Great find for kid with Big Feet
When your 12 year old has size 18 feet shoes are hard to find. Got these for less than usual retail price. Shoes are heavy and have a lot of padding like most skate shoes but we were very pleased to find skate shoes in his size. His feet are still growing and we wouldn't be surprised to see our son with a size 25 shoe size before he's done but he's only 5 foot 5 and still growing and maybe DC will make these in a size 25 eventually. Anyway great deal here. Thanks again Amazon.

great shoes
This is only for Converse virgins. These are Chuck Taylor ConverseLow Top Black M9166. AMAZING stylish classicunisex shoes that goes well with pretty much any outfit and can be used for just about any "normal" activity..schoolmoderate gym time daily wear etc.
Three things to watch for:
1. Keep ur shoes clean of mud dirt coffee stains dog poop etc etc. The whites are really white and when the stains contrast against the black it shows the whole world what a dirty bum you really are. ( Unless you go for that scruffy bum look then its PERFECT for you.)
2. The sizing run larger than normal. Meaning I normally wear size 9 and I fit in a size 8. I think the rule of thumb is to go a size smaller with these.
3. Make sure your socks fit u. MAke sure the shoes fit you but not too tight. Canvas shoes are UNFORGIVING on ur feet when wearing with really thin socks or loose socks. Think massive blisters.
Other than that. Enjoy. These shoes are great especially for their price. I also recommend the leather version and the Jack Purcells. Great alternatives or just get them all lol.

Doing Work Son
I have always been a DC fan after watching Rob & Big and Fantasy Factory. These shoes are great so comfy and last forever as well. My only complaint is sometimes if you step in a puddle you get a splash to the bottom of your foot as water goes through the airflow system. However this is really nice in the summer as it keeps your feet reasonably cool.

This item is not always SUEDE!
Although this was a nice shoe and along the lines of what I was looking for I ordered this in the Espresso/Brown combination and it was hemp not suede. Take a close look at the color swatch on-line. If it looks like canvas it is.

Sweet!
These shoes are great. I wear them everyday.
They have a soft flip flop type sole with a harder rubber sole for traction which is comfortable but slippery sometimes in wet conditions.
The canvas top holds my feet well. It has frayed quite fast though a little moreso than I would have liked.
I bike to school in them they look great with khakis or jeans feel great with bare feet or socks dry quickly and don't get stinky. I am happy with the purchase.
