not crazy about color and style, a little too masculine and clunky looking for me. Comfortable though and well made. Good arch support. Needed socks.

These are amazing. Great running shoes. I tend to be very hard on my heels running... these shoes have great heel support and cushion.

I ordered these for running, but tried them last week at work and they felt great. I am on my feet on hard floors, but the shoes felt light. My legs and feet felt great at the end of the day and there was absolutely no break in time. I did order a half size down as someone suggested in another review and it worked for me.

Regarding looks, I misspoke in earlier review The Core Black (looks gray) and the EArth/clear are the tweedy looking ones that I liked the look of. I really hated the look of the Black/Utiity black version which looks a bit like shiny camo (and would probably be really cute on someone much younger since they have a bit of a Manga vibe) These are the most comfortable shoes I have tried on this year so now I just need to get the right size in the color I like. Thank you Zappos for incredible customer service and return policies.

Love the tweedy look of the Earth and Gray versions. Extremely comfortable upper and wonderful supportive and cushioned sole which really stabilized my tendency to underpronation. I tried both 11 and 11.5 even though I usually wear 12s because of other reviewers. These shoes definitely run large. I think the 11.5 is best fit for me but just a tiny bit wide. Arch support was perfect for my fallen arches

Very comfortable, lightweight shoe. I bought these for work where I am on my feet for 4-5 hours at a gym. Ordered a full size smaller and fit perfectly.

Super light weight, good support. Returned for a 1/2 size smaller, not sure why this shoe runs so large.

These shoes are terrific. I put them on and they were immediately comfortable. Also accommodated my orthotic as well. Room toe box. Follow advice and order one size down. I normally wear 8.5 and I ordered an 8 and it fits perfect.

Very comfortable, supportive, lots of room in the toe box. Great for a wider fore front. I am an oversupinator and on my feet all day. I typically have to bring a couple of pairs to shoes to work to change into. They are very light, I would purchase again.

Like everyone else has said, you should order an entire size down. I'm usually an 8, but ordered a 7 and glad I did. These are super comfortable and look great!

Love these! Recovering from a back injury so the ability to slip on while still having support is perfect. Look great with leggings.

Purchased these because of the color and they looked comfortable. Like most reviews stated, these run a little big. I'm normally a 7.5 and have wide feet, so sometimes brands such as Nike tend to fit a little snug. These actually feel like they have some room in the toe and I think I could have gone down to a 7. Overall, very comfortable fit and I got lots of compliments when I've worn them!

These shoes run at least a half size to full size large. If you are a runner you might want to get half size smaller for a little room in the toe,, I am returning the half size smaller for full size smaller.. Nice looking shoe however

These look great but run enormous. I'm a 7.5 in other sneakers/shoes and my feet were swimming in these. I'm going to order down a full size.

I like these shoes quite a bit. They give great support and have a nice bounce. Love the style as well. They are true to size but are a little tight on me as I have a wide foot. Nothing major that won't stretch out in time. I do recommend them.

Great looking shoe and super comfortable! Just a little too big. Almost felt a whole size larger. Other than that I would highly recommend.

The name of the shoe fits the fact that there is a "bounce" in the shoe which I really like. The sizing is very weird and the only downfall of the shoe. I am typically an 8 and a 7 fits best. Overall, it is a really cool looking shoe.

Love this shoe! Was skeptical about the color but loved it! Unfortunately had to return because they were too big. Would exchange for smaller size but it's not available. Order half size down.

Fairly comfortable, though a bit right over top of foot. Back of ankle nice and snug (in a good way).

these are half a size larger than what I usually wear--comfortable but I will be exchanging them for something else as I have never worn the Alphabounce and am reluctant about the plantar support over time.
