Really nice sneakers: stylish, lightweight, very comfortable. I like how light they are, and they hug your feet almost like slippers. While they're best for narrow feet, they fit my wide feet just fine. The low-profile, simple style is also excellent. My only complaint are the garish colors. But I got the beige/brown which is okay. As others say, not much support, but for just hanging out and light walking they're great.
These shoes are good looking and I thought they'd be a nice alternative to Onitsuka Tigers. I'm not too impressed, however. They are nowhere near as comfortable. They fit a little strangely on the top of the foot. It took quite a good amount of wear to break in the tough suede/leather, which ate painful holes into the area on the top of my foot at the base of the toes within the first couple hours of walking around town in them. They're wearable now, but I don't want to have to break in a pair of sneakers like they are work boots, come on.

Great shoes, third Gola pair I own. Buy them because they are unique and stylish and mainly because they fit my WIDE foot comfortably! Wear them a lot, until they fall apart in about a year.

These shoes are dope. I love the Chase line. Great for casual and styling. Definitely don’t recommend if you’re going to be on your feet for a long time... no arch support, but that’s how all of this style are (adidas, Asics, etc.) Fit true to size - on the nose, but I am only endorsing this style (Chase) of Gola for now. I got a different pair and the stitching sucks and the material isn’t as nice. Highly recommend. I’m glad that I haven’t seen anyone else with ‘em.

First Impression -
This shoe is very stylish and would be a great addition to any person's wardrobe. The sole is a little thin but the lightweight feel of the shoe makes up for this. There is moderate arch support and the shoe felt true to size. I have very narrow feet and I found the fit to be very good. Zappos did a great job of delivering on time and I highly recommend their services to everyone.

Great sneaker!
This shoe is totally awesome! I get compliments and good comments all the time. They fit great and look cool! I plan on buying at least one more pair of Golas!
Excellent Shoes -
I looove these shoes, and I love the fact that not many people wear them. They feel true to size, are really comfortable and look great. I have the gray ones. Zappos is the best!

I love this shoe!
So much, in fact, I've just bought two additional pairs to give me more color options. I have to make a conscious effort to not wear them everyday. It's extremely lightweight and very comfortable, and it looks great - I've worn them with jeans and slacks and gotten compliments every time. I wear size 11, and this 11 fits perfectly. So be wary of those who say they are a size smaller then marked... I disagree. They are suede, so you have to be careful not to mess them up. I've had them 5 months and they are holding up great. Still look brand new!

Great shoes -
They are small and lightweight and very comfortable. If you're looking for as little shoe as possible (thin sole, etc) this is great. I had to return the first pair though; they were large for the size. Get a full size below normal.

My new Favorite shoe!
I had never heard of Gola before I purchased a pair of them a year or so ago. Fell in love with their light weight and overall look! I recently purchased three (3) pair of the Chase in Black, Brown and Blue. I ordered all the shoes in size 10 and standard width. However, all three (3) pair fit differently. The Black are a perfect fit, the brown are a little longer than the black and the blue is, by far, the smallest of the 3 (even a little tight width-wise). Not horribly, uncomfortably so, but I thought it odd that the same shoe in different colors had different fits.

These shoes look great and feel great. They're light, flexible, and (so far) they hold up well. The soles are very thin, and there is virtually no side or arch support, but I've been comfortable walking all day in them.

Great lightweight sneakers -
These are great looking shoes! They're a little narrow, which is great because I have narrow feet. They're really light, which makes them ideal for summer. However, they also don't have a lot of arch support. Overall, a great shoe. I'm a fan.

A dress sneaker - This is definitely a shoe to be seen wearing. I've received numerous compliments whenever I go out. It's perfect for cookouts, seeing local indie-rock, and hanging out with friends. However, these sneaks serve almost no athletic or even moderately active purpose. If you plan to spend a day on your feet, such as taking a long walk or going to the amusement park, I would put on something that provided better arch support. Also, I should point out that you will feel every little pebble and change in walking surface with these shoes. So to sum it up, if you need a general utility sneaker, look elsewhere. If you already have a good knock-around sneaker and are looking for something that will get you noticed in a casual situation, this is definitely a good addition to your wardrobe.

My second pair -
This is my second pair of Gola's Chase. After 2 years, the suede will get dirty. That is my reason for buying another pair. Be absolutely certain that you size up in these shoes - that has not changed. They are still cool looking footwear.

Excellent, stylish sneaker.
I had been looking for a sneaker like this for a long time. Very low profile, classic looks, and quality construction. I use these shoes as all purpose messing around sneakers and they spend a lot of time with me on the bicycle. Be warned though, they offer very little in the way of support and aren't a shoe I would recommend for those interested in all day on your feet comfort or sports that emphasize a lot of running as that cool low profile look comes at the cost of padding and arch support. If you just want a stylish, classic looking sneaker for day to day activities, I think these are wonderful. Will most likely buy another pair when these bite the dust.

It's a nice looking shoe, but unfortunately it doesn't come in half sizes. I wear a 9 1/2. The 9 was slightly too small and the 10 was slightly too big for me. Thanks to Zappos free returns I didn't have a problem sending the shoes back.

I just got these today (after ordering them two days ago) and I am very pleased. I am a woman with a size thirteen shoe, so I ordered these in a mens 12 and they fit great. I also have a VERY narrow foot, and my feet don't slide from side to side. Arch support is alright, not above average. But all in all, a very good buy.
