This is the first pair of shoes that have not been tennis shoes for my teen (14 year old) and they were just as pictured and better. They looked very sharp and still very casual with jeans. He is still not wanting to be too dressy but every once in a while he has to wear a button up shirt and needed something not too dressy because he wouldn't wear it but this was exactly what he and I were both looking for. The only think I don't like are the leather laces...they don't stay tied all the time but I am trading them for other laces. Love them!

Ordered these in along with polo deck shoes and Steve Madden M-gamer all in a 7 for my ten yr. old. Thank you, Zappos, for carrying this size! How frustrating it is to shop for a boy who is starting to be concerned about the look of his shoes and no stores carry this small size for men. But we are sending these back as the polo fit the best and worked the best for him. Love the colors, but he had a little trouble getting them on with the soft back/heel.

I wanted a bag that I could keep all of my books in, as well as my 17.3" laptop, and my D-SLR camera. The bag itself feels great, it looks great, and it's comfortable. My D-SLR camera, with lens attached, fits in the bottom outside pocket, which really surprised me, as it is a small pocket, but not as small as it looks. The only problem with this backpack is that the designated laptop sleeve, located closest to the carrying straps on the back of the bag, doesn't fit a 17" laptop. The average 17" laptop's width is around 16" and the opening for the laptop is about 14"-15". This would fit a 17" Apple laptop, but not many others. The pocket is also too small to put the laptop in shorter-end-first and then reposition it. I'm putting my laptop in the main compartment, and my books in the laptop sleeve. Overall, the bag is awesome, and switching the pocket-uses around is very minor. Only question would be, where is this "hidden front zipper pocket?" It appears to be so well-hidden that it doesn't actually exist.

My son just started middle school and wanted a cool new backpack. We both love the way it looks and it is very comfortable, but too small in the main compartment for all his books and binders! We are very disappointed because overall it had everything he was looking for! It is a great backpack for day trips or sleepovers or to the skate park.

I love everything about the backpack, very big pockets. The reason I got this backpack was for my 17" laptop; it would fit in the laptop sleeve if the opening/zipper was on top, not the side! I'm very unhappy!
