Shoes look great. I bought the orange Magnum's and the gray is a little grayer than the pictures show - it's more of a "dusty" gray. I wanted something cheap, yet durable and functional. These fit the bill and my feet. Like another reviewer mentioned, these shoes seem to be for wider feet, though I have narrow feet and they still work out great. The little zipper pocket on the side of the shoe is a nice little touch - I initially thought to put a credit card/ID card there but it doesn't fit into it; I reckon it's more for money or keys. The shoes lack some arch support; however, an insole did the trick with plenty of room still left in the shoe. They're good for walking; not so much running. It was my first time buying ROOS. Zappos upgraded my priority and shipping - I'm still recovering from the shock. This feeling closely resembles how airlines drop your suitcase around the airport and give you a nice leather replacement and upgrade your seat to first class. Thanks Zappos!

I originally got these ROOS because I needed a new pair of solid sneakers, and also was excited for the signature ROO novelty of having a tiny pocket for a key in my shoe. Unfortunately, I was so captivated by the red ones when I was ordering that I didn’t notice these ones don’t have the usual pocket. However, I don’t feel it’s a loss because they are very comfortable, and the vivid red color is very fun and eye-catching in a I-am-wearing-the-archetypical-sneaker kind of way. So make sure you pick a color you love! I also have had ROO envy because of my friend’s ROOs for a while, and she also endorses them. My only tiny complaint is that the dye is so red, the white shoelaces are getting a little rubbed off on them, but that’s not surprising.

These shoes are great for the novelty and I'm glad that I got them. But I'm also glad that I almost never wear shoes (I'm a sandal guy), because they seem pretty cheap. I'm worried that one of these days I'm going to tear off the sole accidentally while trying to take them off. I can't fit my ID or credit cards in the pockets, but they hold a little cash.

I was so excited when I picked up the Zappos.com shoe box in my mailbox the day after I ordered my KangaRoos. After standing in lab for about 8 hours, my feet hurt. I get compliments on these shoes almost every time I wear them. They are really cute! But with my wide feet, they do not provide a lot of comfort.

I've got the blue ones. Super comfortable. Very cool (breathable), great for summer. I'd definitely recommend these for anyone who walks a lot. These were the first shoes I've bought from Zappos. They won't be the last.

These shoes are very comfortable! They fit like a glove. Probably one of the lightest shoes that I own. The look is very retro, reminding me of my childhood. The price is great, and the shipping was faster than fast!

KangaROOS Magnolia - Adore these! Typically I only purchase Asics Onitsuka Tigers since the color, style, and fit work great for me. I thought I would try these since the lime green was too cute to pass up. Glad I did! They fit very similar to the Asics Tigers. I wear a 7.5 in both styles. The only tiny complaint I have is that the laces are oddly long? Other than that- quite fantastic.

These shoes are even cuter in person, and I have gotten compliments nearly every time I've worn them. The fabric is in a great neutral color, seems pretty durable, and even though I've worn them out several times, they don't look a bit dirty. They're super comfortable too!

Shoes are great, I don’t use them for running but they are perfect for walking and hanging out. Very light. Zappos is awesome; I will use this website in the future for sure.

Cute shoe - I bought these to wear indoors with my custom made insoles. I had to go up a half size to make them more comfortable in the toe area. Can’t wear barefoot without stitching rubbing on your foot. I have narrower feet and the shoe is a little wide.

Love, love, love, love - Very comfy, I wear with no socks (I think I wore them ONCE with socks before switching to without, they are that comfortable, didn't even have to break in). I found they fit true to size. Love the bright colors, love the comfort, love the look. I now own two pairs and get compliments every time I wear them.

Love them! I was kinda worried when I ordered these shoes- I wear a size 11 and my feet are wide as well. Normally shoes (especially tennis shoes) are too narrow. But I was super excited when they came in- they fit perfectly! I love the colors on the shoe- they are absolutely beautiful! I've gotten so many comments on them, and they are so comfortable!

I love Kangaroos and these were no exception. They are super comfortable right out of the box and the colors are wild. The only problem I had with this shoe is I wore a hole in the sole in a little under 3 months. But in the shoe's defense, I walked 1-2 miles a day in them. :)

I'm so happy with these shoes! Love the style and they are very comfortable. I have wider feet & these fit really well. I chose the yellow suede & even after washing the car & working on the garden, they still look clean. I would definitely recommend them.

Kangaroo's - My boyfriend and I both had a pair of these when we were kids and he happen to see some while buying his daughters some shoes one day and really wanted a pair. So I began a search because he has such a large foot and kangaroo's are not found just anywhere. He has been absolutely thrilled with them!!! I thank you so much for the email to update me when you had his size!!!

True to size - After reading customer comments on this shoe, I took the advice of the majority and ordered a 1/2 size down. As it turned out, it was necessary to return them and and reorder my usual size because they were too tight.

Well I LOVE my good old pair of Kangaroos. And my significant other decided to surprise me with a few new pairs from Zappos. Wow! The color on these explodes! They look fantastic! Also, I was worried he'd purchased the wrong size for me, because I normally wear a 9 in other shoes, but can wear an 8.5 in these. So I suggest you order either true size or a half size smaller to be safe. As always, they fit like a glove and my feet are stunningly happy! Go Roos!

Shoelaces - It is very disconcerting to get a pair of these wonderful shoes and have to completely unlace them to get to the second pair of shoelaces and then relace them. Place the 2nd pair of laces at the end. Then all you have to do is remove the 2nd pair and lace the 1st pair through two holes. I have 15 pairs of these shoes, but I have almost decided not reorder until this problem is solved.

Too Big - These shoes run very wide. I should have returned them since they do not fit a "A" or "AA" width foot. Very little arch support.

Cool and Comfortable - True to size, great to wear with dress pants, chinos or jeans. Everyone comments on how cool they look. They are fashion sneakers so they are good if you are not on your feet all day. I bought them in both colors.

AWESOME - These shoes are amazing. I ordered the ruby ones and have received so many complements on them. The only thing I highly suggest would be to spray the suede with some water-proofing spray before wearing them just to make sure they last forever. Other than that, these shoes make me giddy.

Comfortable, but poor quality - I first put on the shoe and it was one of the most comfortable I have ever worn despite previously loving NB574. I got many compliments on the look and style (in red). However, after just over a month the sole started separating from the shoe and the track liner peeling off cushion. I was very disappointed in the quality of the shoe and after 2 months the cushion sole is falling off at the heel. Thankfully, Zappos kindly allowed an exchange. I would not recommend these as a walking or everyday shoe.
