I ordered these shoes for my son's birthday. He has other pairs of Creative Recreation shoes and loves the way they fit, feel and look! I, personally, can only comment on the ordering/shipping process and I was stunned at how fast they arrived. I think I ordered them on a Friday, and they were on my doorstep on Tuesday. They were packaged well and included instructions on the free return process, if necessary. I would not normally purchase shoes on-line, but Zappos pays for shipping and return shipping, if necessary, so that eliminated my worries. My son has ordered several pair of shoes from Zappos; he is the one that recommended them to me.

These feel absolutely fantastic. Light, grippy, and the quality/fit and finish of them is excellent. And they run true to size! The outsole seems to wear a tad quickly, but other than than they satisfied even my highest expectations!!

I normally don\'t buy things over the internet, but with Zappos I have had nothing but fast excellent service. If I need to return something, there has never been a problem. I found out about Zappos from a friend at work, and I never hesitate to recommend Zappos to anyone I know. You guys Rock.

from Campbell, CA Overall Rating:
These are my first pair of Asics, and I love these shoes! I got them in Glencheck/Ice Blue. I was worried they would be too busy, but they are super cute! My only problem is that I got them a half size smaller than usual because I read some reviews saying they run large, and one of my girlfriends says she always buys Asics one half size smaller, too. She has Mexico 66's as well, so I thought I would need the smaller size. I ordered them and they are a little too tight in width around my toe. They are more comfortable after several days of wear, but I wish I had just purchased my normal size. Any issue I have with these shoes are my own fault, they are great shoes and I'll definitely purchase more in the future.

These shoes are made of extremely cheap leather. The shoes are not very breathable and not all that comfortable. If you don\'t mind cheap leather, then get these because they look good. However, if you want better materials for the same money, go with something from Nike or Adidas.

Awesome, but a little pricey. Didn't get dirty immediately, as white shoes usually do. After initial wearing-in, the shoes are very comfortable, and I've already got compliments on them. They don't seem like they will last any longer or any shorter than any other shoe, so maybe the price is a little steep? I have American Eagle (which I got from Payless) flats that are comfortable and have lasted me years on crazy terrain, and those were $20-$40.

I bought these for my husband and he loves them. He says they are the most comfortable casual, around-the-town pair of shoes he's owned. Additionally, I like their styling and appreciate that they were constructed from non-animal materials. When these wear out, we'll likely buy another pair!

I got the white ones and I like them a lot. The arch support is welcome and they look nice. Only notes are that they are very much off-white. And there is a strange strap that laces on at the top that I didn't notice when looking at the photos, but I don't mind it at all.

Reviewer:Chris Overall Rating:
Nice shoe! It's super light and feels nice on your feet. It's no running shoe, but it's certainly better comfort/support-wise than a pair of Chucks. I got bold and went with the gray/bright green combo and it looks sharp. I've gotten compliments on it, which I guess is more than you ask for from a shoe, right? I usually just wear black Reebok classics, so this is a nice way to look a little more stylish without spending a lot or having to revamp your wardrobe.

from Cookeville, TN Overall Rating:
I like these shoes, especially after I got used to them. I've been working and hiking in them. Although there are probably shoes that are better designed for hiking, I should note that these have not caused any discomfort. I normally wear a 2E wide shoe, but these have not caused any discomfort due to size. I've been using Zappos.com for several years now and their service is perfect. They've figured out how to make buying shoes online hassle free with their return program.

Reviewer:Will Y
from San Francisco, CA Overall Rating:
Loved these shoes. I think a lot of people get these shoes as just walking/day shoes. However, I have started using these as my primary running shoe for marathon training. I've been one of those folks who is starting to embrace the less on your feet is more (barefoot running, vibram five-fingers, etc.) philosophy. But I found that I couldn't really swing running 15-20 miles barefoot in the city. These were a perfect running shoe for anyone who is looking for an extremely lightweight shoe with very little heel padding, but still extremely comfortable. I've been able to crank out 20 mile runs in these and my feet have felt great and I have been able to more consistently avoid heel strike running (as you do barefoot). Love them.

Reviewer:Karen D
from Seattle, WA Overall Rating:
I love these boots! I live in Seattle and have definitely been putting them to the test; I walk everywhere and my feet are dry. I got them basically because they come in half sizes which was what I needed and they fit just right with a warm pair of socks; they might be a tad loose if you wear them with really thin socks. My only issues with them is they aren't very warm and they do not have the greatest traction. I walked into the supermarket and almost fell on my ass. These are my first rainboots so I don't have anything to compare them to so that may be normal for rainboots. Also my feet start to hurt after walking or standing over an hour, but I'm sure that's pretty typical with rainboots. Overall very pleased and they still look like new, not showing any wear or scuffs from the last few months even though I wear them everywhere.

from Eugene, OR Overall Rating:
These shoes are adorable. I was looking for a pair of flats that I could wear with casual dresses/skirts and that I could theoretically run to catch a bus in, and I love these. They are very soft and do not offer much support, slipper-like, although there is the tiniest smidge of a heel. No break-in time required. I ordered a half-size larger than normal (7 for a 6.5) and they fit perfectly. I am not sure how durable they will be as the leather is very soft.

from New York Overall Rating:
Okay for the price. I guess you have to hit on the right color combination, but the black/silver are pretty ugly and cheap-looking (and cheaply made) to me. I needed something more supportive than Converse Chucks and got these in an emergency to wear as a casual, around-town type of sneaker. Though they are reasonably comfortable with some cushioning and gentle arch support, they don't have the look that I wanted. Instead of old-school cool, they look cheesy. The all-white platform is too bright for my taste. Of course, this is all in the eye of the beholder, and some colors I think might work out better than others. More objectively, the nylon on the upper creases unattractively when I tie the shoes to fit my narrow feet. I suspect the "women's" and "men's" versions of these shoes are the same and that it's fine to cross over as long as you can figure out your size. If I had seen the charcoal/red version in the men's section, I would have gotten those instead of the black/silver. Some of the colors in the Low Pro style look more promising too, but I suspect those are a less-supportive shoe. I bought my usual sneaker size (a 9, I'm an 8-8.5 in a dress shoe) and they fit fine.
