sizing only and is not a review of product wear or comfort. I saw the product note that these shoes run a little small. I normally wear a 10.5, however, based on the notes, I ordered an 11M. These shoes came so small and narrow that I couldn't begin to get my feet in to try them on. I will be reordering these, but as a size 12M or 12.5M, 1.5 to 2 sizes larger than my normal shoe size. What good is a sizing standard if you can't use it? DON"T ORDER THESE SHOES WITHOUT FREE RETURNS.

I followed the advise of ordering a larger size, and ordered a full size larger than I normally wear. Fits perfectly. My new temple shoes in white. Snug yet flexible shoe. Well built, and should be a long lasting shoe. Has a flat rubber sole that has a non slip treaded surface. I have to pick up my feet when walking on carpeted surfaces, so I don't stumble. Great shoe for those who need a shoe for slippery surfaces, like wood or tile floors and stairs. Probably not a good shoe for those who shuffle when they walk.
