Air Jordan 4 GS Hyper Violet EDA2757

Reviewer D Templeton

First off, I wear a size 14 in most shoes, including Five Ten Freerider mountain biking shoes. These are only made up to a 13. I heard that they come a little large though and decided to try them out. I'm not sure if this is true across all sizes, but the 13 is more like a 13.75. They ended up fitting me very well. So, be careful on the size.

The main reason I bought these though is that I LOVE the Stealth rubber soles on my MTB shoes and wanted to try out a pair of hiking/approach shoes from Five Ten. Even though the tread pattern doesn't look terribly aggressive, these are the best gripping trail shoes I've owned. They are comfortable all around with a reasonably wide toe box and good cushioning at the top of the tongue and under the ankle. The soles are stiff and took a little while to break in. I still wouldn't say they've "softened" all that much though. The bottom of the shoe is pretty stiff and the inner sole is not very cushy. They are comfortable for wearing all day though. I recently traveled with them for 10 days as my only pair of shoes both walking around town and hiking. So, they're fine. If you like a soft sole or lots of padding though, these are definitely not for you.

The only complaint I have is that these shoes do not breathe well at all. They're mostly a soft leather with a little bit of mesh. The mesh is thick though. My feet get hot in lots of shoes, but these are very hot. The flip side is that they do a decent job of keeping moisture out. During rainy hikes, my feet have stayed pretty dry. For me, the durability is nice. I've beaten up a lot of shoes hiking and I can tell these are going to hold up well. They're very well made and solid.

Overall, I really like these shoes. You just have to be good with the tradeoffs. They choose durability, grip and stiffness over being lightweight and breathable. And I feel like I should repeat that they are not cushy. They have stiff soles, but flex enough to walk around in all day no matter what the terrain. Give them a try if that's what you're after.

The shoes look and feel well made. A plus considering the price. The hook-and-loop fastener makes the shoes easy to put on and take off. There is not a lot of support for the arch of the foot, so I sometimes use an insert for extra support.

My son will not wear shoes that have to be laced so it's always iffy when I try to get him new shoes but he took to these right away. He even quit wearing the 'skater shoes' he's worn for years because they were the most comfortable he could find and were so easy to put on. The fact that they're Sketchers is a plus since that is my favorite brand of shoes Honestly I have nothing bad to say about these shoes. The size ran true to size, they're comfortable to wear, and my demon child practically lives in them now (that's no small feat)

Adidas shell toss have always been my go to shoes. These are authentic adidas shoes. Come in the adidas box, with paper liners. Shoes have held up now 6 months and look brand new still. No complaints for the price from me.

I ordered a 13 was to small, didn’t like the feel of the sneaker trying to replace my sketchers.

In preparation for a trip to Las Vegas, I read an article in Esquire online called How to Dress in Vegas. The outfit the article suggested for daytime at the casinos included a pair of minimalist brown leather sneakers. Naturally, the specific shoes they showed were a big-name brand at a cost of $540. Hoping to find a pair of shoes that looked just like the ones in the Esquire photo, I located these Jousen casual business fashion sneakers. I was not disappointed. They look as good as the $540 shoes at only a tenth of the price. In fact, they may be the best-looking shoes I have ever owned--way classier than the Sketchers I bought a couple of years ago. It is amazing how these shoes are simultaneously dressy and casual. I was complimented on them the first day I wore them. And they are quite comfortable. This is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time.

Bought them for the fiance who has sensitive feet - tired of him in his old man sneakers - look good on him and he has no complaints

Reviewer Emily Mathis

Great shoes would be much better with memory foam insoles.

Reviewer Eric Scot

I have wide feet and most shoes simply won't fit. These were perfect. Great support (no need for inserts Yaay!) and they slip on my wide foot! Great look fit and convenience

Reviewer J Saunders MEd

Memory foam is awesome!
