Made this hater of common tennis shoes very very happy!

I really hate tennis shoes. I've never liked how heavy and bulky they feel on my feet. I can't stand to have something too tight on my feet either. I practically live in flip-flops in the summer and slip on type shoes and boots in the winter. I've never been overly happy about wearing tennis shoes because they usually are always thick, with heavy thick soles.
If I must wear tennis shoes I've always resorted to wearing a shoe that looks very much like a converse or vans brand of shoe. I thought I'd give these a go after reading all the reviews on them.
I work 8-10 hours on my feet all day, 5 days a week, and I'm required to wear tennis shoes for my job. My feet were getting SO sore and achy and it was very painful to walk after all day on them. I really wanted something that would give me the support I needed, but wouldn't be bulky and uncomfortable to wear. These Skechers shoes are SO light weight which was a delightful surprise to me. The memory foam is really nice and the support in them are great. I have high arches and I can certainly feel the support in these shoes. It's so hard to find a shoe that has good arch support in them w/out having to buy inserts which can be very expensive. These shoes are not too tight across the top of my foot at all, and fit like a glove.
I *did* go a 1/2 size up, like others suggested in their review. I'm very glad I listened to them and did so. I normally wear a 6 and bought a 6 1/2. PERFECT fit.
The color is SO fun too. I bought these in the Mint. It's a lovely shade of teal in my opinion, not really "mint", though there are mint colored accents along the top (where the laces go) and along the bottom sides above the white soles. The inside is also mint, and the inside foam padding is hot pink. I don't care for pink, but I can't see it as it's on the inside so it's no big deal. The tie-dye part is what is more of a teal-ish color to me. I love that the fabric is mesh-like and will be very breathable material. That's great for me, because I'm sometimes outside for part of my duties at work and in the hot Texas sun, no one likes feeling a slip-n-slide in their shoes from sweating!
I also really appreciated that they included 2 pairs of laces, one was white the other mint colored to match the trimming on the shoes.
These are just awesome tennis shoes and I LOVE the colors offered. It's rare to find a shoe that feels this great and also has style to it that is appealing and fun. Because I wear a uniform at work the only way I can really be fun and express my own character and style is through my footwear and these are perfect. I've gotten complements on them already and have been asked many times, "Where can I get those!"

Lastly- the price. I really was happy to find these shoes under $70. I find that amazing considering their quality and style. Tennis shoes are amazing these days and you spend a lot on lesser quality only to be disappointed later when they hurt or just don't hold up to the hours and hours on your feet. I think I'll be getting another pair of these in the Blue or Black soon. They are just too awesome not to have another pair in my closet!

These shoes just make me happy! I like the oiled leather, these are my second pair. I lost one mate of my first pair during a move and was heartbroken. I still have hope of finding it hidden in a box somewhere, the lone birki sits my shoe rack waiting.... But I couldn't stand it and had to have a new pair.

I originally found this shoe at Marshals for about $25, and I loved it so much I bought a second pair here on Amazon! I truly love this tennis! Im walking and running all day for a living and its such a  cute and comfortable shoe!

Ordered these as a "Father's Day" gift for myself since my prior pair (the neon yellow) was wearing down and the other brands/models I tried just didn't provide the cushioning and support I need as a middle-aged (wince) wannabe all-court warrior (Ranked #1 in Men's Open and 40s Singles in my Section last year).  Couldn't believe how comfortable they felt, right out of the box.  Then I slid my custom insoles under the Asics insoles and it went from "wow, this is great" to "WOW, this is AMAZING!"  Since shoes break down over time, particularly with aggressive use, it's easy to forget how supportive a new pair of shoes can be.  So going from a six-month old pair of Gel-Res 5s to this newly-manufactured pair, with a spunky new color scheme, felt like upgrading to a new model of shoes altogether.  Either that, and/or Asics tweaked their manufacturing process to provide even more cushioning and support with this version than the prior color schemes.

Whatever the case may be, this is unquestionably a serious shoe with serious cushioning and comfort for serious players.  Highly recommended.

Let me give a small disclaimer to this review:  I hate "real" shoes.

By "real" shoes, I mean fashionable shoes.  All shoes that have heels, stupid buckles or bows, silly flats made of hard plastics, and other nonsense that, admittedly, looks fabulous, but is death to my feet.

I just don't have time for being uncomfortable and I'm not so vain that I care what my feet look like.

These shoes are wonderful because they meet all the requirements for my workplace dress code and they are comfortable.  An added bonus for me is our local shoe store is an authorized Birkenstock repair shop.  That means this clogs will last for forever!

If you're thinking of purchasing these, keep these things in mind:

- Birkenstocks require a longer break in period than other shoes.  They soften over time and become custom fit to your foot.
- These are NOT for wandering through puddles.  The cork at the back is sealed, but the sealant will need refreshing occasionally.  I purchased a small bottle of cork glue from my local dealer and make sure to treat the cork occasionally.
- The sole does have latex in it, however, the footbed (the part your feet will come in contact with) is leather.  This was an initial concern for me as I'm allergic to latex.  I haven't had a single reaction to these shoes, so no worries. :)

These shoes are pretty much like a dream come true!  Birkenstock for me marries function and comfort.  Perhaps they aren't the most fashionable, but an extra long slack means that my boss is none the wiser and I don't get lectured about how I live in hippie sandals.

I have been looking for these black patent leather loafers for awhile, but could not find them in my size 8.5 M anywhere.  So, I took a chance on the 8.5 N and lo and behold, once I wedged my foot into them (took about 10 minutes...lol), they felt fine.  Seriously, I was putting them on with socks to see if it might help them stretch out, and they still felt fine.  I'm so happy.  They are so sleek and cool and snazz up any outfit.  If I can find a way to post that bikini-loafer shot I will!  Best shoe ever!  (Obviously, I'm no stranger to hyperbole)

A friend swore by these and I said they didn't have enough cushion for me because I have bulging disks from moving a patient when I was younger... I worked tennis shoes at the time. Finally he said if I didn't like them, he would give me the money I spent. So I bought a pair and WOW!!! They don't "feel" cooshy like a tennis shoe, but after 12-16 hours on my feet, I have NO WHERE NEAR THE PAIN AS THE TENNIS SHOES!!! and they were GOOD shoes!!!  I typically buy a new pair very 12 months, but I work a LOT of OT, so you if you are not on your feet more than half your shift and you only work 40 hrs a week, you could get at least 18, probably 24 months out of them!!!  So yes they are expensive, but their longevity and decreased back pain MORE than make up for that. It would take at least 3-4 pair of expensive tennis shoes to last me the same amount of time and even be close to as easy on my back!!!

Very happy with Brooks tennis shoes. I have problems with new tennis shoes causing blisters on my heels and I also have wide feet. I combined these with some nice socks from balega and they have been great right out of the box.

I am 50+ years an every day flip-flop girl! I walk 2+ miles just about everyday and I hate it when my feet hurt because of poor support, weather flip flops or tennis shoes, etc., etc. These were the answer to truly happy feet! ...and, they look good too! So pleased that my sister in law turned me on to them.

First, I would like to mention that I am a tennis pro, so I have worn thousands of tennis shoes in my 29-year-long tennis life. These are probably the best tennis shoes I ever wore! I had the older version, T9, and they were fantastic, but I wasn't able to wear them again for the past six years, because I was required to wear the shoes we were selling at my previous work place... I decided to give a try to the T22 since they look just as nice as the T9s, and I am so happy to report that they feel just as great! They provide this feeling where you think they were molded to your foot... I will not be wearing any other tennis shoes, until these are available for purchase!

When I first saw these shoes, I was not impressed but after trying them on, I knew I wanted more than one pair!  I have arthritic
toes and have tried on dozens of shoes and have been disappointed. I can wear these all day and be comfortable - no rubbing, no blisters, no sore feet! I wear them for gym, with my shorts, Levi's, and slacks and receive many compliments . .  and I do have more than one pair!

I'm so happy I got these shoes! I've been recently diagnosed with Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis in both feet, but got the clearance to start walking again from my doctor. So far these shoes have been very comfortable, so I can only imagine how awesome they would feel on feet/legs that are not injured! I had to add heel lifts, gel heels, and arch support inserts for now, but that's because of my annoying feet and not the construction of the shoe. My sister uses these for running (which is how I found out about them) and she loves them. I'm debating getting a 2nd pair because for something this supportive you can't beat the price! I was able to walk 45min the other day with no pain, which is the first time in nearly 3 months since that has happened. Can't wait to start running with these shoes!

I'm a lazy shopper and. Go through a lot of heels with work. I also really hate plastic/ synthetic materials on my poor little feet. AND I have little feet (US size 5) so generally it's very hard to find shoes in my size.

These shoes are amazing! They're very slightly lower than what I usually wear, but they've a beautiful heel, the shape of the pointed toe is perfect and the leather and inner sole bits are so sift and comfortable. I live in New York and wound up walking 30 blocks with my boss one day after a meeting and had zero complaints. And another Friday night I went out for dinner downtown with my fiance and it was such a beautiful night we decided to walk home (about 40 blocks) and I felt totally fine AND the heel was still in good shape.

After wearing these, I actually came online and bought two more pairs, because I read that one should rotate with three pairs of shoes in warmer climates.

Amazing heels - I have found my new go-to shoe!

I LOVE these shoes! They're really cute and comfortable. I've gotten so many compliments and my tennis coach was really impressed with my decision. When I first wore these, they would rub against my ankles, causing blisters and it would hurt every time I would walk in them. I found out that it was just that my socks were too thin. Other than that, these shoes seem to fit my feet perfectly even with my floor being fairly wide. I ordered the same size that I do for any other athletic shoes.
I would definitely recommend these shoes! They have really nice tread and I noticed that I can pivot a lot faster when I play tennis which is a plus!

I hate heels, but I LOVE these shoes!  Haven't worn them for a long period of time yet, but so far they do seem very comfortable. Most of all,  I absolutely love the color of these shoes! I will say they are a tiny bit loose on the sides, but I have that problem  with alot of shoes, since I happen to have pretty narrow feet

Shoes got here in 7 days! So fast! I purchased a 9.5 as I normally wear an 8.5-9 in US sizes and was afraid they were going to be too small if I ordered a 9. They fit very well with socks (which is how I will always be wearing them, so it is ok) If you plan on wearing them with only tights, or no socks, I would stick with your normal shoe size unless you have wide feet. As another person mentioned the shoes *DO* smell, but they just smell like glue, and after leaving them out of the box for half a day the majority of the smell was gone. it was no big deal. The little bells are super cute, and super annoying lol, but that's easy to fix by taking the jingly bits out and gluing  the two bells together if you want to have them on there :) The inside of the shoes are so soft and squishy, and they seem very well made. The bottoms of them have music notes, so when you walk on the ground your footprints leave a cute little path. These shoes are full of Kawaii and perfect for any budget lolita!

I bought sneakers off Amazon in the past and there was always something wrong. My friend got these recently and I decided to follow especially because of open vents. It's summer and my feet sweat like hell. Delivery was quick and smooth, I tried them on and they fit perfectly my size 12. And gods - finally my feet get air, no more sweat and torture, I will probably get more of these, they are also solid, high quality, very nice woven insoles and they don't get stained as many other sneakers do. Highly recommend!

UPDATE
After couple of weeks of wearing those I've got some nasty black grease on my left shoe. So I've decided to go ahead and give them some manual wash using non-bleach tide and a hard sponge. As a result - all grease was gone along with some paint on canvas. And I got some nasty whitish spot on one shoe. Didn't want to throw them out and went on washing the other shoe to give them both more or less equal washed out look. But yeah, unfortunately seems like a regular soap and regular detergent will completely destroy these. It's very unfortunate because they are really high quality and really pleasant to wear. But stay away from any dirt, grease etc etc.
I'm actually buying one more in hopes to keep the old pair for outdoor activities and use the new one for job or going out.
