Comfortable, but not the same shoes from the 1980s. They seem to lack the padding and feel they used to have. Almost like a cheap imitation.

Great product at a reasonable price. I wear them daily. Also, Zappos upgraded my shipping free of charge and I received them in less than 24 hours.

Ridiculously excellent customer service! All web retailers should take notes. Ordered shoes, they were too small, called back, the next size up was shipped without charging my account. I printed prepaid label to return original pair and dropped off at a "MailBox" store. No charge for ANY of the shipping. Promised 5-10 days, received in TWO, received replacement pair in TWO....The only place to shop for shoes. Now I am very opinionated when dealing with other online retailers.... No online retailer that I have ever dealt with made it so easy and was so accommodating. They are similar to Lands End but I must say, they even have the edge because of the free shipping and extremely quick delivery. They have done a "Disney" in that they seems to always exceed my expectation!

Where did the quality go? I just ordered 2 pair of these Tretorn Canvas Tennis shoe's and I sent them back the next day. I have worn these same shoes for years and they were made so nice and were comfortable. The last 2 pair were like a completely different brand. They were made so cheap. The fabric was so thin, no support at all. They felt like a $10.00 pair of shoes. Now I don't know what to do as no one makes a nice canvas sneaker.

The classic tennis shoe, even mentioned in The Official Preppy Handbook. Lightweight and comfortable, with great traction on the court.

Reviewer from Mississippi -
I love my Tretorns. I have been wearing them for 19 years. I think they work really well with jeans, khakis, shorts or sweats. They are by far the best looking and most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. The solid white tretorns or the ones with navy trim are great, but I would like to see tretorns made in other trim colors. Possibly in lighter to medium blues or even some plaids. The norm is great, but a change in color would be nice. As long as tretorn continues to make such an outstanding product I will continue buying and wearing them with pride.

Blast from the past.
This is a super-comfortable tennis shoe that's been my favorite since it first appeared on the scene in the late 1960s. I like it because it doesn't look like a "clown shoe". It’s also washable.

Not the Tretorns I remember -
I love the look of this shoe but am disappointed with the quality/feel. I used to love these growing up but remember a padded heel and terry cloth lining. These do not have a comfortable lining for use without socks. Zappos delivery was amazing though! I was thrilled to receive them the day I after I ordered them!

They were shoes that I wore in high school and was so glad to find them still being made. They are very comfortable which is something hard for me to find since having surgery on one of my feet.

Always a Classic!
I really remember these shoes from the late 70's and they still look and fit the same. They have a simple classic elegance and (in my opinion) look great with Levis 501's. They are very flexible and light and are comfortable without socks. The only con with these shoes is that the insoles are as flat as a board. I really need arch support with my shoes so I added some 3/4 length insoles - voila instant support. These shoes run very true to size or maybe even slightly large. So if you normally wear a size 9, then order a size 9! Without socks and depending on your foot build, one might even need an 8.5. With Zappos great service and blindingly fast shipping getting the correct size will be a breeze!

I'm a child of the 80's and love Tretorns. These feel just like they did back then - very comfortable. If you're considering getting them from Zappos, keep this in mind:
1. These shoes aren't white. They're off-white.
2. The plastic gullwing logo on the side IS pure white.
3. The stitched trim that outlines the tongue, the lace well, and the "v" toe IS also pure white.
If you look at them in indoor light, you can't tell the difference, but if you go outside and look down at them, you'll notice a big difference. It doesn't look bad per-se. Just odd. And definitely not what they looked like back in the day.
Now, here's what's really odd: before I knew Zappos carried these shoes, I bought some online from the Tretorn website. When they arrived, I noticed...
1. They are pure white all over.
2. The gullwing logo is leather, not plastic.
3. They're made from a distinctly heavier canvas than the ones I got from Zappos.
4. They're not as comfortable as the ones I got from Zappos.
I ended up keeping both pair. Both look and feel great. Not totally sure why there's a difference, but I like them so much I really don't care. Just be advised, there is a difference. If you get them from Tretorn, they'll look like they did in the 80's. If you get them from Zappos, they'll feel like they did in the 80's.

World's best canvas shoe -
I've worn this shoe for nearly 30 years. Stocked up on them when they were unavailable for a time. Only shoe I've ever mail-ordered, because they feel comfortable even when they're new. They remind me of the soft feel of moccasins, but tough enough for sports, and I'm a 285lb bodybuilder who picks up a bar with 765 lbs while wearing them. Sweet shoe.

Still one of the best looking classic casual shoes. And comfortable. They are a little narrow for a wide foot but still great shoes.

A wider shoe would have been preferable. Under the circumstance the one you sent will make do.
Not withstanding the above I find the Tretorn is still the best for its intended purpose.

 |  | You need a portal just for testimonials! I am an enthusiastic fan of Zappos! I live overseas but I have a home in USA. I shop the latest styles and fashions on Zappos.com in Denmark, ship them to my USA address and pay with my Danish bank card...no hassle. Your “competition” will not allow me to do that and they place the burden of identity verification on me. When I try to place an order from Denmark to ship to my house in USA they cancel my order. When I call in to determine why they do not use a more sophisticated method of credit card verification like “Verify by Visa” they tell me they cannot reinstate the order. I spend about 3K per month in shoes alone and I am more than happy buying them all from Zappos now. I shop Zappos exclusively now for the great customer service, ease of use, selection and confidence in knowing that the purchases I make will be honored in a way that provides service to the customer. I started with buying shoes, I am now looking at all the other wonderful things Zappos offers as a result of the service and value provided through this company! I love Zappos! |  | ~ Johnna C., November 08 2009
