It is a cute shoe, but the Saucony Jazz Originals, the style is almost identical except for logos, is a much more comfortable shoe. I can work my 12 hour shifts and not have a problem with tired feet with the Saucony brand. The Kangaroos are more of a hard bottom versus Saucony Jazz is softer and hugs your feet better and doesn't lose its firmness quickly. This is a lasting shoe.

These shoes are quite comfy, and I like the style, but did run into some problems that others have noted here. The laces are quite difficult, but that has eased a bit in the past few months. But the biggest problem for me is the rubber sole separated within weeks with moderate usage. Kind of a bummer. But, those issues aside, I like the shoes a lot. They are indeed quite comfortable to walk around in.

I never heard of Roos, but I tried them out based on the other reviews. I'm glad I did! They do run a half size small, but it was no problem exchanging them. I liked my gray pair so much I bought a black pair, too! I can not wear them in the rain. My toes will get wet. Nor can I run in them, but they are great for an everyday walking shoe!

I love these shoes, they are soo comfy. I am a pediatric ICU nurse and on my feet all day. The colors are fun and easy to match with my scrubs.

I've purchased 4 different color Combat ROOS from Zappos/6pm. They are my favorite shoes. I've been wearing my first pair from Zappos for over 6 years! They usually get noticed from old farts in their 40s saying "I used to wear those" or "I remember when people wore those." Not sure if it's a compliment, but I enjoy them a lot. I really feel like these shoes are "mine" because they're not very popular.

I love these shoes! The color is perfect with jeans and they are super comfortable. Just enough arch support and the soles are grippy, which is important at my job. So worth the price.

This is the fifth pair of KangaROOS that I bought and I have enjoyed the brand and the style immensely. I am 64 years old and I exercise at the gym daily. For exercise, I want a shoe that offers me appropriate support while being comfortable. This shoe fits the bill. It\'s easy to wear and and the price is great. All-in-all, this shoe is a terrific value for the price. By-the-way, it wears well!

I love these shoes! Super comfortable; great for long walks around the city. Arch support is better than in most running sneakers! A+

I really liked these shoes when I first received them. They were cute and fairly comfortable. After multiple wears those the heal on both cracked and now i can't wear them without them cutting up my heal..I even tried putting pads in the back but they really didn't help out.

First off, my wife was pleased to find these shoes as she had a pair years ago but just got worn out. We are very pleased with your selection, your customer service and expeditious way you sent them and what a surprise it was. The second pair was air mailed for the price of ground delivery. Thank you.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! Although do not get stuck in the rain with them as they leak!

Overall:

These fit great and were comfortable enough to tend bar in for eight hours right out of the box. The color I got is a green with army green trim. I happen to love the main green, but beware that it is much "mintier" than the picture conveyed. Plus, they get lots of compliments!

These shoes are very comfortable. I think they\'re somewhat overpriced, but they\'re not cheaply made as some have said. I\'m tough on shoes, but so far so good.

Overall:

Great color and fit! These go well with all the different shades of purple clothes that are in style this year. Also, they fit true to size and are very comfortable. I wouldn\'t wear them for athletics, though, since they are too lightweight to hold up well under a lot of use. They are a wonderful casual shoe, though.

Overall:

The army colored shoes are a lot more green than they look in the picture. They are also much shinier. They’re pretty comfortable. They’re very slim, so if your feet are a little wide, you might want to order a different width.

COMFY!I bought these shoes because I have to be on my feet a lot. It has been awhile since I've ordered shoes online and outside of the fact that they were a little bigger than what I normally where, they're a great shoe. I tend to wear thinner socks during the summer and spring so that could be the case. Most comfortable shoe ever and very classic look. Definitely looking to get another pair soon.

Still breaking them in. Not as comfortable as my beat up Reeboks, but hopefully soon they'll meld to my feet. The shoe laces are also extremely tight and hard to adjust. Hopefully those will loosen up over time, too. That said, I love the fact that I can wear shoes from my childhood. Haven't decided what to put in the pockets, yet.

When I opened the box I was thrown back to the early 80's. I bought the gray ones and they are just like the ones we used to envy each other for in grade school. They have that cool velcro flap over the zipper, just like the ones we used to open and close repeatedly to annoy the teacher in class. I bought these to replace my last pair of Roos, the Lotus style. They were so comfy and I have to stand all day at work. These have even more cushioning so I can't wait to wear them to work. I tried them on tonight and they are very comfy and look adorable.

I am a girl who wears an 11WW shoe, so I bought the men\\\'s 10 in this style.\\r\\n\\r\\nThey are comfortable and stylish. They don\\\'t breathe very well, so I wouldn\\\'t wear them in the middle of a hot summer day.\\r\\n\\r\\nYou can feel where the seams are in the sides of the shoe even through socks, but it is more annoying than painful.\\r\\n\\r\\nI wore them to the state fair the first day I had them and they were comfortable.

I really wanted to like these, but truly I should have sent them back right away. They seem to change my gait, the sock lining was irritating and no matter what I did they never fit correctly. They might just go in the Salvation Army bag.

The shoes are nice and comfortable with room for orthotics. I like the color, the side pockets, and the efficient shipping. The price is a little high.

I know that when I buy my Kangaroos from Zappos, I just get them out of the box and put them on because I know that they will fit me like they were made especially for me. Kangaroos are the most comfortable shoes I've been able to find in years. I have yet to have to return a pair of my shoes to Zappos.

These shoes are great! The colors are just as bright as in the picture and they shipped super fast. Zappos bumped them up to priority for no charge! I got them within two days! The only problem with these shoes are that they are a little snug. I ordered my shoe true to size, 11. I think another size would be too big, though. Just be prepared that when you buy these shoes, there's not much extra room. Great service, Zappos!

These shoes are awesome. They are super comfortable, and I always get lots of compliments on them. One "warning" is that they run a little big. For example, I normally wear a 15, and I have these in 14, and they fit fine. Otherwise, no hesitation here.

Awesome shoe - Just wanted to say that I love this shoe. Right off the bat, you put it on and it is like heaven on your feet. I think I want to get another pair, but in a different color. Love them so much! Buy them. Love Roos; they remind me of my childhood.
