Good quality and very comfortable, but fit is too small. Should 've ordered a half size up. A friend who has a pair of Suavs confirmed he always orders a half size up also

They fit great, very comfortable, but I hate how squeaky they are when I walk around.

Wish they had a wide and wish these would work for me because they look great and are lightweight and flexible. I have wide feet and these are way too narrow

Very comfortable, more in-house shoes than sneakers you might run in. Nice hybrid, get-around shoes. Downside is that this is no support between between the eyelets which means they buckle making an arch which makes them appear untidy or the wrong size. Not horrible. Just looks wonk.

These had a lot of promise and I 'm very disappointed I had to return them but they run narrow; I don 't have wide feet but you could see my pinky toe bulging over the side of the shoe, not the look I 'm going for. Very lightweight and the fabric was cool.

Hello! I love the shoes, but I am currently waiting on an exchange (for both me and my wife) because they run a half size too small in our opinion.

I really like this shoe, and I wish I could rate it higher. Honestly, I love how lightweight and easy to get in and out of it actually is. This has become my go-to for running around town, walking the dogs, or just lounging. But, I would not wear these out to dinner, nor would I wear them to the office (in a post-pandemic world). I did find that the rubber sole while sock-less lead to a rather uncomfortable feel on the soles of my feet after extended walking for a few hours.
Where the heel of the material meets the sole is my main issue. The heel can slip as you walk, with fabric bunching under the heel of your actual foot, resulting in an awkward gait. Unless the shoe's laces are drawn uncomfortably tight your foot can easily slide around inside which can lead to injury. While these shoes are advertised to be worn without socks, I have found that wearing socks with them completely resolves this issue. So for me, it could just be that sizing is to blame.
Unfortunately, there were no half sizes available - so I went with a size 9. Generally speaking, this is actually my size (with the major brands). However, I have found with many speciality brand shoes purchased online; that sizing down to a 8.5 can lead to a better fit (tho not always the case).
Overall the quality is great, and I love the concept. Unfortunately in practice, it does not work quite as well as I had hoped. And at a $100+ price point, I am not interested in trying others.

They are packable and lightweight. They look like the picture (in grey) but they are not that comfortable. I bought them as an alternative to Allbirds. They cannot be worn without socks as the part right after the toes has a hard upper part and the heels hurt my feet. When I put on socks, the heels still hurt.

it 's a great, breathable, lightweight shoe. i have wide feet and honestly go with a size bigger if you do. the edges of my feet somewhat hang off the edge of the shoe and it gets a little getting used to. within the first day of walking in some trails. i walked over a branch and it snapped my lace right in half. other than that, not a bad shoe

I think these shoes are a bit narrow for my foot, and my heel hits right at the edge, but my toes have good room. I feel like if I had gone a size up they would have felt too big/ baggy on the stretch. They are super convenient to throw on, but definitely for casual walking only / dancing in them can be a bit precarious because of how easy they can slip on and off! Also, they are getting a hole on the top of the left shoe (watch for an email coming soon customer service!). Only have had them since February and do not wear them often; only washed once. Maybe a random defect?

The Zilker is a wonderful shoe and very comfortable. However, I wish the shoe was just a little wider or had a W option. I have bunions. The shoe was comfortable enough, but the bunions are very visible and would certainly wear a hole through the fabric before long. I returned the pair I bought.

Super comfy shoes, but they are too big, which I did not realize until I wore them out twice and they stretched a bit, but website says no exchanges after wearing. Was worried about buying shoes with this price tag and now I'm regretting it :worried:

They are alright. I regret paying $90 for them. They are too stretchy and my feet slide around on the soles. I think if I wore them to take a walk or something like that Id get blisters. The soles are comfortable. There is just way too much give in the material.

These shoes aren't bad, but they just don't fit exactly right. I think one issue is that I should have ordered a half size smaller, but I didn't decide that until after walking in them for a few days. There is just a little too much play in the tow box, and I feel like I am always adjusting them.
They might also be a little on the narrow side. If I went a half size smaller I wonder if that would be a problem.
One other strange thing I've noticed is that after wearing the shoes without socks for a few days, the insole is developing a bit of a texture. I wonder if this will get worse.
If these go on sale, I may consider buying another pair in the half size smaller, but I'm still undecided. They really do look nice, but personally they were marketing to me on the comfort as much as the looks, and I'm not 100% sure about the comfort.

Good shoe, light and like the fabric, sizes tend to run big. I'm a 10.5 and it easily is an inch too long. Bottom is pretty uncomfortable, I get it to keep it light but not a great shoe for walking on rocks or anything that has some edge to it.

Very very thin insoles, where the heel of the insole whenever walked on pushed down on the bottom back of the shoe. Making you buy heeled insoles for the shoe to make them comfortable

Light. Order your actual size. Nothing smaller. Do not buy if you have wide feet.

The sizing is a mess. I am a solid 8.5 womens shoe and since Suavs doesnt have half sizes I have two pairs of their shoes, one in an 8 and one is a 9 and neither fit. The comfort is legit though and i do recommend these shoes. I just wish they would get half sizes.

At first they were a 5 but the more I wear them the more they just become ok. I wear between an 8- 8.5 and I got and 8. I should have gotten an 8.5 maybe. The first couple of days I wore them all day long and now I can only wear them like 2-3 hrs before they hurt my feet.

These shoes are nice looking, and comfortable, However, they make this horrendous squeaking noise whenever I take a step!!! very similar to squeaky rain boots!! this really takes points away from quality. I definitely will not be a return customer.

I had to return and buy a full size up. The order, return, and exchange process was very easy! I like the shoes... but they don 't feel like they are on tightly. And they are uncomfortable while driving. However I like how they look lol. So I 'd buy again. Just an interesting shoe. You 'll have to see for yourself.

They're okay an they work. At their core, there' little difference between these and Chuck Taylors except the price is higher. Glad I tried them, but I won't be a repeat customer.
