View Product DetailsCustomer Reviews
What customers say:
Customers overwhelmingly praise these shoes for exceptional comfort and cushioning, with many comparing the feel to walking on clouds. Reviewers consistently highlight substantial heel cushioning, thermoregulating footbeds, and all-day wearability that prevents blisters during long walks or work shifts. However, a notable group expresses frustration with the narrow toe box, reporting squished toes even after sizing up. Several also mention difficulty with the lacing system due to narrow eyelets and thick laces. Despite these fit and design concerns, most customers consider the comfort benefits worthwhile and highly recommend them.

These shoes have become my new favorites! The length is good for me and the shoes are substantial. I did feel a lack of arch support at first, but the remedy was in the lacing of t

A bit wide.....................
Great looking shoes with a comfortable insole, but I couldn't tighten the laces enough to overcome a little too much width.

Comfortable!
These tennis shoes are extremely comfortable. They feel like big fluffy slippers. I haven’t had them super long but I feel like they are going to hold up.

Unfortunately with shipping the shoes arrived 3 days late. The length was good, but I will return them because they are much too narrow for my feet.

The lace holes are too tight!
Size Purchased: 9

These are quite comfortable shoes that fit as I expected, but tightening/loosening the laces is incredibly difficult, perhaps because of the suede around them? But makes it quit

Not great shoes
Size Purchased: 8 1/2
Used for: Casual or Every Day
Not bad support, but very narrow toe box and laces difficult to pull through holes to adjust. And I even went up a size to try to remedy the toe space.
