Best running shoes I've ever owned. Exceptional cushioning.

I normally wouldn't consider a synthetic leather shoe, because I'd never seen any that weren't awful in nearly every way possible. The only reason I considered these is because I needed shoes that fit very particular criteria and one of them was that they're synthetic. So I ordered a pair to evaluate them and the verdict is very positive.
It's not real leather, but it's close. It actually reminds me of cheap leather shoes, but without all the creasing (like comfortable Reeboks, which used loose leather for comfort). The rubber sole seems comfortable and the synthetic lining looks like it'll be easy to keep clean. It has average arch support and the insole is stuck in place, but it does offer good cushioning.
I ordered my normal sneaker size and it fits great, so I'd say the sizing is perfect (I wear a a half size larger in New Balance and sometimes with Nike). The laces are a little long, but just a little and they're nice laces.
Overall, they're nice shoes. No, they're not real leather and I didn't judge them as if they were. But there are some advantages with synthetic leather shoes and these will work great for those who understand they're not leather.

Never had vans before, thought I would give them a try. They are very well made and sturdy. The only reason I gave them 4 stars was the first day I wore them I got a blister on the back of my heel from them. Hopefully I can break them in with no more blisters! I really like the shoes so I hope they work out!

Nice stylish shoes that fit great and feel good when I'm walking and on my feet for long periods of time. Not much of an arch support but they have really good cushioning insoles. I got them on the cheap so money well spent.

I'm very pleased with these shoes. They are put together well, and the material, while not actual leather, is pretty close to a leather look and feel. The sizing is accurate, which is a nice change. I'm so tired of getting shoes that claim to be size 11 but are so small I can't get my foot in them! These size 11 shoes are actually size 11.
They are very comfortable to wear. Normally it takes me at least a few hours (if not days) to break in a pair of shoes. These were comfortable from the get go. There is ample padding inside and the square end allows for comfort rather than squished together toes.
The sole is very grippy even on slick wet surfaces. They don't squeak when walking across a glossy floor. The shoes initially creaked a bit, with the creaking coming from the sides rather than the sole. The creaking went away after a few hours of wearing.
Zero complaints. They fit well, are well made, are very comfortable, and provide excellent grip. Five stars!

I was looking for a pair for barefoot-no sock wear. I wear a 10.5 with socks. For barefoot use, I prefer the 10 that typically fits out of the box. That didn’t happen here. The shoes in barefoot are cramped and stiff.
These are short in the toe and flops a blister on the heel. The sole is quite rigid. No doubt, the heel/sole could be solved with a double-sock break-in. With just one pair of socks, the toe is really too tight and the heel is still hot.
Otherwise, the shoes look great.

Alpine Swiss has never disappointed in the past. My 15 year old started working out, and these sneakers make for the perfect gym shoe. The black is sleek, no frills, but holds up great. Sizing is true and comfortable. I wouldn’t go hiking in these, but they are a stylish and functional pair of sneakers. We are happy with them!

) One trick I learned is that sometimes a half to one full size larger can provide enough additional width that I don't necessarily need a designated "wide width" shoe. So that is where I try a size 11 womens (or size 9 mens). The additional length is negligible, but the added width is somehow often enough to make it work. That was my game plan with the Oryn sneakers, and why I selected them. If they fit, great. If not, well.. at least I tried. That was a long way of saying that...
These FIT! Both pairs fit. They somehow make my feet look more narrow. I also have high arches, so I wasn't sure how slipping my foot into a shoe would be. There is enough flexibility that it is no problem. It is also the same mild flexibility that accommodates my wide feet, and at no point do I feel any pressure or rubbing. WOW. Length wise, they fit- but take note.. there isn't much additional length on mine and considering I intentionally went with a larger size, these may run small in that area by about 1/2 a size-- or will just fit (do you have a morton toe?)
SO far, I am pleased with my experience with Oryn sneakers. Been wearing them daily now. If I think of anything else worth sharing, I will come back to update.

Bought these for my best friends daughters first birthday. I got a size 5 (a little too big) so she would have some room to grow into them. They're ADORABLE.
