Wow, these shoes are just so fresh. They look great; the feel is great; they sit well with jeans; overall just amazing shoes. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to go beyond the candy colored kicks that are popular today. They're a little bit pricey, but well worth it. My only gripe is that the inside of the tongue is white, and it's gotten stained a little bit blue from my pants. It's hardly noticeable, and it's basically my fault though! As always, Zappos was right on point with super fast shipping.

The shoes are spectacular! They do seem to fit a half size smaller, but I am not sure if that's the problem. The shoes are pretty narrow so there is pressure on my pinky and big fat toes, but buying a 9 rather an 8 1/2 may have helped. I hope wearing them out here and there will eliminate the tension. Overall I am happy with them. I will be buying more Clae shoes in the future, at least a half size bigger.

Clae Russel - I purchased these shoes after seeing a write up of the company on a fashion blog. I am very pleased with the look and feel of these shoes and I plan on ordering more Claes in the future. I have worn them a few times and they are just starting to break in. If you have a wide foot, you might need to order a 1/2 size bigger because they are a bit narrow.

Just got the navy size 8 in these kicks. I read the reviews of the Russell and I have to confirm the sizing. It is a bit smaller than the standard sizing measurements...so get a 1/2 size bigger. Other than that, they're everything I expected. Great shoe, I hope Clae introduces new colours to the market...classic sneaker !!!

Perfect casual sneaker, I bought the forest green Russell all-leather as soon as Clae came back from their hiatus and bought the black canvas/leather colorway as soon as their second collection hit stores. I must say the leather looked great but the canvas/leather definitely keeps their freshness longer. They run narrow so pick a larger size if possible, I'm a sz 13 so that's not an option but it’s not the end of the world, just a little cramped after a long day. Well worth it still.

Can't go wrong with this pick - Simply put, these shoes are like a great wine. They come too fresh right out the box, yet somehow once they have been broken in the comfort seems to become superb, molding to the contours of your foot. Classic look using the most subtle of details and the best of materials, Clae has really outdone their selves this time.

Straight Dope. Couldn't be more satisfied with these kicks. I am definitely buying another pair of Clae's in the future. And I'm definitely happy that the size 10 and 11 were sold out because the 11.5 shoes fit my feet perfectly! I was surprised that they weren't too big at all.

Great shoe - I fell in love with these shoes the minute they dropped. A bit spendy, but you get your value! They were pretty snug the first couple days so they have to be broken in pretty well, but I can wear these shoes all day long. Most stylish, comfortable daily I have ever owned.

Style in Simplicity - I purchased the black pair a while back and love this shoe. A simple and clean look that goes with every outfit. The quality is top notch and comfortable to wear.

Beautiful Shoe, Uncomfortable Fit - Theses shoes are definitely worth buying if you have a size 12 or less. Although all of my shoes are 13s, theses seem to fit very tight around the toes. Thus, a 1/2 size larger or even full size larger fit is required to make these shoes fit comfortably. Wearing a 13 in the Russell can be a very painful process if your foot is a size 13 in most shoes.
