I love these! They are the perfect "old school" sneaker I've been searching for. I wear a 6.5 in sandals and a 7 in most close-toe shoes, and the mens 5 (wmns 6.5) fit perfectly. I have a slightly slim foot, and while the toe area is roomy it isn't so wide that my toes flop around. Also, these were surprisingly comfortable right out of the box. The arch support isn't on the level of a "comfort" shoe, but it is definitely more supportive than the standard Converse or Van sneaker -- which tend to run wide for me and are really not very supportive at all, although I like the look; I can wear these all day and they still feel great! I got the gray because I wanted them to be less likely to look dirty over time and the color is a good bridge between white and a true gray.

Bought for every day shoes to wear around for errands and such. Length-wise they fit, but looked a little like clown shoes. They were a little on the narrow side and pinched my big toe quite a bit. Going up a size might have helped, but I feel like that would have made them loose around the ankle and prone to chaffing. They also look a lot nicer in the pictures. "The sole of Australia" is made in China.

Got the size 14, hoping that I'd be able to squeeze into it despite being size 15. They pretty much fit to size, and it didn't work. That said, they shared a problem familiar to people who buy large sizes: that they basically look like stretch limousine versions of the actually shoe, with the visual composition feeling slightly off, as it was designed with something closer to a size 10 in mind probably. If you are a normal sized person who knows not the burden of having surfboards for feet, these will probably work for you Also not everyone and their uncle has one like Chucks or Classic Vans, so they got that going for them

Very comfortable and a lot more affordable than other brands. Perfect for an afternoon walk or even if you work standing all day. Wish I could have all colors!

I hardly write a review. But I feel l must write one about this. Very light, Very very comfy. White sneakers just I have been hunting for this whole summer. Most are leather this year Which I think it is too hot for summer style. Not this one, this is perfect for Jeans, shorts, city sun dress. And not to mention, the price is amazing for this quality shoes. Great job Zappos bring in this brand all the way from Australia. Not everywhere can find this brand in the U.S. for sure. Highly recommended every one! Crab it before it gone!

Fun, old-school shoe. I played tennis in them recently, and they felt pretty good -- not great, but pretty good. Not a lot of support, as you can imagine. Best for casual wearing. No animals were killed in the making of the shoe, from what I could tell, and that's important to me. Not sure what kind of glue they use, though.

Converse, Vans

Can't beat these for the price! Classic styling, comfortable from the first wear and perfect for everyday wear. Definitely will be buying more.

This is the first pair of Volley shoes I've owned and I am very impressed. They fit true to size and are super comfy. They definitely qualify as 'everyday' shoes. I actually get a lot of compliments due to the color highlight around the ankle. I'll likely being buying more when this pair wears out.

Great comfortable casual shoe. The sole is very tacky, low wear resistant rubber, so limited use is advised. I'd advise indoor use over long distance paved hikes. I wear a size 14 US in running athletics typically and this ran slightly over. The toe is not curved up so that snagging is typical for the first few wears. No arch support, but a step up from DC or Vans when going out to a gastro pub or nightclub style venue. Build has been excellent with sole and stitching staying right where they should over several nights out.

Got the size I normally get and they fit perfectly. They look good although they get dirty very easily as any white shoe would. They seem like the kind of shoes that you are proud to wear dirty though. It gives them some character. These are pretty inexpensive at the time of this review so I'd say just pick them up if you are considering.

I use these shoes because I chop would competitively for a living and they are the best possible shoe for the job. You can feel everything underneath you and they are super flexible. They only get better as you wear them.

I chose an additional pair of these shoes for a recent trip that involved a lot of walking, simply because they are a stylish way to stay comfortable without resorting to running shoes. They also will not scrape the skin covering the Achilles tendon, even without socks.

Don't believe the people who say to order down a half size! Lies! I listened to the peanut gallery and now...I have regrets. Returning these babies for a bigger size. They look better in person also! Can't wait to get a pair that actually fit. I normally wear a women's 8 in sneakers so i ordered a men's 6, like people said to do. Wrong, they are about 1 size too small. Exchanging for a 7, which will be an 8.5 in women's, we'll see how it goes.

I am normally a size 8 in women's so I bought the 8.5. Definitely way too big so I'm returning for the 7.5. If you are between sizes I would suggest going down a half size.

Grew up middle class, white, everything handed to me, the world my oyster my lobster my sandbox. So what I'm trying to say is..I've had a lot of shoes. A lotta shoes. And these volleys?? They're my favorite shoes of all time. Gotta go a size down though you feel me? Cause these are made like clown shoes. So if you're a ten, get a 9. They might fit a bit tight at first if your wide footed but the canvas will stretch and form to your foot. And that's when beautiful things happen. You feel barefooted in these..but better. Just enough padding just enough feel of the ground beneath your feet. You will feel connected to the planet connected to the earth. These feel like ninja shoes. Kung u shoes whilst being extremely fashionable. No one I've ever met in my life has ever had a pair of volley. All vans and converse here in southern ca. Los Angeles. I am now (but always have been prior to purchasing these) the coolest cat in all of southern Cali. God bless you all. Aumen. Om. Allahu akbar. Om mani padme om. Peace. Love. Volley.

When we lived in Australia I bought my daughter a pair of Volleys. That was 5 years ago and she still wears the worn out things. We live in the US now and thought I would try to get her another pair. She will be so happy when she opens that package. She loves her Volleys!

Great quality shoe. I also have a pair of the Volley International in crimson with suede upper. These shoes are very well made. The sole is very durable and flexible. Very comfortable. I only wish the International with suede upper was available on Zappos!

These shoes are about what I expected in terms of comfort. There is very minimal support of arches going on here but then if you are looking for support, you would not look to canvas shoes with gum soles. They are very lightweight and very overpriced. I saw these same shoes at a big box retailer's online site for less which is what this model is worth in terms of materials.

This is a great shoe for the price. I was looking for light weight and the older style. These fit the bill.

They look great and feel comfortable. Lots of online reviewers said these shoes run large. I'm here to confirm that it's true. I'm a size US 9 Women in all of my athletic and dress shoes, so I stepped it down and ordered the Volley size EU 39, which is labeled as equivalent to US 7 Men's / 8.5 Women's. It's about a size too big -- an inch too long and a little extra side space, even with somewhat thick socks. I am returning them and didn't get to test the grip, but they feel like they could be okay for parkour (which I bought them for) and certainly are very comfy for day shoes.

I love these shoes. I have hallux limitus (limited mobility in my big toe) and wear orthotics. I was able to replace the insole with my orthotics and was good to go.

I bought these shoes purely off browsing for prices, they have an Aldo/Vans feel that is very comfortable. I would recommend for all thinking about buying other colors for spring and summer.

These shoes are perfect for me! Much more comfortable than similar shoes (keds, converse, vans). But I find that I needed a larger size. 12 fits like an 11.
