SLENDID!!! The shoes look great! Orange and pink stand out to say, "look at me I'm special." They relieve the stress off my feet from walking to classes at school; like walking in slippers. These shoes can't be beat for all around style and comfort.

Cute sneaker - I wear these sneakers to work on casual days, and out to dinner and around town. They are so much nicer looking than my running shoes. I have the blue and red pair and they look great with jeans. I wouldn't wear them to actually do sports in though.

Happy Shoes! I always make it a point to own at least one pair of wacky bright-colored shoes per season appropriate for those "I'm happy today" days... and these are them: vivd orange/bloom/gum. There is no possible way to get bummed out wearing orange and pink shoes. Warning: people will notice them. And they will laugh. And then ask you where you got them. I adore these shoes.

I thought the Black/Calvi stripes were white, but they are actually aqua... if you look closely, it has a greenish tint. I would keep them just because they are cute and comfy, but the inner right side dug into my foot as soon as I put them on. Didn't hurt like a bad pair of heels, but I could feel it with every step.

The first time I got in contact with these wonderful shoes was seven years ago. Since then I won´t buy anything else for indoor sports, mainly badminton in my case. If you really want to feel the floor, these are the shoes for you. After a time of usage the soles becomes soft and follow every move from your feet. It´s almost like wearing a second pair of socks. The contact with the floor and the grip is extremely good. Buy two pairs - one for indoor sports and one for casual wear! Warning: These are not for you that must have cushioning systems in your shoes. The soles are made of pure rubber, no Adiprene, no hexalite, no gel, just rubber!

Cute shoes but run big - I ordered these shoes and usually I am a 8 to a 8 1/2 depending on the shoe. I ordered a 8 1/2 and they were HUGE. I also was dissapointed because I thought the "Black/Calvi" color meant black with white stripes. Well they are black with mint stripes which are alright but I would have preferred white stripes...I returned the shoes and got an 8 and they are still a bit big but they are comfy. I received my order super fast too. Besides the color weirdness I am really happy with the shoes and Zappos.

Sweeeeeeet - Love my shoes! I'm an RN and they're very comfy for work--great arch support. Order a full size smaller. Fit is similar to the indoor soccer style "Samoas". Well worth the money--I'm getting them in blue and red next!!

Great sneakers - I love these sneakers. Definitely get at least a half a size smaller. I am normally 8.5 and I have plenty of room in the size 8. I am thinking about getting the orange ones next.
