I bought these as a replacement for my Converse high tops, and they're far superior. They don't get as dirty since they're leather instead of fabric and I don't even tie them because the friction between the eyelets and shoelace keeps the laces from coming out. Comfortable enough and provide good support. Maybe a bit hard if you are used to comfort/springy shoes, which I am not - I like motorsport Pumas. Definitely would recommend them.

Good-looking shoe. To me they look like 80s-era wrestling shoes with a more durable (but not much thicker) sole. Literature with the shoes says they were made in 1964 for high jump and pole vault. Length is right for tagged size. Not much toe room. Shoe is more narrow than the \'81 Onitsuka shoes, but it could be that the \'81 is wide for the tagged size. Still I am going to rate narrower than marked size because this is sleek for a sneaker. That is like saying slim for a fat guy but you get the idea.

AWESOME! These shoes are great, not a ton of padding or support but they are still super comfortable. They give you a throwback look but still keep it real; the white is awesome, very fresh looking. They are a little hard to get on at first but they break in very nicely. I normally wear mine loose and untied and the laces stay in their holes quite nicely. Very true to fit, even untied and loose I don't ever feel like my heel is going to slip out. Pretty easy to clean too, I've gotten them a little dirty on bar hopping nights, even kicked fire and the ash came off pretty well! I would HIGHLY recommend adding these to your arsenal of shoes.

Retro Cool - Really cool shoes. I used to wear this type of shoes 20 something years ago. Very comfortable. You can wear it with shorts, or take them to a club (they look pretty good with jeans). Anyway, excellent choice if you are thinking of getting old school shoes (everybody else has the Nike’s with the weird colors).

These shoes are very unique looking and truly retro. But there is no rubber on the bottom, it's just the cushion foam. Basically, these shoes feel like wearing foam flip-flops. I've had mine a few weeks and the tread is already gone. And, no rubber means these shoes are extremely slippery on any wet surface. So, in short, totally non functional, very uncomfortable, looks cool, total rip off.
