Bob's Nylite Leather - This is a great shoe, great comfort, and it has long wear. Please continue to carry this shoe.

I was drawn to the simple design of this shoe. Tretorns were very popular when I was in college during the mid 80s so there was a nostalgic tug also. I am 100% happy with this purchase. The shoes look nice with jeans or shorts and are a nice fit in my admittedly preppy wardrobe. I've had the shoes for a month now and they have worn nicely and are quite comfortable to wear. They were a little more expensive than I remember Tretorn shoes being but, in the end, they were worth the expense. One thing to note, I did not feel the shoe ran true to size. I wear a 10 in almost every shoe and style so that's what I ordered here based on others' comments about running true to size. I ended up exchanging them for an 11 that fit perfectly.

I really want to like these shoes but they are not that good. I wore Tretorn Nylite sneakers off and on in the 70s and 80s and they were fairly inexpensive, well made, and very comfortable. The new shoes are a bit sloppy in construction, very uncomfortable, and expensive given they are not very "high tech". The lining is very cheap and uncomfortable, as it has little real padding or support. The leather uppers are stiff/hard. Just not a great shoe considering at one time they were a real tennis shoe. Now they aren't even comfortable for a casual shoe. The size just does not fit well either. They run narrow.

Ros Hommerson Viva - The basic black pump, a version that fits very comfortably. The shoe is wide enough, the toe box is high enough, and the heel height is reasonable. Ros Hommerson shoes almost always please me.

True Navy Color - A TRUE NAVY heel. It is not just blue, it is NAVY one of those navys that could possibly pass for black in low light. Great price, comfortable, ordered during Christmas rush and still arrived within three days! A very classic shoe for any occassion. LOVE IT.

Ros Hommerson Viva - These are THE MOST comfortable heels I have ever worn. No breaking-in period. Love the toe box and height of the heel.

Unbelivable comfort, with my weight (almost 300lb), heels are very good size, and looks stylish.

Excellant shoe, I really liked it! The shoe is well made, comfortable and true to size. It fit just fine. I just wish I could find more like it in my size (10 1/2 WW).

Customer Satisfaction - I was very pleased with the shoes and they felt great from the moment that I put them on. I was more than pleased with the Zappos with my first experience purchasing shoes. I received notification right away and what a nice surprise that my shoes were sent second day delivery free of charge. I would recommend this company and these shoes to everyone. Thanks this has been a very pleasant experience. Linda
