Customer Reviews Tretorn Nylite Canvas

I have worn Tretorns since the early 70s. At the time they were the absolute best for comfort, padding and durability. Now, I still wear them because, unfortunately, they are the best available. Interior padding is very lacking, and I miss the terry collar around the top of the shoe. They are still comfortable for knock around shoes, and look okay. Shame that even the really good companies have to cut corners. I would pay more to have the originals back.

I've been wearing these shoes for more than 30 years! Love the comfort and the fact that you can toss them into the wash and they come out clean without losing their shape. Caution, I wear a 9 in everything, but a 9.5 in this shoe. You may need a half size larger, particularly if you plan to wash and dry them.

I wore these as a kid, and then for many years wore the major tennis shoe brands. I've recently gone back to these to solve some support issues with my foot and ankle muscles. Wearing these along with the 5-finger shoes fixed my foot issues in a matter of weeks. It did the trick. These are so comfortable too. Good all-around soft tennis sneaker. Great for walking too. Love the classic design as well. Thanks for carrying these!

Really disappointing. I loved these as a kid, and they are nothing like they used to be. Run extremely small. But the really disappointing part is how cheaply made they now are. Gone is the wonderful terry cloth lining and substantial fabric of the shoe. Returned right away.

This Tretorn canvas shoe is the classiest sneaker around today. It isn't clunky yet it has all the comforts one would expect in a sneaker. I would suggest ordering your normal size. It is a true-to-fit sneaker.

I always loved the fit and feel of these tennis shoes. They are impossible to find until Zappos. Thanks for keeping my 80 year old feet comfortable!

I normally wear a size 8, so I ordered an 8. With socks, the 8 was a little short. So I am returning for an 8½. The width was fine, but I have narrow feet. The shoes are comfortable and the fabric was soft. I like the old-fashioned style and since I do not intend to wear these for athletic activities, I do not need the support and cushioning of bulkier shoes.

I was hesitant to order these after reading so many reviews about how they had changed over the years. I am so glad I ordered them anyway! I love these shoes! They are slightly different from the '80s version in that they don't have terry cloth around the heel (the kids version appears to have it though). The other difference is that they seem more padded on the footbed. I remember them being hard on the foot before and these new ones are super comfy all day- very cushy for a flat shoe. I did order a half size bigger than my normal shoe size, but I do that with all my sneakers. They are awfully cute too - much girlier than Converse.

I am a product of the 80's and Tretorns, Davey's, and Dolphin shorts all take me back. This shoe is fantastic. It fits true to size and conforms to my feet. I have wide flat feet but with these shoes I feel like I have all the support I need. They are great.

This style Tretorn are what I have worn for the past 5-6 years. I am not very athletic so I enjoy the light weight comfortable fit of this shoe. It is not a proper choice if you intend it for sports, but very nice to wear walking on vacation.

I bought a pair of shoes; well, I ordered the wrong size. I called them and they sent me my size the very next day and gave me a return label to send the others back. That was awesome. Shop with them. It's great and if you happen to get the wrong thing they will fix it immediately. I will shop again.

Wonderful as has been over the years... no other sports shoe fits exactly like Tretorns.

Love these shoes! Comfy and remind me of my days as a kid, without looking dorky or too trendy.

I love these "old school" tennis shoes. I used to wear these years ago, and I am glad to see they are back. Comfy and cute!

Love these shoes! Casual yet stylish. More feminine and comfortable than Converse. Very happy with my purchase.

Fit true to size and surprisingly comfortable considering there is little support. Love the retro look!

This is a great little every day shoe. Comfortable, true to size fit and not outrageously expensive. I always have a pair in my closet.

Tretorn tennies are the most comfortable shoes ever invented. I've enjoyed them for years. They are made of lightweight canvas that washes well in the machine, wears well and feels great. I wear them all summer especially when sandals aren't enough. Love 'em forever.

Tretorn's were all the rage when I was in high-school, so it was neat that I could still buy these. They aren't as thick and heavy as I remember them, but I still love them. They came two days after I ordered them. Zappos is absolutely great to deal with!

Just as expected! Ordered for our college daughter and she loves them. Amazing service and shipping was so fast!

I have worn Tretorn tennis shoes for 30 years and have tried the big names and usually end up giving them away before they get soiled! Love my Tretorn's!

ZAPPOS IS THE BEST!

Love these shoes! A flash back to my past. I sprayed them with ScotchGard before I wore them the first time and now they are very easy to clean. I think they may run a little on the small side but after a few wearings they feel perfect.

Tretorn has made the best tennis shoe for many years. They have the best design and fit super well.

I agree with other reviews that this shoe appears to be constructed differently than the shoe of the 80s; however, I find them as comfortable as the originals and possibly a little lighter weight. This is still a great shoe despite the tweaks that have been made over time. Comfortable, breathable and stylish!
