Customer Reviews Tretorn Nylite Canvas

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!

The only sneaker I can wear and be comfortable. I love my sneakers. When they are old and dirty I wear them out in the garden.

Unfortnately, not as comfortable as they used to be. Not as much inside padding. But the canvas is good and much cooler than leather.

I'm really disappointed in the quality of these Tretorns. They may look somewhat like the ones we remember from the 80s, but these aren't nearly as nice. The canvas is thin, flimsy and wrinkly. They look white indoors, but when I'm in the sunlight I can see a color difference between the canvas and the cloth edging: the edge looks like a glowing white color, while the canvas looks somewhat dingy and yellowed. These shoes also run somewhat long and narrow. I wear either an 8 or 8.5 in most shoes, but the Tretorn 8 feels a little too long (and also pretty narrow, so then tend to hurt the sides of my feet after a while). I have only kept these shoes because they serve a particular fashion purpose for me.

I have worn these shoes for years. There\'s nothing fancy about them but they are lightweight and comfortable. I highly recommend them.

As a stay at home mom, I wanted a cute sneaker to wear during the day to keep up with my busy toddler. I think this sneaker does the trick. They are comfortable, and fit true to size.

Like other reviewers have said, these are not the Tretorns of the 80's. Regardless, I will be keeping mine because they are still 'hip' and you don't see them in all of the chain stores. Thanks Zappos.

Alas, Tretorns will never be same again. Certainly looked like the usual in the photo, but upon receipt, I was extremely disappointed in the quality. No cushioning whatsoever anymore; felt just like a Keds pair of sneaker. Very comfortable and lightweight, but I have little hope they\'ll stand up to the years of rough wear and washing that I\'m used to getting from Tretorns. Another classic bites the dust.

A light weight and ultra comfortable shoe. I have loved this style for decades but have had a hard time finding it in the stores. I used the sizing chart and got a perfect fit.

First of all, I can't say enough good things about how fast Zappos get your stuff to you! The Tretorn upper part is not as cushy as it was in the 80's, but I felt the bottom offered more support than I expected after reading other reviews. These are not the same Tretorns we wore in the 80's, but they are still great shoes.

Love these shoes! They are true to size, very comfortable and the Zappos service was, as always, impeccable.

I wore Tretorn's in high school and college. Always a classic shoe. Looks better than a regular sneaker. Noticed the shoe laces aren't as beefy as they once were, tho they are fine. My kids like some styles of Tretorn's now. They say they are cool and just a little different.

This is the first time I have ordered from Zappos. I was impressed with everything. The person who answered the phone was helpful and just plain nice. My order arrived promptly and the need to return one item was NO hassle. In this age of less, instead of more service it was a pleasure to do business with Zappos.

I was so pleased to find Tretorn sneakers again. Lightweight and comfortable, not clunky like other athletic shoes, yet have good support. Great for walking. I like the way they look!

These are my all time favorite sneakers, and they aren't easy to find! I ordered them and they arrived the next day! I put them on and was transported back in time. Thanks, Zappos, for the selection and the service!

I have worn Tretorn tennis shoes for many, many years and thoroughly enjoyed every pair. I think I have every color combo they made. The latest pair I received today are such a disappointment, I am returning them. The quality is just not there any longer. They are really an equivalent of a "Keds" and no longer have the terrycloth lining or the padding in the soles that the shoe has historically had. The "white/white" was really an ecru/funky beige color.

Love these shoes......very comfortable.They do not have as much padding around the ankle part of the shoe that they once had.....but, they still are a very comfortable shoe to wear.

I wore Tretorns as a kid. They used to have a terrycloth footbed which provided decent cushioning. The Tretorns of 2010 have all the style, but are clearly made with a little less quality. For a simple canvas sneaker, they’re OK. They seemed to run about a half size large.

I think another reviewer said it best when they remarked that while these Tretorns look like the "old school" tennis shoes of our youth, they aren’t made to the same standard any more. Gone is the comfy padding and yes, they are now more like a pair of Keds. Having said that, they still look great and that’s what really counts for me. They are a classic and I’ll probably end up buying another pair when these get worn out.
