This is the best shoe I have ever had the privlidge to wear. It is as comforetable a shoe as wearing a stiff pair of socks. Thank-you for making this kind-of-shoe!

Great shoe. I had a pair of Kangeroos when I was 4 and loved them. I saw them again at 23 and had to have them. Very light and comfortable shoe for casual wear. I am a freak about retro shoes and have owned tons. Overall this shoe ranks up there with any I have worn. The shoe is called the Tai Chi Jogger, but I would not recommend that anyone buy them for that purpose.
Brands I'd also recommend: New Balance, Sauconys, or any other classics

About KangaROOS
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!

Luvin' my 'Roos - I'm a high school student where most people wear $100+ shoes and seem to think nothing of it. I was very glad to find these pimpin''Roos, at a very reasonable price! Lookin' good for less! I've gotten lots of compliments on them, and even a little ribbing when they were spotted on "I Love the 80's".

Roos - I bought these shoes because I used to wear them when I was younger and I thought they looked great. Unfortunately KangaROOS have put next to no nothing into making the shoe any more comfortable than they were 15 (plus) years ago. This pair of shoes is the most uncomfortable shoes I have purchased in a long time. I still like them and have gotten many compliments on the look of the shoe, but something really needs to be done to improve the comfort.

Really great sneakers - These shoes are really radical. I like everything about them. They are really neato. The only thing kind of weird about them that I had to get used to is that they are a little higher than regular shoes. But overall I call them sexy.

Great shoes - You won't believe how many comments I got about these shoes. Everyone loves them. A little stiff at first, but break them in and they are very comfortable too!

Nice Shoes - I liked the shoes very much except they were a little bigger than I expected. I got a lot of compliments from people who remembered the shoe from the 80's.
