Customer Reviews GREATS Royale

I wear a 10 in Nike, 9.5 sneaker, and 9C dress shoe. Size 9 in these felt great, maybe a little tight but not to the point where I would exchange for 9.5. Ordered these on Sunday and received Monday afternoon - I’m not sure how Zappos does it but that’s top-tier customer service especially in the middle of a pandemic! The product is slightly less luxurious than Common Projects but the price was way less.

I bought these in Nero and am really happy with the quality and comfort. Minus one star for more cost cutting by GREATS switching from waxed laces to standard cotton. Sizing: I tried a couple sizes and ended up sticking with my typical street shoe / sneaker size - same as i wear in Stan Smiths and Sperry Top Siders. The Royale is a bit roomy but the half-size down was a bit short, even though it felt like a better fit through the instep. Stellar customer service from Zappos as usual.

Was hoping for a bit more quality and more comfort. The leather feels very stiff and after a few months it is not really breaking in. The sole is also very stiff, and hardly bends when walking. Not a re-buy for me.

These shoes are the best, comfort, looks, material and more. I have purchased them in every color, high tops and low.

Beautiful sneakers, but stiff and uncomfortable. The tongue, in particular, is too stiff.

Beautiful leather great construction. However shoes state made in Portugal, and not in Italy as stated in the website.

These shoes look great, but are too stiff and heavy to be comfortable shoes for walking around town.

Nice looking shoe but, sneaker felt a full size bigger than the size I ordered.

These were heavy and huge in my size. Not for me but might work great if this was the style you wanted.

half size too big.

I used to love Greats. Something happened recently where the sizing feels different and the overall quality has finished greatly (get it?). Greats used to feel luxurious but now they feel plasticy. They lost nice touches like the waxed laces. I need to find a new indy sneaker brand for around $200.

I tried these on, walked around my living room and they felt great, snug, no slipping just enough room to wiggle my toes. The next day I decided to wear them to work and, half way through my .07 mile walk, my heels started bleeding. The shoes are now bloody not to mention extremely painful so they will go in the bin.
