About KangaROOS
1979...it all starts here. The jogging craze is sweeping the States and a guy named Bob Gamm needs a place to store his keys and change while he's out for his daily jog. As necessity is the mother of invention, Gamm came up with a design for an athletic shoe with a small zippered pocket.
The KangaROOS shoe was born.
Life was good in the ’80s. Kids were cruising around blasting their boom box, listening to Madonna, Duran Duran and Culture Club. Pac Man, Donkey Kong and Froggy were the popular games at the arcade. Hair was big and some items were just plain essentials: leg warmers, shoulder pads and of course you had to have your KangaROOS. The brand was one of the top 10 US brands in the ’80s and was the first to offer runners a real sports technology - the NASA tested Dynacoil cushioning system. KangaROOS footwear began appearing on a number of high profile U.S. sports stars like baseball's Ron Darling, basketball superstar Clyde "the Glide" Drexler and Chicago Bears legend Walter Payton.
Through the ’90s KangaROOS had gained such a strong following that it began to widen its product offering. It started to introduce apparel and footwear collections for the leisure, outdoor and fashion markets and blazed a trail through Europe and beyond.
With over 30 years of history and credibility, KangaROOS are on the verge of a population explosion. Available in over 50 countries, KangaROOS shoes continue to offer a diverse range of directional styles fusing fashion, color, comfort and style - ever inspired by their roots in authentic performance.
From classic kicks to sleek new racers every shoe still has a pocket. The brand is about an attitude, not a specific age or demographic, and is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

KangaROOS Reviews
No joke rocking the Roos! Just like back in the day! Super comfy and super stylish.
I am disappointed in these shoes. The back of the shoe, feels hard like it will cut into my ankle. The shoes feel cheap. There is no nice soft padding at the side or even on the sole.
My husband got these in grey and white, and he loves them! The lighting causes the shoe to look darker though.
I can't answer the questions about fit because I bought this as a gift. First I ordered the wrong size; returned. Then I ordered the wrong color; also returned. And lo, the correct size and color was sent to me, fast (next day) and in time for the birthday. Terrific customer service.
Design is the primary draw here, and these shoes deliver. Also, they are comfortable, and the quality is good. I find myself wearing my pair more than I thought I would.
I have been a Zappos customer over 10 years and keep going back. My husband loves the KangaRoos line. The fit and style are right on.
I had wanted a pair of roos for a least five years and was very excited to get these. I loved the look but was disappointed with the comfort. I had expected a softer inner feel and more support.
I bought the red variety of these shoes and they are great! They are very comfortable and the with the price their value cannot be beat! Good for running or everyday wear.
Takes me back to the 1st grade. Still a pretty good shoe. It does run a bit smaller than other brands, and the break-in period has been significantly longer--they're a bit stiff. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, especially for the price.
These shoes are comfortable but are rather thin and don't provide much arch support. Good enough for day to day use, but I would not want to walk a long distance in them.My biggest complaint is they started falling apart too early. The sole started coming off at the front of one of them within a few months. Now, one shoe has the sole flopping around loose in the back, also.The quality is just subpar. The pocket and retro vibe is cool, but I feel like these are being marketed more for retro points than a quality show. I would not buy 'roos again.

Hi All, Director of Operations at OCReef.com here. Let me tell you walking through our warehouse is now much more comfortable with the KangaROOS Combat Classic's, and they don't show the dust; plus they bring me back to my childhood. 5 stars all around.
Amazing shoes! I don't even carry around my keychain anymore thanks to the pockets on these shoes! Definitely worth the money!
I had to re-lace them because they were way too tight. Once they were re-laced they fit nice was was very comfortable.
Love these shoes! They are just as much fun as they were when I was a little kid and comfortable as well. I can wear them all day long and my feet feel good. Zappos was awesome as well as the order was shipped and arrived quickly.
Very cute shoe with a lot of spunk and personality...it really "pops" on your feet while wearing! Yes, the sole is a little on the harder side (definitely don't wear these running), but these are obviously a fashion sneaker. Very cute and well worth the money! In terms of sizing, I saw many reviews telling people to order a half size up, which I did - and these puppies were way too big. Actually, you need a half size down.
I couldn't find any of the womens styles that I liked, so I went to the mens department to look, and I found these! I wear a mens 7 and absolutely love them! I get compliments on them all the time, they are very unique. They not only look great and last forever, but they make my feet feel great! Very comfortable and true to size! My brother asked for some for Christmas! Good call Roos!
Very comfortable and the price was right. Would totally buy them again.
Pretty good. Comfortable enough that I don't notice wearing them, so not spectacular, but not bad by any means.
Finally another Lotus like shoe! I miss these! Needs a little more arch support but a return to a similar (though not the same) style as previous ROOS. A good shoe.
