The Stnley

Unisex

OMG THESE ARE AMAZING!!! These have become my absolute favorite shoes (and I have a LOT of shoes). They are SUPER comfortable. The arch support and insoles provide great support, and feel like I'm walking on supportive marshmallows (in the best way). The high-top style provides great ankle support as well, and are flexible enough for very comfortable biking, walking, and hiking. The soles are nice and non-slippy on all kinds of surfaces, rain or shine. I like that I can customize the snug-ness by either putting the zipper up/down and/or tightening the laces. They are also SUPER stylish and look unlike anything I have in my collection--kind of euro-hiker meets sneaker. As others have mentioned, they are hard to get on and off for the first couple of wears, but even a few days in and they are already much easier (and the loops on the top and back make the process much easier). I typically wear a women's size 8, and the men's 7/women's 8.5 is perfect. i have the black orca color with the brownish sole, and LOVE the black and dark grey accents (it's mostly black with a grey sheen on the upper part).

Definitely a little tough to get on, even with the cordage as loose as it would go. I’m hoping they will loosen up a bit after I break them in. I’m typically an 8.5, so that’s what I ordered. With THIN socks they will be fine, but if you live in a colder climate, (Georgia girl, here ?????)I’d suggest sizing up to accommodate thicker socks. I’m keeping these shoes because they are so different than anything I own, and I have A LOT of shoes. They will look great with jeans or leggings. They really are comfortable and appear to be well made. If you’re on the fence, I say go for it, because the return/exchange process with Zappos is ridiculously easy! I’d also like to add, these shoes would be great for a guy or a girl.

First of all, these shoes are an experience. They get more comfortable as they warm up by your body temperature. Very pleasant to walk in. Once you manage to put them on, that is. I was hoping that they will stretch out and in time it will be easier to put them on. However, I didn't get the chance to see if that will be the case. The shoes were delivered on Oct. 7, 2021. My teen child wore them to school thrice, I wore them twice when it was slightly chillier -- we wear the same size shoes, 6-6.5. This morning, while my child was walking to school, one of the little metal elements holding the shoelaces popped out. There were a few of reasons why I agreed to pay more than $200 for these shoes: they are vegan, they seem to be good quality, and they look good. Sadly, only the first and the last of my expectations were met in real life.

One of the lace clasps broke off literally the first day i wore it. Worst shoe purchase i have ever made.
