Toats gnar!

I ordered this for my father-in-law who is in assisted living. He needs a comfortable shoe that is easy to take on and off. The first pair I ordered was too short and too tight. I reordered a wider shoe one size larger and it fits well and is very comfortable.

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.

My husband has always used sketchers for coaching basketball and loves the support. These are just as good as the ones he has paid much more for.

wearing these around my apartment, they seem like well made, good quality sneakers that offer a lot of foot support and comfort despite being a low budget edition of this famous brand, However, they are still new and questions about stretching and durability remain unanswered.

Reviewer Robert J Melton

These ran a little small but after wearing them for a few days they fit perfectly. These are very comfortable and I love the look.

I love Keds Kickstart sneakers. This is my third pair. These run very true to size. I measure 5.5 and on the upper end of a medium width. I usually size up to a 6 in all my shoes, and I did this with my first two pairs. That was a mistake. Even though I wear no-show cotton socks with these, the 5.5 is perfect. If you wear your sneakers barefoot, definitely do not size up!

If the kickstart feels narrow to you, pull the laces out completely, gently stretch them open, put them on you feet, stand up in them, THEN loosely lace them. Within a week, they will start to stretch, and you’ll need to tighten the laces all the way down.

I really like the black slub satin. There’s a subtle sheen to the satin, and the plush velvet laces are just the right touch.

This is my 6th pair of these shoes. I wear them everyday to work. Hard sole shoes hurt my feet so I switched to black sneakers. These have a good cushion. They last about 6 months, and then the inside lining starts to deteriorate. That's about the same length of time that I get out of my cross trainers that I use on the weekends and for exercise.

Reviewer Linda H Fleming

I ordered this item via Amazon Online and received it without any delays or problems. The shoes felt great on my feet right out of the box at a most reasonable price! I wear them daily and cherish the comfort and traction. I have had problems with my feet aching before this pair of shoes but now I walk around without any discomfort. The only feature left to evaluate is how they feel on my feet awhile down the road. At present, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product to others. This is my true story and I'm sticking to it for now! LOL
