This pair of sneakers does not appear to be what it looks like as advertised. Looks are of very poor quality...Disappointed.

The received product looks very little like what is displayed at Amazon or on the very packaging it comes in.  The shirt and the pants are made of the exact same material, and both are a medium brown that looks a little distressed.  Not a bad look for either, except both are the exact same.  The shirt is olive drab green.  There are laces at the ends of the sleeves, which is not really shown in any picture.  Also, everything that laces comes with about a foot and a half of extra shoelace tie (not really a bad thing, but will need to be cut down).  All in all, it's a passable Inigo Montoya costume, it just feels like false advertising since the advertised picture looks so much better.

The shoe is not as pictured.  The shoe that I received is all one color, that of the top part of the shoe shown on the website.  Accuracy is important!  The shoes look alright and they fit so I decided to keep them.

These shoes fit fine but I have no idea why they call them fashion sneakers....they are really pretty ugly. I kept them because they are comfortable and I needed something right now.

The actual grips on the item are just square patterned and go the entire length of the foot, not as pictured on the model where it appears to have some shape following the foot contours with seperate grips for the toes. This is apparent if you click on other images, you can see how the actual product is a bit different than what is pictured on the package. The pictured sock looks better on the foot and is more flattering, in my opinion. Not important to the functionality, just asthetics but I wanted to point it out.

I wanted a sneaker with the following characteristics: wide sizes, extra coverage on the ankle, and leather. The Nike Air Monarch was good, but every person remarked that they were extremely ugly and uncool. These people were correct, but I need wide shoes. The Nikes looked like boats because they are only available in extra wide 4E. Wide sneakers look especially ugly in white or black shiny leather.

This New Balance sneaker was a much better looking alternative. They don't look so enormous because NB is available in wide 2E, which gave me plenty of width. I went with navy leather because dark colors tend to make things look smaller and don't look so dirty. The leather is matte and looks fine. Leather is tough & durable for rough usage, and mesh sneakers make my feet cold up here in the northeast. The leather is a bit stiff and could be more supple, but this is a fairly cheap sneaker and may need more usage to get broken in. Overall, the performance and comfort of this sneaker is good, but I have owned better AND much, much worse. This sneaker will not win any beauty contests. However, at least in navy leather, this sneaker looks decent and won't embarrass you. I can recommend this sneaker, especially when you consider the very limited selection of wide sneakers.

Some owners have complained that they are poorly made and fall apart quickly. I haven't owned them a long time, but I have done a bit of work in them. I don't notice any unusual signs of early deterioration. Most sneakers are cheaply and quickly made in Asia. It is highly likely that some defective lemons will be produced. Exchange them for a pair that is not defective. I am fairly certain that $160 Nikes are made in the same places.

Update: I still don't see any unusual signs of deterioration on these leather sneakers. It seems that most of the complaints come from people that bought the suede version.

Update 2: This sneaker is very comfortable and well-cushioned. It is holding up well under tough usage. I am changing the rating to five stars.

The outer part of the sneaker actually bulges out it almost looks like a clown shoe. There's no inner sole so it's like walking flat footed.

I purchased this shoe because I liked the style of the orange version but when I received the shoes they did not look like the picture at all.  Mine have a green N and the orange is a blood orange. There are also blue parts.  If you look at the pictures of the shoes closely (as of 2/20/13), you'll notice that the orange shoes and the black shoes look different in style to the rest of the bunch:  I'm assuming this is because they are the older version. I received the newer version which isn't pictured in my colors. Also, just like the other reviewers claimed, this shoe is cut very narrow.  I'm usually a 2E so I ordered a 4E and its just barely wide enough.

On the upside, this shoe is very light, breathable, and the tread pattern is decent. The darker reddish orange color is growing on me and I'm replacing the green laces that came with the shoes.

The shoe that arrived does not even look like the same shoe- the color is right but the shoe is more like a platform with a rounded toe.
this affects the fit as well. needs to be a 1/2 size bigger to accommodate the smaller toe box

I'm not sure, but these might be fake- they don't feel at all like my other ECCO women's sneakers that I bought at the store. They feel very stiff and are not soft. I haven't really worn them because the stiffness is very uncomfortable. They look cute though.

These shoes had worn toes and worn heels.  I don't think they are supposed to look like that.  Seems as though the shoe had been worn and resold.  Not happy.

Id like to be able to tell you about the fit, the construction and the comfort level of this shoe but I cant. I ordered it, received it in a timely way but Ive never worn it, never even took it out of the box. The picture of the pair I bought shows a light-to-medium brown shoe but the color is stated as charcoal, which is what I wanted. (Charcoal is in the gray spectrum and no brown colors reside there.)

My past experiences have led me to believe that when inaccuracies like this occur, it is usually the picture that is imprecise. In this specific case, the picture was accurate, the color description misleading.

I understand that Amazon depends on the manufacturer to provide an accurate product description and in fairness to them, the Marc Nason for Skechers box is labeled charcoal. But the shoe is nowhere close.

Alas, this increasingly disappointed Amazon Prime member will return another pair of shoes.

Disappointingly, my son received a Mercurial not a Mercurialx (as pictured). The price was good, and my son says they are comfortable just trying them on. We'll see how it is on the court. But, we are disappointed that it is not as pictured.  It even says I'm doing a review for the Mercurialx. Hmmm... Please, change the picture and description to the correct shoe.

They would be very comfortable if they had a regular back.  The actual fit is more like a mule than a sneaker as it is advertised.  I have a problem with low back shoes and these almost fall off my feet when I tried walking in them.  I will be returning them and I am very disappointed because they would be comfortable if they were a regular shoe as advertised.  The description should be changed to describe the actual style, most definitely not a sneaker as they are described.

The seller sent me shoes that are different than pictured.  Close in appearance, but the sole is different.  May be fakes, not sure.  They are also a bit differnet than two pairs I purchased from a local store.

I don't know why, but these sneakers (black, yellow and pink)are very different from the blue and green ones that I ordered...they are the exact same size and design, but I can't wear these ones. They kill my feet and legs. Disappointed.
