Fresh kicks, beware of the size!Good looking sneakers... easy to dress up or down. Good quality. They run nearly one size smaller than the size on the box. I am a 10.5 in most other brands, but I have to buy an 11.5 in the Creative Recs... BEWARE! Otherwise I think I may have found one of my favorite new brands.

Pretty Sweet - So before I bought these shoes, I read all of the reviews posted about them. Many people commented on how they are uncomfortable and stiff around the ankle. Well, this is true. After the first day of wearing them laced nice and tight, my ankles were sore and swollen. After the second day showed no improvement, I just decided not to lace them all the way and they still stayed on fine. Now they are my favorite shoes. Moral: don't waste time and sacrifice comfort, just don't lace them to the top.

Sweet looking torture device - Enough space length-wise, but these shoes are super-narrow. Not just that, but the hi-top design is stiff and uncomfortable. Still, they look pretty sweet. I'm willing to trade in a little comfort for looks - returning the hi-tops and getting a pair of low top Creative Recs instead.

Sweetest shoes I’ve ever seen.This shoe looks so good it hurts. I love the way the velcro strap feels on my foot. I like to call this an "alien athletic shoe". That’s my kind of shoe. Its like an athletic hiking shoe too. I love all of the different colors this shoe comes in; it took me a lot of debating to finally settle on the one for me. I love them; so far I only wear them on special occasions. As a first time Zappos shopper I loved my experience, I really appreciated other feedback about the shoe too. I normally wear a 7 1/2 in men’s shoes, but after reading that they run a little narrower I chose to get the 1/2 size bigger, I am glad I did because they fit awesome. I recommend breaking them in a bit before going for a long walk, etc.

Stiff feeling but still cool - I was totally excited to find this shoe in a smaller size (I am a girl). Most cool high tops only go to men's 8 or so. Anyhow, the colors are rad... I have the pair with blue suede. My complaint is that they are really thin and stiff feeling. Not much cushiness on the bottom or sides. I would describe them as very low profile. The ankle area is so stiff that I had actual bruising around my leg where the top of the shoe hit! They are broken in now and are more comfortable... they do look cool, but are more 'city shoe' then I had expected.
