I bought the Black/Meadow for my nephew as he wears a size 14 and skate shoes in that size are hard to find at the local stores.  He loves the look of these shoes (he likes a simpler shoe with nothing too "loud") and has said he has received many, many compliments on them from his friends.  The panel in the middle of the shoe actually looks like a web and is very attractive.  He says they are very comfortable now but were a little tight in the beginning. He said after wearing them for a few days the slight tightness went away.  They have a "Vans" look to them.  Overall he is very, very happy with them.
