Favorite shoes of all-time - These shoes are roomy and comfy. For some reason the Aqua/Chocolate shoes have softer suede than the gray/pink ones. I am about to order my second pair of aqua/chocolate. They get so comfy and conforming that they become a part of you. Fantastic fit and comfort come with these shoes, as well as sharp and far-out retro style. I really cannot say enough about these shoes. They are the best I have ever worn. I would buy 10 pairs and wear each pair out one at a time if I could.

Very cool- I bought these shoes a half size smaller than I usually would and that worked out good. Don't go a whole size smaller, I don't think they would've fit me. Pretty comfy and I really like how they look- the pink and the gray are cool.

Shoe girl from Madison, WI- These shoes are great, really soft and super cute. I read the other reviews and ordered a whole size smaller but it was just a tad too small so I had to send them back for a half size bigger. Go for just a half size smaller.

Even prettier in real life - When I ordered these shoes I thought they were black and white. To my surprise they were black-calvi, I guess I didn't look at the picture closely. Anyhow, they were even prettier than what I wanted. The only thing is that they are too big so I will have to exchange them.

Great sneakers - I love these sneakers. Definitely get at least a half a size smaller. I am normally 8.5 and I have plenty of room in the size 8. I am thinking about getting the orange ones next.

Sweeeeeeet - Love my shoes! I'm an RN and they're very comfy for work--great arch support. Order a full size smaller. Fit is similar to the indoor soccer style "Samoas". Well worth the money--I'm getting them in blue and red next!!

Cute shoes but run big - I ordered these shoes and usually I am a 8 to a 8 1/2 depending on the shoe. I ordered a 8 1/2 and they were HUGE. I also was dissapointed because I thought the "Black/Calvi" color meant black with white stripes. Well they are black with mint stripes which are alright but I would have preferred white stripes...I returned the shoes and got an 8 and they are still a bit big but they are comfy. I received my order super fast too. Besides the color weirdness I am really happy with the shoes and Zappos.

The first time I got in contact with these wonderful shoes was seven years ago. Since then I won´t buy anything else for indoor sports, mainly badminton in my case. If you really want to feel the floor, these are the shoes for you. After a time of usage the soles becomes soft and follow every move from your feet. It´s almost like wearing a second pair of socks. The contact with the floor and the grip is extremely good. Buy two pairs - one for indoor sports and one for casual wear! Warning: These are not for you that must have cushioning systems in your shoes. The soles are made of pure rubber, no Adiprene, no hexalite, no gel, just rubber!

I thought the Black/Calvi stripes were white, but they are actually aqua... if you look closely, it has a greenish tint. I would keep them just because they are cute and comfy, but the inner right side dug into my foot as soon as I put them on. Didn't hurt like a bad pair of heels, but I could feel it with every step.

Happy Shoes! I always make it a point to own at least one pair of wacky bright-colored shoes per season appropriate for those "I'm happy today" days... and these are them: vivd orange/bloom/gum. There is no possible way to get bummed out wearing orange and pink shoes. Warning: people will notice them. And they will laugh. And then ask you where you got them. I adore these shoes.

Cute sneaker - I wear these sneakers to work on casual days, and out to dinner and around town. They are so much nicer looking than my running shoes. I have the blue and red pair and they look great with jeans. I wouldn't wear them to actually do sports in though.

SLENDID!!! The shoes look great! Orange and pink stand out to say, "look at me I'm special." They relieve the stress off my feet from walking to classes at school; like walking in slippers. These shoes can't be beat for all around style and comfort.

Dear Zappos, I just wanted to send a quick note to tell you that I will be a loyal customer for as long as you exist! I have never once had a bad experience with Zappos.com and have found even returning a product is pain-free. Many people find buying shoes online to be a process that is a hassle based on shipping costs and not getting a chance to see the shoe actually on their foot, but you have done a tremendous job not only making shipping easy, and FREE, but also providing a number of angles for a shoe online so it can best be represented without physically holding it. I have purchased numerous shoes, sandals and boots from Zappos over the years and have never once been disappointed. Most recently, I was upgraded to expedited shipping for free on my most recent purchase, which again pointed out why I love Zappos so much! My educational background is a degree in marketing as well as an MBA focused in strategic management, which makes me extra critical of things like customer service as well as other business functions. Zappos always comes up as my example of companies who are doing things right and charting their own path to success. I recommend your site to people all the time and hopefully they will experience the delight I have come to know as 'the norm' when dealing with Zappos. Thank you to everybody there for their hard work, dedication and emphasis on the customer. It is not going unrecognized and you have me hooked for life! Well done and I look forward to many future purchases! Most Sincerely, Ryan S.
