For the money, this helmet is the best value that I have found. I purchased this to protect my son's head when he is on rollerskate, skateboards and bicycles. The helmet is much higher quality than the cheaper 'cartoon character' ones that you would find. It also seems to have more head coverage. Overall, I would highly recommend this product.

I have been skating most of my life and the only company for a truly comfortable helmet is Triple 8. My head doesn't get all sweaty because of the sweat saver thing and every other helmet I have tried just annoys me when I m skating. If you re trying to buy a helmet you should defiantly go with Triple 8.

Medium fits my 6 year old perfectly. Nice helmet and it must be comfortable because he doesn't complain about wearing it.

This helmet's replacing my old Protec skate helmet. Huge difference between the two. The padding on this helmet is much better. It's firmer than the Protec, but despite that it's far more comfortable. The Protec's foam padding always felt itchy to me and it didn't take long for it to take on a funk of its own. The terry cloth material sucks up the sweat like a champ. Even after wearing it for 2+ hours straight in 92F weather, I didn't have a single drop of sweat run down my face, due to the helmet's padding completely encircling my head. It's the first time I've worn a helmet and didn't mind it. If anything, I almost forgot I had it on.

I love my helmet. The sweatsaver liner is a great addition and helps keep sweat out of my eyes while I'm doing roller derby! Love it!

The greatest skate helmet in the universe. Perfect fit. I love that I don't get sweaty. Great ventilation. Just ordered another one for my love.

I love my new helmet. It's a great product at a great price. I got my new helmet in two days, which is awesome! It was exactly what I wanted and Zappos.com was the best price and free shipping.

This is a lightweight helmet. The sweat liner creates a comfortable fit. The appearance and styling are great in comparison to others and it's sold at an appropriate price.

We live in the south where it is very hot in the summers. I am looking forward to seeing if this helmet's sweatsaver liner really works! My son loves the style and fit.

I bought this helmet for my son. This is the second "Triple Eight Brainsaver" helmet he has had and he loves them! Make sure you get the one with the Sweatsaver Liner. Zappos had the best price and the helmet was received very fast. Would definitely recommend the helmet and getting it from Zappos!

Bought in natural, size 8, which is my regular size. Remarkably comfortable right out of box and I have rather swollen, problematic feet. Had higher, platform version in the 70's and always loved them. Prefer lower version now. Extremely flattering and secure. Leather is a little stiff, but not uncomfortably so. Had many of the same fit issues others reviewers complained of when I tried these in stores. Maybe their sizing is inconsistent, but mine worked out perfectly in my regular size. Very happy. I have coveted these sandals for years.

These shoes are adorable! I wear 8.5 and unfortunately they do not come in half sizes. I ordered in 8 and 9 (thank goodness for Zappos free shipping both ways) and the 8's were definitely too small. The 9's are a little long, but that is better than short. I don't understand why they don't make half sizes when feet come in half sizes! I wore similar shoes in the 70s. Loved them then and love them now. I have also since ordered them in the black.

Just spent an entire week walking the streets of Paris in these shoes. They were amazing! I recommend them for long walks and simply to look cute with your skirts and dresses. They were the most comfortable option for every occasion.

I was worried these shoes would look orthopedic and frumpy, but they are cute and comfortable. A little stiff at first, but they've worn in nicely after a few walks. No blisters at all. Also, if you purchase the "natural" color and think it looks a bit too pink and pale right out of the box, keep in mind that the color will change over time with enough wear and exposure. My pair are currently turning a nice tan.

Super comfy! The leather doesn't feel like it'll need breaking in at all. I wear a 7.5 and needed to get the 8. I got the dark brown color and it's beautiful. The platform is covered in suede. It's subtle but a nice touch. I gave the style only 4 stars because I would like a little higher platform...not more of a wedge, just a straight platform.

This shoe is exactly the same shoe I had when I was young! Right out of the box, I wore this shoe all day with absolutely no issue. It is super cute and exactly the right heel height to give it a bit of polish. I highly recommend this shoe.

These shoes are so cute. They remind me of the Salt Water sandals I bought my girls 20 years ago. They are comfortable but like most shoes, for me anyway, the took a little while to break in. I first ordered the nude color and returned them (thanks Zappos). There was a note that came with them from the manufacturer that indicated they should not be treated at all. Water drops left marks on them. Given the color these were not going to last long.

I can imagine these sandals lasting forever. They are very well made. The straps are a thick vachetta that might need just a little break in period. The inner sole is padded and comfortable. There is just enough width across the toes for almost-wide feet. The sole is nicely covered with suede and high enough to give a little extra height to shorter women who don't want to wear flats but are uncomfortable in a higher heel. They are just like the shoes I remember from the 1970's, which are in fashion again in L.A.

So cute and comfy! I got these sooner than anticipated (thanks Zappos!) and am very pleased. The color of the sole and platform sides is a little closer to the color of the straps, which I liked. I am a very pale skinned person and the color could be a little tough for me to pull off, but I'm going for it with a burgundy nail color. Give these a try! They feel great! I typically wear a size 7 1/2 and these fit fine.
