These are a nice sleek causal shoe, that fit as expected. They pretty much match with anything which is cool. They are comfortable and seem to be made well. I think my only complaint is the tongue. It's very thin and short, hard to get a grip on it to slip the shoe on. Otherwise overall happy with the shoe.

We bought these shoes for our 13 year old son. As my wife wears a similar shoe size, she tried them on as well. First of all, these look super stylish. What we like most is that they are slip ons so even though they have lace ups for tightening/loosening, they are easy to get on and off (which is crucial for our son to get out the door as he moves slower than molasses). Anyway, both my wife and my son say the soles make them feel like they are walking on marshmallows. They are light weight and super comfortable and thus, perfect for walking. While they haven't yet been tested on a run, my wife (who is a marathon runner) suspects that these shoes do not have enough support for serious runs. However, for long walks and general athletic activities, they should be more than adequate. We highly recommend these shoes based on appearance and comfort.

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.

The go-to 'non-athletic' athletic shoe frankly. I've been buying the 574's for like 20-some years for basic purpose of getting around with jeans. Super comfortable everyday wear. No a particularly good running shoe but that might just be me.
This is also the first pair of Black. I should have picked grey on second thought.

These shoes are nice looking, the leather very pliable and attractive. The soles have zero arch support and very minimal padding. The sole also doesn’t bend very easily but this might change as you break in the shoe. The standard size is quite narrow. They look great but feel maybe not so great. 3.5 stars for style over function.

The People Footwear Ace Sneakers fit true to size. The sizing is unisex. I have a women’s size 10, men’s size 8. They fit a woman’s size 10 foot, and are easy to slide on and off. They really are a combination of a sneaker and a slide.
They can be worn with or without socks. The holes on the top and sides that make up the design are open. So if you wear these in wet conditions, your feet will get wet.
I think they are cute, especially if you like this style of shoes. They’re like Crocs but look a bit nicer. The grey main color and red accents look good on men or women.
The shoes have some arch support and good soles. I wouldn’t wear them for a hike, but they would be good for running errands in the summer, walking around the park or mall or beach, that sort of thing. The shoes are really easy to clean, I throw this type of shoes in the washer when they get dirty.

The Columbia Fairbanks are comfortable, supportive, and have a good sole. The grippy sole is the most important part of a shoe for me, since I have an older individual wearing these sneakers, and avoiding slipping/falling is super important. The shoes are worn for daily walking about and work well for that.
The arch support feels great; there’s no foot fatigue at the end of a day wearing these. The mesh is breathable, but doesn’t block out any water, including puddles.
The sizing is true to size.
The look of the wide lacing is a personal preference (not a big fan) but definitely makes putting the shoes on and taking them off much easier than a narrow-tongued sneaker. Overall, the look of the shoe isn’t too athletic, so it could be worn in a variety of settings if you’re looking for comfort/support.

Purchased these for my husband as work shoes and he loved them!

This shoe in size 13 fits me as expected/true to size. They're pretty comfortable. I really like them. I left off one star just because there's a spot on the side that looks a little wrinkled but its only minor. I want the other colors now 👍

My husband loves this sneaker. What a relief as he is the most difficult guy when it comes to buying shoes. According to him, they never fit right. These sneakers look very nice right of the box. The insole is memory foam, so they are very comfy.
