Customer Reviews Palladium Flex Lace

Love these sneakers! Purchased because another reviewer mentioned the toe bed is wide enough for those of us with wider feet -- and it's true. Very comfortable -- the only time I've worn other footwear since I bought them is on days when it's too hot for sneakers.

I wore out my Converse sneakers and decided to try out a similar style but a different brand with these Palladium shoes, and I'm really glad that I did. The green color is nice and bright and minty. Perfect for summer. I also have a problem with my feet looking big if I wear sneakers with shorts because of my small calves and ankles, but the shape of these shoes is very flattering. The only downside is they basically have no padding or support, so if I spend the whole day standing or do more than casual walking my feet start to ache a little.

I had to throw out my Converse, and I wanted to try another brand since everyone is wearing white Cons these days. I tried PF Flyers which didn't meet my expectations in terms of style and quality. The Palladium Flex Lace was the solution. Made well, a unique style, comfortable, and even look good on larger sized feet. I usually wear a 8.5 and these fit perfectly in my size.

Was looking for something a little different from the Tom's that everyone is wearing. Ordered several items to try, and even though these were the least expensive, I liked them best. I found them true to size - I wear a 7.5 and that worked for me (sometimes I go up to 8 for wide-ish feet, didn't find that necessary here). Cute shoes, seem durable, I hope washable...soles are thin, my feet feel a little bruised after a long day in these, but they are surprisingly comfortable.

These shoes are cute and comfortable. Kind of a nice old school vibe. Low profile without a lot of poofiness. Comfortable on my wide feet.

Love this shoe! Cute, spunky and comfortable. Needed a little break-in time on the heel, but it didn't take long. I have similar rocket dogs, but these have much more support and cushion than those OR Converse. I would buy them again!

Finally - a sneaker in this style that doesn't hurt my feet! Very pleased with this shoe. Converse are narrow and tight, most Keds have to be 1/2 size to long to be comfortable. I do not have a very wide foot, however, so wide widths swallow me. This shoe had a wide enough toe box to be comfortable, I wore brand new all day - no pain. I will be buying these in other colors.

Two years later, I still wear these shoes and have since purchased 6 others of the same model so I can have them in different colors. Palladium seems to be done making the Flex Lace, which really saddens me because they're my favorite sneaker of all time. Thankfully, I now have 7 pairs which don't seem to be giving out anytime soon.

I'm coming up on my two year anniversary with these shoes, and let me tell you: I love them so much I bought them in 5 other colors. I have flat, wide feet and these are comfortable like none other. Prior to this I wore Rocket Dog flat sneakers, but the soles became paper thin in those after about 6 months. Still going strong with my Flex Lace.

Adorable. Different. These are well made, have lots of style and go with most outfits. In the Palladium high top style I always size down by a half, but in the Flex Lace I get my regular size. They're super comfortable.

The shoes are very cute and run true to size. I've had to return a number of pairs of shoes lately (ordered from another source) because the size 8.5 was more like a size 8. I was very happy when these arrived - a true 8.5. A few reviewers have mentioned that they are comfortable for people with wide feet. I have very narrow feet and I find them very comfortable too. Usually I wear a pair of no show socks to give a little cushioning. There is a slight arch support but it's very slight. When I need to walk a mile or so and don't want to wear running shoes, I wear these.

I was looking for a white shoe that would pair with capris, shorts, skirts, and dresses for an upcoming trip where we'll be walking a lot every day. There are plenty of shoes that would fit the bill but for me, the kicker is that they absolutly must be compatible with my orthotic inserts. I have flat feet and really need my custom arch supports on long walking days, so it's critical that I be able to remove the insole, put in my inserts, and cover those with shoe liners. These shoes worked PERFECTLY for my needs! I tried other sneakers that looked just as cute (Superga, Converse Jack Purcells, etc.), but those shoes have the liners glued down - I'd have to somehow dissect them to get the liners out. Added bonus on these - they're nice and lightweight, lighter than the others I tried. I'm so pleased that Zappos makes it so easy to order several pairs and return the ones that don't work out. I'm so excited to try these in Europe and will update my post after the trip to let y'all know how they held up!

These were true to size- some sneakers of this style I need to order a half size larger to get enough room in the toe box, but not with these. They're very simplistic, little arch support (which I expected), but very comfortable and lightweight on the foot.

Very comfy and cute but not much padding or support. Fit true to size. Looking forward to sporting them for spring once all this snow melts ;)

I got a pair of these and the flex ballets when I was pregnant all last summer with my son. I work in a lab and needed to wear close toed shoes. These were my favorite work shoes. They were cool, stylish, had enough give to stretch with my swollen pregnancy feet and made my feet look small and cute (especially when worn with shorts or skirts). They also held up really well, so they're pretty durable for a canvas sneaker. I have worn them on and off through the winter (they are not meant for cold weather though) and I'll be breaking them out again for regular rotation this spring. I definitely recommend these.

Super comfortable - will buy these again!!!

Love the shoe but it runs small.

Didn't think I'd like these so much, but these are a keeper. No arch support, but they're cuter than they appear online. Super comfortable, right out of the box. Somehow I feel better wearing these around than plain gym sneakers.

Comfortable and wide on toe area. Looks very nice but lacks heel support. Tried at home and my feet got very tired after about 15 minutes.

It is hard to find sneakers that have a wide enough foot bed so they don't jam your toes together. These do and are very comfortable and flexible, while still being really cute and flattering!

These are so cute on! They are comfortable, too. I wear them without socks with shorts in the summer.

Excellent shoes! They run very true to size (sometimes I am a 6.5, sometimes a 7, the 6.5 fits perfect). My feet are on the wide side of medium, and these fit perfect. These are flat on the inside, with no arch support. But, there is a removable foot bed, and my green "superfeet" inserts fit perfectly.

I love these cute comfy tennis shoes! My feet are a little wider and these fit perfect. Not as much arch support as I would like but still comfy for me. I love the style too! Just exactly what I was looking for! I ordered grey and white too!! Love them!

These are plain little shoes that I adore. I purchased the black ones and they go with everything! I would recommend an insole for people who need arch support because the shoe has little to none but other than that they're solid.
