KangaROOS Combat W SKU: #7565507

I never heard of Roos, but I tried them out based on the other reviews. I'm glad I did! They do run a half size small, but it was no problem exchanging them. I liked my gray pair so much I bought a black pair, too! I can not wear them in the rain. My toes will get wet. Nor can I run in them, but they are great for an everyday walking shoe!

It is a cute shoe, but the Saucony Jazz Originals, the style is almost identical except for logos, is a much more comfortable shoe. I can work my 12 hour shifts and not have a problem with tired feet with the Saucony brand. The Kangaroos are more of a hard bottom versus Saucony Jazz is softer and hugs your feet better and doesn't lose its firmness quickly. This is a lasting shoe.

I love love LOVE these shoes! I was looking for a practical comfortable pair of every day shoes. Feels like I am walking on cushions. VERY COMFORTABLE! They are good quality too!

I am very happy with these shoes. Very comfortable and stylish. My only problem is that I wear a size ten and it kind of emphasizes my big feet. Other than that, I've got no complaints.

True to size. These shoes are fun! They take me back to my childhood when I had a grey/purple pair. They were hardy enough to handle the campgrounds at Coachella Music Festival, so I figure they will last me a good long time. The only thing I am slightly miffed about with these "Rockin Roos" is that you can't slide them off easily. You have to untie the laces and loosen them quite a bit to take your shoe off. Oh well, they bring enough "sole to the party of life" so I really can't complain much at all. Get a pair, see for yourself.

Based on other reviews, I ordered my shoes a half-size bigger than I might otherwise, which was definitely needed. They are a snug and comfortable fit...now, anyway. These shoes definitely take time to break in; the soles are hard and inflexible, as is the heel. I'm sure this will help make them last, but I didn't take the time to break mine in and suffered blisters for it. Though they were described as fuchsia, they are decidedly bright red (the image is accurate). They are stylish and will attract attention! They also clean up well. I stumbled into some mud and was afraid I'd ruined my new shoes, but a little water and a paper towel was all I needed for them to look brand new again. I love the idea of the pocket, but found it uncomfortable to keep my key in while I was out. I'm glad I bought these shoes!

I love red, and when I saw them on the feet of someone at the gym, I asked where she got them and she said Zappos! They are of good quality, cute, and the size is my regular size. I received them within a few days. This is a good price and no shipping costs, too!

These KangaROOs ares some of the best shoes ever made. They may not be as popular as Nike, but there just as nice. If you buy these products, you'll never regret it. I promise. If you need good arch support, you need these shoes. I highly recommend these shoes to anyone, from under 1 day old to over 100 years old. Anyone will love these sneakers.

I love these shoes. Comfy, cute, supportive. I highly recommend them. I\'ve gotten lots of compliments. They look great with shorts and jeans alike. I have flat feet and I like a shoe that doesn\'t make my feet hurt after a few hours of wearing them, and these passed that test!

I like these shoes... they are a little darker fuchsia than I had hoped, but they are not red like they appear in the pic. They are comfortable and light weight. The color has bled a little onto the white part of the sole, and I have never gotten them wet, but it’s not too bad, just a tiny bit pink.

Fantastic! I typically wear New Balance WX01 D-width running shoes, so I do have wide feet. These ROOS are perfect for wide feet. They're actually a tiny bit wider than New Balance D-widths. Other than the width, it's true to size. Don't expect to play tennis in these though, the soles don't bend that easily. It'll require some breaking in. And don't worry about the pockets being bulky, they're actually flush against the shoes. I personally don't use them at all.

I bought these shoes recently for my birthday. They are so cute! I had some Kangaroos way back when I was in first grade so I decided to go the nostalgic route and buy some. The color "Aquarius" was brighter than I thought from the picture online -- closer to neon bright. My only complaint was that the right shoe kept rubbing up and down against my ankle/heel and I got a nasty blister. This has never happened to me with a tennis shoe, only with strappy high heels, so I was a little disappointed. I think these were a tad too big for me, maybe half a size, but I didn't want to return them because they're so cute. Get half a size smaller than usual.

I hated this sneaker. Unfortunately this is due to plantar fasciitis. I had developed a mild case of it, and started wearing these sneakers hoping they'd alleviate the pain. They caused more pain. So I hated them. It also had no arch support and I'm a severe under-pronator. Lastly, the color was atrocious, I just found it way too bright and attention getting (I bought them in red which was a major mistake). I just found the brightness unflattering and I regret purchasing them. My Puma's were a better support with my PF, they were the Puma: Cabana Racer II Wn's.

Ah, KangaROOS. They were so hard to find, but now after I've hunted them down, ordered them from this website, and received them, I'm so very happy. They really are wonderful shoes. The style is amazing, so '80s, so fun! The pockets are flush against the shoe, so they don't stick out or anything. They are aesthetically superb. And functionality is excellent as well - the pockets are the coolest thing ever, with a velcro pocket over a zippered pocket so your hidden treasure won't fall out. I keep a buck or two in 'em in case I need to run up to the 7-Eleven for a Slurpee. I must note though, the fit is a little weensy bit small. You would do well to order a half size bigger than you think. And the back part that touches your ankle is a little stiff at first, which might cause a blister if you don't wear socks, but it's not terrible, and after wearing them a bit it softens up and is much more comfortable. Overall, I love this shoe. Nobody else has them (because you can't find them in stores around here), and they are a beautiful, retro, fun and classic pair of shoes. I will only wear KangaROOS from now on until I die.

I have been wanting a pair of 'Roos for a while but was hesitant to buy them online since I was not sure how they would fit/feel. I went with my usual size, and they are great. Love love love them!

I am a faithful roos wearer, and have been for years. I loved the lotus style and pretty much now pick my pairs based on colors, I trust the brand so much. But this last pair is like a torture device. The heel in the back totally cut up and blistered my left heel so badly I have had to wear flip flops for days. I am still going to try and break them in with thicker socks, and the right foot shoe has all the comfort that I have known roos to provide, especially for my wide and short feet, so I have hope. The shoes are cute and the color is true to the picture.

Great shoes! They remind me of my childhood...one of the reasons I got them, but they are comfortable also. I'd order from Zappos again, too; they have a lot of selection you can't find anywhere else!
