These shoes are great, look awesome, and best of all my shipping was upgraded so I got it in less than 24 hours. I love Zappos!

Worst pair of DVS's I've ever owned. I've only had them a few months and barely even wore them except for going out on special occasions. The sole completely fell apart. What happened to DVS?

Very nice dress shoe. I find these shoes comfortable and stylish, and I haven't had any unusual sounds coming from them as others seem to have. Initially, I ordered the normal width, but they were much too narrow, so I got the wide version. They fit great even though I've never worn a wide in any other shoe. I wouldn't want to walk too far in these, but for my job and for dressy events, they are excellent.

DVS Gavin Classics - I just got these shoes and they are some of the most comfortable I have ever had - they look really cool, too. These are by far the most comfortable and cushy shoes around.

I have had a lot of shoes in my day, but these are top of the list. I have only had one pair of shoes more comfortable than these and those were a pair of Vans. The look isn't bad either. GET ‘EM!

A comfortable classic - Very comfortable shoe. They took a bit of breaking in, but now fit like a glove. My only complaint was a lack of padding in the sole, so I had to put in some cushy inserts and now all is well. Love the style, and there's plenty of width if you require a bit more space.
Brands I'd also recommend: Lakai, Vans, Duffs

I have an old pair of suede Gavins that I love, so when I was looking for a canvas shoe I was happy to see they had canvas Gavins available. These hold up well and look great. My only complaint is that they have terribly uncomfortable insoles, so I highly recommend replacing them. Very comfy with new insoles.

Interesting - This is an overall good shoe. Pros: 1. good look. 2. good for skating. 3. cool on the inside. Cons: 1. no padding above toe. 2. toe wears down fast after skating.

Easy to do, good buy, well worth the money. I am satisfied with my purchase. The shoes are well worth the price. The website was easy to use.

Disappointed
Worst pair of DVS's I've ever owned. I've only had them a few months and barely even wore them except for going out on special occasions. The sole completely fell apart. What happened to DVS?

Nice looking shoe but I ordered one pair and the sole began coming apart within a few days. I ordered a replacement pair and the same exact thing happened. Sadly, the shoe looks good but I ended up after trying 2 pairs going for another brand. What happened to you DVS?

Affordable, stout skate shoes, that have room to stretch, and form to feet. Lace up area is wide, which lets you lace up tight, without completely bringing the eyelets together. Great shoe for skating.

Sizing was right on. Delivery was fast. My son needed these for work at a restaurant. They are no slip and he loves them! Hard to find size 14 off the rack. Zappos made it easy!

I ordered these for my 15 year old daughter. Her school uniform requires an all black shoe/sneaker. They are well made and comfy. She wore them right out of the box with no problems.

Zappos is the only website I buy my shoes from, DVS shoes are very comfortable. I'm going to keep ordering shoes from this website, an the same company. Shipping is really fast, it makes the customers happy. I recommend this website to everyone.

My 3rd pair of DVS - always seem to last ages. Good quality and nice looks. If anything a little narrow across the ball of my foot but that's about normal for me.

I loved this shoe's fit and look but the last pair I bought failed in about 6 months of regular, casual wear. The sole on 1 shoe disconnected from the side-wall. I'll try use some shoe glue to fix it but I'm bummed in the lowered quality. My prior pair of this shoe lasted 2.5 years of regular wear. I do not skate or do any other activities that would be abusive to this shoe.
