These shoes are very comfortable; they feel true to size. I have a 15 minute walk up and down a massive hill to get to campus, and these are the pair of shoes that haven't given me any troubles. Very stylish as well; I got the mocha/plaid style. They go well with virtually anything you wear.

Shoes are comfortable and they take a pretty good beating. Only downside is they take awhile to get worn in, but once they get worn in they're well worth it. Also thought the graphics were red, but turned out to be orange so make sure you read the colors and don't fail like me!

The shoes are true to color and size. I bought these for my son and he loves them. I love Zappos for buying the hard to find sizes and styles. I will always be a loyal Zapponian!

Love these shoes. I have bought from Zappos before and experienced top of the line customer service. Any questions I asked were answered quickly and fully. They were shipped within the first 4 days as well which made me happy. The shoes are great. Very comfortable and fit my orthotics perfectly (minus the sole, of course). They seem to be standing up to the normal wear and tear of my day to day activities very well. I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone. Awesome shoes, great style, enough said.

Kid loved the DCs as usual and I've been proud to spread the word of Zappos even before you all took off and were big. I'm so glad to see a good and honest company stick to what is most important, its customers. From the free return shipping (never used I might add) to the friendly people in Zappos to the online ordering all flows very nice and smooth. Okay, you want to know about the DC shoes, this is all my kid wears is DCs. They are very true to there size and comfort from what I have seen when kid gets them. They stand up very well to a kid who is horrible on shoes and clothes in general as I am sure most 15-16 year old boys are. If you are questioning buying them somewhere else other than Zappos, you might find them for a buck or two cheaper but you won't find the good people behind it like Zappos. I know, I have been looking for years; that's how I found Zappos. I hope this helps in your choice in shoes. If your skeptical like I was, get them and try them out and if you don't like them return it. It's free shipping both ways.

Extremely comfortable, they were true to size, and they look great. For the price, they are definitely worth it. I dig them, a lot.

Overall: (4 Stars) Comfort: (5 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
I bought these shoes for my son. He loved the graphic on the side an the overall look of the shoe. It had a lot of comfortable padding on the inside and he said his foot felt quite comfortable in it. Like most skateboard type shoes they do not flex much in the middle and when he walks his feet hit very flat and make kind of a clomping thudding sound. While this doesn't bother my son at all, it annoys me a bit.

Not only one of the most comfortable sneakers I've ever owned, but what's cooler than the bones of a bull as a design. I love them so much. I have them in black. Awesome!

This was my first time ordering from Zappos and I will surely order again! The customer service was extremely pleasant with my questions. The delivery time was unbelievably quick and with free shipping it saved me a bundle since I didn't have to go shopping around to find these shoes! The shoes are of the finest quality and the fit was wonderful. Thanks Zappos.

These are great shoes! I used to have Etnies and they didn\'t work to well while riding my bike. I received my shoes in 3 days I put them on and found major improvment. I tryed skateboarding with them and the seems kind of came apart but when i use them for biking they have great grip and stay together great! A GREAT SHOE

The shoes are great and the design is awesome. I couldn't find these shoes anywhere else. Two days after I ordered the shoes I received them at my door. I couldn't believe that. Everybody should shop at Zappos.

I'm not a skater, but I buy skate shoes for the comfort and they last like 2 years. This pair of DC's are great! I like the width. Zappos was awsome with my exchanges, not knowing what mens size I needed. If you’re a size 10 womens, a men's size 8 fits great! Plus all the younger people think I rock when I wear these.

I really 110% love these shoes. It is my 1st time buying DC Character shoes, and my 1st time shopping on Zappos. First the shoes look great, they’re super comfortable, and they have great support, the shoes are also very trendy and modern looking, and I like showing them off. Zappos has absolutely superb service, and from now on whenever I need shoes, I will buy Zappos, even if it means paying more because of exchange rates. Highly recommened (both the shoes and the website).

I bought these for my boyfriend, first time ordering something from this site. The shoes are great, he loves them. He usually wears a size 15, but these in a 14 fit him perfectly. I would recommend this shoe and this site to anyone.

I've bought many styles of DC shoes, but have developed a love for the DC Court shoes. Because these shoes looked very similar, but had a better color/design selection, I bought a black pair of these along with white Courts. The characters are a bit less padded, and you definitely notice a difference when first wearing them. They wear in and feel fine after a while, but definitely not as comfortable as the courts. I do however still love the look and still wear them. I would recommend them to people not looking for an overly padded skate shoe and people who are tired of the Court shoe designs, but not the style.

Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
Fantastic shoe with everything, but one... Great shoe all around with heel support, amazing design. The one thing it needs is the availability in a wide width. That way people with feet like myself can wear them without it cutting my little toe.

Cool shoe!!!! This is a great shoe, the feel, the look! It comes with 2 sets of laces, tan, and brown. I have a high arch and these things feel good, with just the right amount of support. They are great!!! Would buy another pair in a heart beat!
