These shoes are freakin awesome. I got the black canvas ones and they look way cuter on than they do in the picture. I actually bought them in a store bc I found a sale, so I got to try on these ones in black and in tan, and also the slip-on "Volley" version. The lace-ups are WAY better (looks and comfort). The black has a kind of cool almost army-boot look to them without being weirdly bulky. I wear a size 7 and the 37 fits great. Nice arch & super comfy. Perfect alternative to regular tennis shoes, which I think can be somewhat lame at times.
