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.

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.

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.

Really Surprised Me, First Time Buyer - I was kind of worried because I have flat feet. It only took them a day to get to me. As soon as I got them, I tried them on and fell in love. Like some people have said, they are a little rough on the ankles, but you don't have to tie them all the way up. If you stop lacing them before the metal hooks, you will be alright. A definite buy. I tried to find some more in a 14, but haven’t had much luck. I will definitely continue using this sight to find my shoes. They are the real deal.

Black on Black and White on White - The black on blacks are the slickest looking pair of black shoes ever!!!! It felt like they were a 1/2 size too big. My order was changed to overnight for free!!!! The white on white are very nice looking shoes that can be worn with anything. They were a perfect fit. The shoes are very nice and the service at Zappos is wonderful.

Additional Brand Information

Creative Recreation was launched in the fall of 2002 in order to fill a void in the footwear market. Up until this time, no one was offering footwear to young professionals with style. The three founders set out to innovate the market and were able to incorporate the comfort of an athletic shoe with the materialization of a dress shoe to create the ultimate crossbreed, resulting in the Creative Recreation men’s and Creative Recreation women’s shoe collection.

Creative Recreation sneakers grew from the concept that this generation wasn’t going to follow the same old well-traveled roadmaps of previous times. A new journey beckoned for Creative Recreation shoes: to embrace fashion-freedom with a design approach that blurs the rules.

Creative Recreation shoes follow their own lines. Imaginative and original, Creative Recreation sneakers will bring amusement to your senses.

Creative Rec. Cesario - I received the all black Cesario, but they were still great. I didn't know that the shoe structure was so fragile, but that just means handle with care. It fits well, and looks even better!

Just got these shoes from the UPS guy a few minutes ago. They are absolutely adorable and SO comfortable...only problem is that they feel about a half size too big! I ordered a 7 since that's what I bought in the pair of Keen boots I ordered last winter. Since most people mentioned that they ran small, I stuck with the 7. I really think that 6 1/2 would work better. Still trying to decide if I'm going to return them...

Sick, comfortable, good-looking sneakers! I recently discovered these sneakers while I was browsing at a mall. They only had the black with white outsole Low top cesario. I went online and found them here at a good price. Unique, stylish comfortable sneakers that makes you look different and not like no other. I recommend that you look for these at a local store to find out your size and then buy which ever color here.

Fresh kicks, beware of the size! Good looking sneakers... easy to dress up or down. Good quality. They run nearly one size smaller than the size on the box. I am a 10.5 in most other brands, but I have to buy an 11.5 in the Creative Recs... BEWARE! Otherwise I think I may have found one of my favorite new brands.

Pretty Sweet - So before I bought these shoes, I read all of the reviews posted about them. Many people commented on how they are uncomfortable and stiff around the ankle. Well, this is true. After the first day of wearing them laced nice and tight, my ankles were sore and swollen. After the second day showed no improvement, I just decided not to lace them all the way and they still stayed on fine. Now they are my favorite shoes. Moral: don't waste time and sacrifice comfort, just don't lace them to the top.

I got the multisplatters - The shoes quality is good. These shoes look built to last but I’m not one who takes all shoes to the limit, only certain sneakers. The style I purchased is cool they get attention and turn heads; most styles of the Cesario shoes do. The comfort level I give them a 3.75/5 they are comfortable but the shoe is a little thin and they run about a 1/8 to1/4 size small. It may not sound like a lot but when u put them on for the first time u will feel a very slight tightness at the toe if u buy your exact size. They don't have half sizes.

These shoes look pretty awesome. I am not used to high-topped shoes, so they took some getting used to for comfort and a little longer to break in than my shoes usually do. I like these shoes a lot.

Sweet looking torture device - Enough space length-wise, but these shoes are super-narrow. Not just that, but the hi-top design is stiff and uncomfortable. Still, they look pretty sweet. I'm willing to trade in a little comfort for looks - returning the hi-tops and getting a pair of low top Creative Recs instead.

Slick kicks! I just received them a few mins ago. 1) Zappos kicks butt!! It came within a day. 2) These sneakers look great! The fit is a lil stiff but I just got them and they’re not broken in. But I’m assuming, based on the material that it won’t break in too much. The comfort of it is similar to Diesels and a lil better than Converse. The size of them is the same as my Nike Dunks. They are just a tad narrower in the front.

I feel like Moon Walking! These are my new favorite shoes! I buy a lot of “different” sneaks to keep fresh and original. People who are on the "Nike" kick don't really look twice at me, but people with style keep asking me bout my CRs! Just need a little breaking in. LOVE THEM! HOT!

Stiff feeling but still cool - I was totally excited to find this shoe in a smaller size (I am a girl). Most cool high tops only go to men's 8 or so. Anyhow, the colors are rad... I have the pair with blue suede. My complaint is that they are really thin and stiff feeling. Not much cushiness on the bottom or sides. I would describe them as very low profile. The ankle area is so stiff that I had actual bruising around my leg where the top of the shoe hit! They are broken in now and are more comfortable... they do look cool, but are more 'city shoe' then I had expected.

Sweetest shoes I’ve ever seen. This shoe looks so good it hurts. I love the way the velcro strap feels on my foot. I like to call this an "alien athletic shoe". That’s my kind of shoe. Its like an athletic hiking shoe too. I love all of the different colors this shoe comes in; it took me a lot of debating to finally settle on the one for me. I love them; so far I only wear them on special occasions. As a first time Zappos shopper I loved my experience, I really appreciated other feedback about the shoe too. I normally wear a 7 1/2 in men’s shoes, but after reading that they run a little narrower I chose to get the 1/2 size bigger, I am glad I did because they fit awesome. I recommend breaking them in a bit before going for a long walk, etc.
