Ordered these for my son; he loves them. They are very comfortable, stylish enough to wear semi dressed up and meets his school's uniform requirement.

Just got them today. It is Wednesday morning and I ordered them on Monday! I love Zappos and will definitely order from them again. These shoes do run a little more narrow than I thought, but just order half size or maybe even a full size up. I wear size 12 Nikes, but I ordered 13 CR's and they fit just right. These shoes are sick!

Overall:

Although N.Y. may be the fashion capital, the peeps here in Atlanta, have a keen fashion sense and style. We give respect where/when earned and these Creative Recreation commonly known here as (Rec's) get major respect and praise. I humbly started my collection with the Men's tri-tone blue Cesario, I knew it was a men's shoe but after seeing the uniqueness and blue being my fave color in the whole wide world, I made my purchase and never turned back. I now own 5 different pairs and always get 'wow!' looks and compliments every time I wear any pair. I'm not at all being a sneaker wearer, love these on the weekends when I hit Downtown or the malls (a stiletto no-no!), with the versatility of each style and color the wearer definitely stands out in a crowd! I must warn on the side of caution though, this shoe tends to have a slight issue with comfort after about the 5-6 hour of wear or after standing for long periods of time.

Really like the look of these shoes, but the insoles are rock hard, at least after a few wearings. Gel insoles are a must, at least with flat feet like mine--I almost always add gel insoles to my shoes so this isn\'t surprising. Get a larger size--I usually get an 8, maybe 8 1/2, and 9 is fine (a little tight with the gel insoles at first, but that\'ll get better). I really like the style so I\'m willing to break them in. Overall, I\'m pretty happy with these.

These shoes are great. They fit true to size. You can wear 'em with anything. I've matched them with a suit as easily as I match them with jeans & a T-shirt. Very versatile. I plan on getting several more colors. Thanks Zappos!

The shoe is everything I expected. I love this pair so much I also have this Cesario high pair in all black and another in grey, and I have the Dicoco's in grey. But this all white pair is my favorite. It's stylish and comfy; 5 stars for this pair.

Overall:

The shoes look great but they do run a half size smaller than typical Creative Recs, I assume due to the material used. If you get the wrong (ie; your normal) size, trust me, you WILL notice a difference. Just go a half size bigger and you will be fine.

The shoes are great. I ordered a 1/2 size up and the fit just right. Almost no arch, which is okay for me because my last shoes were Chuck Taylors. Very stylish :)

I think you might want to get the high top Cesarios, just not in black (get the hi tops because they're better for your feet). Don't get black ones because you'll get made fun of; trust me I know what I'm doing.

I ordered the black on black hi top ones and I thought they were pretty cool. Then someone saw breaking them in and he/she said they look like biker boots because of the metal parts. Then I took a good look at them and said the metal parts do make the shoes look like biker boots.

These kicks are tight! They've got a unique look to them that are worth the 2nd glance. Sport the with some dark jeans and black t-shirt/polo, and you'll be ready to rock the mic/club/lounge/bar, or old-school house party. Don't scuff 'em though, it won't only ruin your night, the tough exterior can actually dent if rubbed hard enough. Make sure you sport 'em right: clean with a black on black First&15th Fitted.

This is my "umpteenth" pair of Creative Recreations. This shoe is made for those of us with style and class. Created for both dress and sport, what more can you ask for?! These are designed to help you "sneak" your way in clubs that don't allow sneaks. They are so very versatile. For me the brand fits true to size. I wear a 12 and order a 12 and was fine.

Okay, so here's the dealy. I love these shoes, I have a pair of yellow/lime color ones from a release a few years ago. I love the attention they get, the hot colors, the way that I can accessorize my clothes around my shoes rather than the other way around. But they are quite uncomfortable. I have the low top Cesario, too, and they are equally uncomfortable. They are very stiff and pinch my toes and I don't have wide feet or anything. They are like a great pair of heels that are hot as all to wear but they got a staying-on-your-foot life of only a couple hours without the blisters forming. I still will buy these shoes for the style, but I just don't wear them anywhere that I'm going to be on my feet for a while. Luckily, I'm the type of girl that wears a hot pair of sneakers with a great outfit, even a dress, for formal wear rather than heels.

Great shoes! I ordered the tan/brown pair, and they look great. I ordered a half size up and they fit perfectly snugly. They\'re really comfortable despite minimal padding. They\'ve got pretty thin soles, and they almost feel like slippers to wear.

I loved everything about the purchase of shoes for my son. The price was right, the delivery time was great! I will definitely purchase in the future from Zappos. This was my first purchase and would highly recommend to friends and family.

These sneakers are so cool! I love them. I get compliments on them each time I wear them. I have wide feet though so I had to get a half size bigger than what I wear. Overall, though, these are some of the best sneakers I own.

Nice shoes, indeed. I usually wear 8, and I ordered 8.5 and they are ok, 9 would have been too large. They are very well crafted: good leather, neat sewing.

Overall:

Bought these shoes since it had a different (but still nice) look from Creative Recreations two big guns which are the Cesario and Cesario Lo. The shoe though is sort of a mix of Creative Rec's Cesario Lo and Dechico. I love the brand but this brand has some issues with comfort. It's a bit stiffer than the average comfort of a pair of Nike's or Adidas. I have the Cesario, Cesario Lo, Dechico, Dicoco, and Ponti's and they are all stiff. I'm basing their comfort to a pair of Retro Jordan's and Retro Air Max's I wear.

Awesome shoe!! It goes with everything jeans, shorts. It is a little uncomfortable at first but, just don’t lace it up to the metal parts and wear it around a lot to get used to it. Zappos is the best online retailer ever.

Overall:

I was searching for a new brand of shoe when I came upon Creative Recreation. They truly are creative when it comes to their shoes. The look of the Cesario drew me in at first sight. When I popped these babies on, I was surprised by the narrow, stiff feeling. After a day of walking in them, they seemed to fit a bit better, but to this day, they still feel too stiff for my comfort. I rate this shoe high for its style, but the feel and comfort level is pretty low. Definitely wear these for a night out, but save your feet by only wearing these shoes for some sort of special occasion.

Reviewer: Adam W. from Chicago, Illinois

Overall:

The style and design of these shoes are the reasons I purchased them. I get a lot of positive comments about them from other people too. Unfortunately, they're not walking a mile in my shoes. If they were, they'd realize that these shoes provide little comfort. I normally wear a size 12 in dress shoes and 13 in tennis shoes. After reading a previous review that suggested ordering a size up, I went with the 13. There is more space than I anticipated and it probably has to do with there being no support or padding anywhere in the shoes. Overall, the shoes are stylish and I enjoy wearing them out if they fit with certain attire, but they are not the shoe you're going to wear all day to do anything active. When you buy this shoe online, what you see is what you get; and that's it.

The shoes look great. I got numerous compliments from everyone on how great the shoes look. The only bad thing is they provide no comfort at all! I walk around a lot instead of driving and these provide no support at all. My feet had blisters and were aching like nothing else after a few hours.
