I bought a pair of these for each of my daughters to wear to school.  First of all, they look cool and other than the laces being really thin - I'm sure we'll have to replace them sooner than later - they are great, durable shoes.  One very important item of note - they run about a size too small. My daughters typically wear an 11 and a 10 respectively in shoes like Stride Rite. The size 11 didn't fit my oldest at all, and the 10 didn't fit my youngest either, so I gave my younger daughter the 11s and they fit great. Trouble was, I had to contact shoes.com directly to get a return authorization to send the other pair back. By the time I got that all worked out, they were sold out of the size 12s I needed.  My daughter had her heart set on this pair so I luckily found them directly on Teva's website for the same price, tax free with free shipping!  Shoes.com did email me a return shipping label and I mailed the package back the other day. No refund yet, so hopefully that will all work out ok too.  I think from now on though I will buy directly from the retailer rather than from their Amazon store.  It's just not worth the hassle if you need to return something.  Love buying stuff that ships directly from Amazon, but the resellers not so much.
