For some reason, the photos of the men's version of the Nylite in white shoes a dull grey version and the women's looks much whiter. I converted the 8.5 mens to a 10 womens, and I received a very white version in a perfect fit.

Hey everybody, heads up! If you order the kids pair they are exactly like the ones we used to wear. I am a size 7 n ordered a size 5. That fits perfectly, are comfortable and comes with the soft terry cloth around the ankle opening.

Runs small, I had to send it back for a bigger size but after I got the fit right I am very happy with the shoe. I had a pair some 20 years ago. love that these keep coming back in style.

The tongue of the shoe was poorly sewn and rubs on the top of my foot. The metal grommets are not coated on the inside of the shoes and leave black marks on the shoelaces, tongue, and on my foot. I've bought these shoes before and the quality has gone way down.

They are not as comfy as the old Tretorns - as other reviews warned they have lost some of the padding on the heel and inside the shoe. I like the look and they are not uncomfortable - I just decided they would not be going with me on an upcoming trip that will involve lots of walking and standing since there are better options.

Have worn these every summer for years--always have a new clean pair on hand and an old dirty pair for messy days in the yard.

Not the same quality as the Tretorn tennis sneakers of my youth. Much thinner and flimsier. Returning.

I just ordered these and love them, but cannot believe that anyone would say these fit true to size. I am always a size 10, and ordered a 10 in these and they are at least a half size too large -- maybe even a full size. Returning for a 9.5 and hoping those fit.

I was so excited to have a pair of the shoes I loved as a teenager only to be disappointed that they are not at all the quality they once were. With no terry padding and only a thin layer of canvas, they do not look or feel like the Tretorns we wore back in the day. So sad.

Love my Tretorns! I wore these a lot in the '80s. Recently, I've had trouble finding "basic" tennis shoes. Suddenly I remember Tretorns and was thrilled to see that they were still made. These are classic. They run a little small to wear with socks. But I planned to wear mine without. So my normal 7.5 fits just fine. They wash easily, and look great. They even have more support than I remember, which is nice now that I am older. I've gotten many compliments since I've been wearing them around.

These shoes bear no resemblance to the original Tretorns and in fact to call them that is an embarrassment. The quality is poor and as is the construction and materials used. I was so happy to find Tretorns but was so disappointed with the quality that I am sending them back.

I have worn this shoe since the 1980's. It always fit perfectly. Now, they have changed it so that it is very wide, and no longer fits. I cannot understand the rationale behind this change.

I have been trying to order my 4th pair of Tretorn (all originally purchased on Zappos) because I loved my first three. I've now ordered two seemingly identical 7.5 women's shoes and both of them are badly mis-sized so I've had to return both. Hoping the third time is a charm! My rating is based on this current issue, not my overall prior satisfaction of the shoe.

Although, I like the style of these Tretorn sneakers I was very disappointed with the quality of them. I wore Tretorn all threw high school and college and they're not the same.

I wore Tretorns as a teenager and loved every pair. Unfortunately these sneakers are not made with the same quality. Very disappointing.

Was so hoping for the shoe of my youth-sadly these were the exact opposite, cheaply made, thin material, no terry lining and not half as comfortable. It seems nothing has quality anymore - sadly returned - not Zappos fault - they are awesome - just not a quality shoe like it used to be.

Comfort and style, love this sneaker. I was afraid it might be a little "old lady" since a lot of the reviewers said they have been wearing it since the seventies, but no such thing, it's a flattering and very stylish sneaker perfect for city walking.

I miss my old Tretorn's. My old ones were soft and cushiony. Theses were not. They also rubbed across the tops of my feet. I wanted to love them, but I have to return them.

I have worn Tretorns since the 1970s and love them. They do run a wee bit small, especially after washing. Seem to shrink lengthwise. I ordered a half size up this time. Instead of a 7, got 7.5, and they fit great. Can't wait to wear them! Quite happy with Deep Peacock color. Like the Peacoat Navy as well, such a classic, but please get other fun colors! Yellow, red, orange, green, bright blue. Thank you, Zappos!

I have worn these shoes for 30 years like most of the reviewers... They have gone downhill. They are now made overseas (my 10 year old ones were made in the Philippines) and are NOWHERE near as comfortable as they used to be. Sad because they were solo comfortable before and now … well ... I sent them back … sad, sad, and sad.

Tretorn has been a favorite of mine for years and the are the original originals. Still super cushioned inside and fit true to size. I just wish I could keep them as white as they are out of the box!

I love these shoes. I ordered a half size larger after reading the reviews and I would've been fine had I ordered my usual size. I wouldn't say they run small. And I have wide feet. Mine are fairly loose on me. But not so terrible that I'd bother to return them. I love them. I actually get compliments on them, mostly from people remembering Tretorns back in the day, but even from people who have no idea. I think it's a bonus that I never see anyone else wearing them, although my son said his friend has a pair so perhaps they're making a comeback.

I wore Tretorns as a kid and when I could no longer stand the smell of my daughter's Chucks I searched for a sweat wicking shoe. I remembered Tretorn fondly and tried them. She loves them, they are comfortable (and she is picky) and the don't smell. She now has two pair.

I am very disappointed in the changes that 25 years has brought to these shoes. They are extremely cheaply made. They are going back. I am stunned at how these were outstanding quality shoes years ago, and there is nothing to them today.
