I really like these. I have been wearing Vans KVD shoes (low profile) for years now and they stopped making them so I got these to replace those. These are thinner and not as "tennis shoe-y" as the Vans but they are nice and perfect for what I am looking for. They don't grip my heel like my vans do so I will probably have to get inserts to help keep my foot from slipping out but I feel like a 7.5 would be too small.
