You may be reading some of these reviews and hearing things such as "too tight", "simple emblem on the back of the shoe falls off", and "not durable". The problem with these reviews is that people fail to take into
account what these shoes are. The shoes are made with water based glues, not concrete, so if 3 months down the line the emblem falls off, it's to be expected. Others may complain about lack of comfort, possibly because they did not order 1/2-full size bigger as suggested. I find these shoes have much more comfort and support than
Converse All Stars and the
Vans slip ons, which I have worn forever. The last complaint of lack of durability is an odd one, considering these are
canvas shoes, not leather
boots. If you look at these shoes realistically, they are awesome for what they are. I recommend these to everyone who asks about them (and lots of people give compliments) and I plan on buying them again when the pair I have wears out (I bought the white ones). So please highly consider buying these shoes; you will be glad you did!
