They're chucks....can't go wrong

Great fit. True to US sizing. Very comfortable. Just got back from my first 2 mile walk in these shoes and they feel so good and light on my feet I have the Soulfully youthful exuberance of a school boy in my stride (memories, reminiscing the good ol' days). What surprised me the most is I haven't added comfort gel insoles and they don't need them. Honestly the most comfortable shoe I've worn in a long long time. Even better then my nike air felt (still have them to wear in bad weather). I love this pair of Stan Smith shoes even more than being barefoot on the park grass or dancing in the sand at the ocean. I'm old school impressed, old school quality.

I bought these for my 3 year old who is in a size 9 right now and these are way too big on him. Even with thick socks. But we love converse and this isn't his first pair. They do run about a size too large but I knew that and was anticipating him growing into them. The brand is perfect for a rough and tumble little boy! We got the elastic laces for them too so they're easy to slip on and off (even when he grows into them the rest of the way) which makes them even better!

No issues at all.

The first time I saw the "Backpack" line of shoes from New Balance, I knew that I'd one day be adding a pair to my collections of 574's. Nylon uppers just seems like a fantastic idea, since nylon is so easy to clean and keep clean. I liked the idea of being able to get them dirty, knowing that they'll clean up better then other 574's. Because of this, I might even wear them when I normally wouldn't want to get my shoes dirty.
I haven't had them long enough to make that decision, or know exactly how well they'll clean up, but there is something else different about them that immediately caught my attention. Ever since New Balance changed the manufacturing process for the 574's, I think they've been smaller and less comfortable then versions before that time. I just purchased another pair of 574's a couple of weeks back and noticed this immediately when putting them on, as I always do with a new pair of 574's nowadays.
This pair, however, feels more like the older 574's, because they're so comfortable. My first thought was that maybe they made them like the old ones, but after comparing them to numerous other pairs I have, both old and new, I don't think that's it. The soles still match the newer version (i.e. they're more narrow), but still, I'm pretty sure they have more toe room in the uppers, because they both look and feel as if they do.
I've been a little disappointed with every pair I've purchased, since they changed the manufacturing process, because they're just not as comfortable as they used to be. For whatever reason, these, however, seem closer to what I remember a new pair feeling like and that has me really happy. They are very comfortable shoes.

Was hard to wear due to my toes crunching up at the end of the shoe.
I wear a size 8 and ordered a size 8, had to return them and get another size.

Very happy with the fit and feel of these Sneakers. Would buy again for sure.

I normally size up for my athletic shoes, but my standard size works fine for casual wear. Comfortable and good looking. Don't expect a supportive athletic shoe out of these - more form over function, kind of a cushy slipper feel to them. I'd buy them again.

Nothing sketcy about Sketcher. A few years ago I had some major foot trouble so since then I have been careful to protect my hoofies with ankle support and molded foot inserts. None of that matters if you have lousy shoes. I first bought a pair of Skechers Men's Afterburn Memory-Foam Lace-up Sneakers at a small box store after seeing them advertised. Best cheap shoe I ever wore. Liked them so much that I just bought a backup pair here...but I didn't have to. My older pair is still going strong. Lastability. So, if you're not some kind of shoe diva and are looking for a good ride...get yours. I like 'em!

They fit well, but as these style shoes does not have arch support, I use an arch support that you can get from store (about $12/pair) and these shoes are so comfortable and fits well. I am generally a men's size 12, but with these men's size 11 work perfect. Not to mention they are awesome looking shoes.
