My son likes the shoes. These do run a 1/2 size larger than Etnies.

Cool Shoe - This shoe is great. The only complaint is that the tongue on the shoe is kind of short. My son complains that I need to pull up the tongue each time before he ties the shoe. I think they could have made it higher. Other than that, we love the shoe.

The best buy. These shoes are a great buy, in fact i do not give them 5 stars, because they deserve even more than that. On a scale of 1-10, they are a definite 11. They are so strong and although they seem a little high, it is well worth every single cent I paid for it. Go out and buy it, I can guarantee you that you will not regret it. I have bought many shoes in my lifetime, and of all my shoes, these are the best. Trust Me On This! They are also so comfortable, as if your wearing no shoes. Definitely a great buy!

Wonderful and indestructible! I have had these shoes for over five years and they are the shoe that keeps on giving! I bought them when I was teaching high school and on my feet all day, and no other shoe was as comfortable. Additionally, walking in them is wonderful, and after all this time they still look as good as the first day I bought them. I have very flat, wide-ish feet and these work great. The one issue was with the lining, which pulled out with everyday wearing - often without socks - and made it difficult to keep the shoe on. I fixed that by gluing them down myself and have had no other problems since.

These are so cute to me. I'm sorry to say I am going to have to ship them back. In my opinion the sizing runs large. I ordered a size 5 and it's more like a 6 to me. Because of this my foot slides out and they are hard to keep on. I wish they had them in a smaller size! Also, be aware that the bigger you get these shoes, the longer the front part, the picture shoes them as being pretty small and more "squarish", but they are longer than it looks. Overall, they are great though.
