Old Skool Mens Skate Shoes (Beige)

Reviewer George F Simons

I am glad I took a chance in these shoes, it’s worth the money!

Reviewer Drew Kime

When my husband's sneakers started wearing out after only a couple of months, he picked these out on Amazon and has been raving about them ever since. He wears a size 8, which is what I ordered, and has a very narrow foot. These fit perfectly.

New Balance makes such nice and affordable shoes. The material does get dirty easily and is hard to clean unless you have the "show cleaners." Pretty sure people can find a crafty way to DIY clean these without having to buy a shoe cleaner, I just have not taken the time to see for myself.

Muy grandes , corre una talla más de mi normal

Reviewer Lauralie Francis

Much larger than standard US size. Otherwise they look the same as purchased from Adidas website.

Reviewer GSTheriault

Love the slide in heel

Reviewer Tamira Imondi

Seem a little short. They are well built.

My daughter loves them. Vans are her favorite school shoes. I love that they last all year long.

I bought some water shoes through Lands' End years ago, and their inside, next-to-the-skin portion was not nearly as smooth and comfortable as these shoes, but the construction and basic principle is the same.

These water shoes have a firm, rubber sole to protect the feet from rough ground, and they have a good grip on slippery rocks to prevent falls. These are closed-toe shoes, which means they also protect the top part of your feet and your toes.

They look, from a distance, as if they are just regular athletic shoes. However, unlike most athletic shoes, they do not use tie laces. Instead, they have an adjustible "bungee tie" system, which means your shoes will not come untied, and you can slip these shoes on and off and still have the shoe feel securely fastened.

These shoes have holes for draining water and a mesh construction on the upper part which both releases water and dries quickly when you return to land. Note that these shoes are "water ready" but not waterproof. They will definitely get wet.

As to size, if you will for some reason be wearing socks, then you might want to go up a half size from your normal size. These shoes are meant to be worn without socks.

These shoes would be perfect for wading in the ocean or a river or stream. They would be great for rafting, inner-tubing, or boating in general.

The color is a masculine charcoal with yellow trim, and they are technically made for men. However, if a woman knows her comparable size in men's shoes, I don't see why a woman could not wear these as well.

The price is rather steep for what these are, and that might give some people pause. I'd recommend shopping around and comparing prices before you decide on these.

I bought these for a gift and they are exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately not him. While he liked them a lot they are quite narrow and he needs a wide fit. These would be perfect for spring and summer and I will repurchase in a wide width.
