Given today's general and predictable outcome of products and service, Zappos stands as a Beacon of Enlightened business practices, for others to emulate. The Penguin Melt comfort (sneakers) are well above the average and the cost reflects the quality. I am very satisfied with the shoes, now my third pair of Penguins. I am incredibly moved by the authentic corporate paradigm that is Zappos. If I were younger, in the employment mode, I would be knocking on Zappos door...alas I am retired (from an Exceptional-Extraordinary company) and fill my days having generative and empowering conversations with and about my children and grandchildren. I travel extensively and my new Penguin Melt shoes will be taking me to the Andes mountains where I will change into my Penguin Hiking shoes. My compliments to Penguin (by Munsingwear) and Zappos for an exceptional Corporate Paradigm...where the customer is the primary precept.

Excellent swim trunks. I've only had positive reactions to them. I didn't know there was going to be a lining in the inside, which is fine, but I don't know if that bothers some people. I like that they dry super fast! Comfortable. Perfect Length. 5 stars overall.

These are good quality short swim shorts. Because they are so short, they do not have the same fit and comfort as their baggier brethren, but they look much better. This is not to say they are uncomfortable, but I did notice the difference when I first wore them.

I bought this for my dad. He's in his early sixties, very fit and active person. He looks great in this trunk. Very upbeat and athletic!

Comfortable bathing suit. Perfect fit. Not too short either. Penguin makes a great bathing suit. This is my second pair. Will definitely buy more in this style by Penguin.

These are very cute in person, just like in the pictures. However, they run small, so I had to return mine for a larger size.

These swim shorts fit great! I'm a tall, slimmer guy so the legs/butt area fit perfectly. I typically wear pants with a 30 in waist so I went with the Small size and it fits just right in the waist, although there is no spare room in case I pack on a few pounds.

Perfect length, not board short long, and not European short. Run true to size, with a nice slim modern fit.

I'm a big fan of Penguin shoe styles, this will be my fourth pair. I'll admit style trumps support, but most likely do to the fact that I have flat feet and these have a moderate arch support. Other than that every pair I have holds together very well. Also keep in mind I rotate them so they last longer. There is also more than plenty cushion all around. If this will be a primary shoe my review may not help. I'm a big dancer which I use 2 pairs for and these things stay solid. The biggest tell is how quickly the sole comes off the rest of the shoe and its yet to happen with any of these. With this brand I can tell I'll be tossing these when they're beat up on the outside vs collapsing on the inside.

Love this swim trunk! Fits nicely and comfy to wear. Wore these to Tulum, Mexico and received many compliments.

Ordered 2 pair, one in mazarine blue, one in maui blue, both 36". They were both too large, and so I measured the waist myself...in both cases they were 38". Had same thing happen when I ordered same swim suit through Amazon. Attests to total lack of quality control, especially for a name brand, pricey item.

For someone that is 5'4" the length of these shorts are perfect just above the knee. There is internal netting, which I consider a plus. My only con about these is the tie does not wrap around the entire waist band so that you could adjust the waist size. Its simply so the Velcro does not come apart you, but if they stretch a little you might not want to jump in the pool if you catch my drift.

Cool and comfortable shoe, but the exterior pattern began ripping two weeks after receiving these shoes and now it's just hanging on for dear life. I bought these for work but am embarrassed to wear them in now. Not what you'd expect from Penguin or Zappos.

Loved these trunks. Bought before my honeymoon, and my wife loved them too. Worn all summer, and in pools, lakes, and salt water. Kept their color and not showing any sign of wear. Great length if you don't want the board short to the knee look.

As advertised. I dig the look, and the shoe is very well made... This line appears to run a little on the small side, though. I typically wear a size 11, but I'd be better with an 11.5 or 12 in this shoe.

My husband just loved these, and so did I. They were so light and comfortable and cute that he wore them in and out of the ocean. Quality fabric dries quickly too.

I love the shoes but they started falling apart pretty fast. The sole tore on both shoes where the Penguin logo sits! Both started to make noise when walking as a result fo the tear. Fabric has started to pull away on the outside of the right shoe. I have worn them maybe 15 times. I am very dissapointed, considering how much I paid for them. I would expect more from the brand.

This shoe is a must have. The color pops and at life to any outfit. Is about a half size big but very comfortable. Overall very happy with the purchase!

I really liked the shoe when I bought it. I got it from DSW. I wear the shoe 5 days a week for work. The sole is starting to come unglued and I have only owned the shoe for 1 1/2 months. I am pretty disappointed about that.

These are my new favorite trunks. They are stylish and designed to be a classic. I always get positive remarks when wearing them. The cut is above the knee which gives them a vintage feel.

These look even better on me, but after about one hour both shoes started to rip at the seams. Yes, that is plural. Quite stylish, but made very poorly.
