They’re lightweight shoes and they’re comfortable. The color I slightly different then I thought but it’s no big deal. I like buying Nikes for work since I’m walking all day.

Pretty comfortable from day one. I walk/jog about 20k steps a day and haven't experienced any real foot pain. Fits better than I was hoping.

I was disappointed in the quality of the sole. Its was more of a foam sole than a leather sole. Its not comfy to wear to all day. I do not expect the shoe to last more than a few months.

These shoes are really lightweight, which in theory is great. But they’re pretty flimsy too. I wore them to work for a couple of weeks and they’ve already started to fall apart (I’m a dental assistant). I also started to notice that I was having a lot more hip and back pain when wearing these since they provide little to no support. I hardly wear these anymore because of how awkward and uncomfortable my ankles and feet feel in them :(

I bought these for my daughter for track and she loves them! They are very light and comfortable for running. We tried a few different pairs and these are the winners!

Look very upscale. Feel dreamy.
Soft as a glove.
I wear size 10 ladies
I ordered 10.5 which very glad I did.
I highly recommend!

Beautiful fit. Purchased for my teenage daughter who is between a 10 and 11 in shoes and very difficult to fit. She has worn them for days, and absolutely loves them. I loved finding them at this price point. One thing to note, she is not a runner or an athlete. This review is based on the casual wear she puts them through during the normal school day.

My teenage daughter is on her schools cross country team, and swears by these shoes. I love that they cost 1/2 the price of the shoes all the other girls are wearing.

Comfy everyday sneakers. I wouldn’t wear them for a high impact work out but they are great for day to day wear, walking dog, grocery shopping etc. I ordered a 9W and they fit great.

Fit and size of shoe is perfect! The black shoe is perfect for my job as a server and they're comfortable for being on my feet all day. The price is low enough to be completely reasonable for a good shoe without breaking the bank

I love these shoes! I’m still a novice runner and these are my first real running shoes. (Previously, I was using a pair of Kangaroos from Payless.) They are a great value. They are super comfortable, my feet feel light and cool. The sole is flexible, but does offer a little support. (I tend to supinate.)
And, I think they look great, too.

I love the shoes. I get complemented on them regularly. The soles of the shoes are a little hard but it feels better after they’re broken in.

Bought this shoe for waitressing. Fit is great although the first few nights I wore these, the right shoe rubbed my ankle raw (even through a sock). It’s been about a week and I guess they just needed to be broken in because they are pretty comfy now and no longer rub. I would recommend and buy this shoe again.

Very comfortable, stylish, and breathable. My feet are a little wider and Nike's normally run narrow so opting for the wide was a good choice for me.

For years I wore a 6 1/2. These days I wear either a 6 1/2 Wide or a 7. I bought these in a 6 1/2 wide. They fit but feel just a little bit snug so I worry they will be uncomfortable with any amount of walking. I am going to try them in a 7 W (the wide because they have laces so I can always make them a little bit more snug).

These shoes were so uncomfortable for a long day of standing. I have blisters from the sides rubbing against my feet.

This is the most uncomfortable sneaker I have ever tried on in my life! I am always a size 6 in sneakers regardless of the brand. In this shoe, I had 2 extra inches of length at the toe but it was very narrow across the top of my foot. And it put pressure on the ball of my toes when I walked so it was very uncomfortable. Immediate return!

These fit just as well as my Downshifter 7s. I wear these for daily exercise walks with my dog and a weekly outdoor boot camp group. They have great support.

Great for running. I always size up 1 size in running shoes. Second pair of this shoe, it’s that good.

Great for running on paved surfaces. I always size up in running shoes so I normally wear a 9 but bought a 10. Second pair of this shoe and it’s a great price.

I have the WORST luck finding shoes to fit me. I normally size up to fit my width. This time I decided to purchase my correct size but in a W. I am SO happy that I made this purchase. The fit is absolutely perfect! Normally shoes are somewhat uncomfortable right out of the box but I put these on and went to an all day park in my area with NO trouble at all. So happy with this purchase!
