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.

I'm very pleased with these shoes. They are put together well, and the material, while not actual leather, is pretty close to a leather look and feel. The sizing is accurate, which is a nice change. I'm so tired of getting shoes that claim to be size 11 but are so small I can't get my foot in them! These size 11 shoes are actually size 11.
They are very comfortable to wear. Normally it takes me at least a few hours (if not days) to break in a pair of shoes. These were comfortable from the get go. There is ample padding inside and the square end allows for comfort rather than squished together toes.
The sole is very grippy even on slick wet surfaces. They don't squeak when walking across a glossy floor. The shoes initially creaked a bit, with the creaking coming from the sides rather than the sole. The creaking went away after a few hours of wearing.
Zero complaints. They fit well, are well made, are very comfortable, and provide excellent grip. Five stars!

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.

Still have the black, as reviewed; also still have the white-ish that I got before the black and a silver-grey color I got after. The rubbing on the 'pinky toe' is still an issue (I love to just throw on shoes in summer, no socks. [My Boomer Mom gave up the ghost chastising me for that a looong time ago -lol] and that will cause a red, sore spot on the outside of my little toe within an hour or three. MUST WEAR THE NO SHOW SOCKS with this style.) I have highish arches. If I wear these shoes for a lot of walking or standing, at the end of the day when I take them off I will get a foot cramp as there is zero arch support. I did have to buy a pair of my old brand when my kid ended up in ICU because these are never gonna be 'standing around or pounding the pavement' comfortable. These are cute shoes first. Finally, I wear the white for every day activities. So they need washing a lot. You gotta have some sort of oxi additive and you just about need to soak or they come back yellow. Bleach worsens this, well water (how I started) or county water that is purified with chlorine (where I am now) - the white will yellow without a whitening laundry additive. So I'm down to like a 4 on my review because these shoes are too expensive to be this high maintenance.
I've worn nothing but Skechers for 12+ years. Got my first pair of Chuck Taylor Shoreline and was hooked. This was my second pair (my white pair are versatile but I needed black to match the majority of the rest of my wardrobe). Comfortable shoes BUT you will need the Chuck Taylor compatible socks, otherwise you may get a blister on the outside of a toe.

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.

Super comfortable. You're likely to want another pair~
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
