The shoes look nice overall on the outside, but the inner sole colored my socks a little bit + they are a bit squeaky

I really do love these shoes, BUT they got a tiny hole in the toe area after a couple weeks of wearing them. I'm super bummed as they are so comfy and adorable, but I cant wear them anymore now that they have a hole in them.

These shoes are really cool and different and I loved them until I tried to walk in them. True: I have an abnormal right foot, so this has to be taken into consideration when reading this review.l When I tried to walk in them they felt very unstable. As far as standing in them, I think they are probably extremely comfortable. But I also think even a person with normal feet might find them to be a bit unstable. I truly wish I could have kept them, but had to send them back. I definitely would not recommend them to a friend.

I took a chance on these, even though there were many reviews about the mesh ripping. Sadly they didn't last for me. I think you have a foot that's even slightly wide, these won't work. There is definitely a design flaw, there should be tighter woven, reinforced mesh at the seams where the mesh meets the rear of the shoe. These shoes are super comfortable and very stylish, but after a couple weeks the mesh began to rip at the edges. I'm sad I had to return them, I really wanted them to work.

Pretty comfortable. The support around the ankle is very low. I've found that they fit better with thinner no show socks. The laces don't stay tied unless they are double knotted. More cute than practical but maybe with time they will grow on me.

I love the way these look--so high fashion! But the body is made of a stretchy material yet it is loose. If I don't lace them up tight or wear giant socks, they flop off my foot. The body should be tighter and take advantage of the material. I sent them back :/

I love the way these look and feel so much. 140 is alot for me to spend on shoes and I bought them at first sight. Unfortunately I have worn them about 5 times and there is already a small hole on the top. Very disappointing.

Ordered a n 8.5. I usually get a 9 to make room for my bunion and inserts . These were a whole size bigger. Felt like a 9.5.
Had to return them. The top was so thin! Mwsh. Room for my bunion, but my bunion was unprotected if I were to bump it. I need more than a thin mesh top so me upper Foot and toes are protected.

Love everything about these sneakers except the sizing! I have 10 different pairs of sorel shoes all size 7 but these were huge! My ankle kept slipping out - could have gone down at least a whole size. Unfortunate the sizing is so off and stinks to pay for return shipping.

These are the odd shoes that, for me at least, feel good for standing but not for walking. At least not for walking of any duration, and esp not city walking on hard pavement. The top of the shoe is very comfortable, and the way that you can tie it snugly and close to the foot feels good, too. But even after I sized down a 1/2 size, my heel lifted with every step, and my foot keeps moving around as a result. Very attractive, though.

The shoes are very light and comfortable. But. They don't work for me for walking. Still have the sore feet after walking.

I love the look and comfort. An area on the toe fabric, is starting to get a run in it and my black sock can be seen through the toe of the shoe. This happened with a pair of the red ones and I had to send back for a refund. I love these shoes but the fabric used is a quality problem.

The impact sneakers look great and I really wanted them to work. However, the fit is not right for me and I ended up returning them. I am a size 6 in shoes. My feet are bordering wide and my ankles are slim.
The side of the shoes pinch the widest part of my feet. On the other hand, the heel part of the shoes are so wide that my heels slip off the shoes as I walk, no matter how tight the laces are.
The shoes may work great for someone with narrow feet and ankles that are not too slim.

They run very narrow. I am a straight B width. Was very disappointed in that and had to return. Great looking shoe and could tell they would be comfortable if the width was correct for me.

I've had these in the bright red and I LOVE the color, style, fit, etc. I get tons of compliments and questions of what kind of shoes are they. But.. the material is so thin and tore in two places. I'm so upset because I love them. I'm typically an 8.5 in all shoes.. and I have another style sneaker and 3 styles of boots. All 8.5 and fit great. I suggest going up a half size. Maybe that would help?

Reviews were saying true to size so that's what I bought. I wear a rock solid 9 in every shoe I buy and my toes are up on the end of the shoe nudging my toenails. Did not feel this until after I wore for a few hours. Hope they will exchange them for 1/2 size up.

Ran about half a size big and I am pretty true to size. Mesh on the toe area had already tore a little after wearing a couple of times.

Cute shoes. I had to return them because they were too large. The laces are extremely long and I suppose they should wrap around the bottom of the shoe? Interesting design, just not what I was looking for.

I love these shoes but unfortunately I'm noticing the black elastic hoops that the shoe laces go through are beginning to pull away from the shoe. I've only had them a few weeks and I don't think this should happen. I do feel they provide a lot of support but I'm afraid they aren't going to last too long when the strap holder breaks.

I wanted to love these shoes since the color (Dioxide Gold) was what first caught my attention. Admittedly I expected more for the price tag, the sole on these looked very much like the iRi nyc tennis shoe which are uber comfy, however, once I put them on, the sole looked weird on my foot and the entire shoe felt flimsy. I own several pairs of Sorel boots and love them, unfortunately, these are going back.
