    Very comfortable shoes. And Zappos Customer service and shipping is the BEST (#1), and this statement is from my online buying experience of last 11 years. Thanks Zappos and all of your customer representatives. Online store service can not be any superior then this.

    Were they this comfortable in the 80s? I just got these and just from trying them on and wearing them around the house, they seem as though they'll be very comfortable. They have a perfectly flat bottom and a wide toe box, so if you tend to have some foot problems or don't work in all shoes, these could be your ticket. I opted for these instead of other low-profile pairs because the sole appears to be thicker. I was worried that, as compared with the 3-oz weight of some other shoes, these would feel heavy at 11 oz--but they don't! I'll update my review after I've had a chance to wear them more, but upfront I am very impressed. Stable, comfy, and seem as though they will allow your feet to expand in the toe box on hot days without feeling cramped. I will say, when you order these, order the size you normally wear and then one smaller too--especially if you're a woman. I am a perfect fit in my Asics in a 10, here I am a half-a-size smaller (8.5 because it's a men's style). I agree with the previous reviewer about Zappos' customer service--it's simply unbeatable!! So refreshing to find a company that still actually cares about making their customers happy. Icing on the cake that they have the best on-line selection of ANY shoe seller out there!!

    Very comfy right out of the box, almost too soft. Very comfy, but feels too soft on a long walk, no support also, after about 30 minutes of walking in a week, sole already showing signs of wear.

    Sweeeeet. First off, truly, Zappos is AMAZING. Their customer service, their promptness, EVERYTHING. This is my place to shop for shoes (and probably more) from now on. The shoe itself is awesome. Got the black/red one. Really, really comfortable, and great to walk in. Should serve me well for the winter weather! At first I thought it was running a little small, and then I just figured that it was actually a perfect fit after walking in them a little bit. Definitely recommend these.

    About KangaROOS

    of New Styles!

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    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.

    Take your sense of style and comfort to the next level with a fresh pair of KangaROOS shoes. Whether you're looking for KangaROOS men's shoes, KangaROOS women's shoes, or KangaROOS kid's shoes, Zappos.com has got you covered!

    Awesome kicks - These shoes are comfortable, look great, and even have a place for me to keep some spare cash. What more could you want? The only unexpected thing: the mesh pictured is very mesh-like. I get quite a breeze on my feet when I wear these shoes, which can be both a blessing and a curse.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 love these shoes. They are stylish enough to wear on dates, as I have done a few times, and just bumming around the house or running errands. They did cut into my left ankle at first, although after some time they’ve molded to the contours of my feet. The only negative is that they seem to stain easily. I purchased sneaker cleaner and have had to use it twice now. Lastly, I haven’t had problems with the laces as others have mentioned. The shoe has broken in nicely in every respect. I also put my identification info in the pocket in the scary event I get run over walking down the street.

    Received these on time as promised, and I am very happy with the fit and quality of these shoes. Very comfortable and look just like I anticipated. We ordered two pairs, and the red pair was defective and I am in the process of sending them back. The inside supports were unglued and had no support. My pair in black are fine so far even though they don't feel very durable.

    I\'ve only had them for a few weeks, but I love these guys (the Roos). Zappos\' customer service was very impressive, as they make it really easy to return\/exchange stuff. I have never bought shoes online before, but I\'ll definitely check with Zappos next time I\'m looking for some more. I will say the Roos don\'t feel very durable, so I\'m erring on the side of \'babying\' them and keeping them out of bad weather and other situations that may accelerate the wear. But they sure are sharp!

    These shoes came to my door quicker than expected. For the low price, the shoes are pretty comfortable, as far as width and shoe form go. A great look for a shoe that most people don\'t wear and of course I have to give it a plus for the little pouch that come on the side. If they ever wear out, I will for sure be purchasing myself a new pair of these.
