LOVE

I ordered these sneakers in black and I love them!!! The leather is super soft and very high quality. Not only are these shoes super comfortable, they also have great arch support...and they are fashionable. But then again, I already knew this about Ash sneakers :) There is also a convenient zipper on the sides so you don't have to touch the buckles. Ash sneakers are a bit pricey, but it's totally worth it. I used to buy a bunch of sneakers (like New Balance, Skechers, K-Swiss) for walking long distances or to and from work, but now I prefer to splurge on a couple of Ash sneakers instead. I usually wear a womens size 6 and I got these shoes in a 37 European size because I like an extra bit of wiggle room in the front. If you are a us womens size 6 or 7, the 37's will for sure fit well.

So cool...fell apart!

This shoe fell apart so quickly. I got about 6 wears out of them before the sides split away from the rubber where I bend my foot. Was really bummed...I wear shoes very gently and couldn't believe they were developing gaps on either side! Otherwise, they are SOOOO cool. I loved the way they fit, and how they looked. I included a pic of the worst one where the leather ripped away from the rubber and some of the leather stuck to the rubber side.

Cute, but not so comfortable

I love that these shoes are leather and will last a long time. The buckles are unique, but I doubt their usefulness. I have narrow feet, and while the heel is wide for me, the toe box is narrow. They fit, but those with wide feet should take note. I do not find these shoes comfortable, but an insert could improve that. I do get lots of compliments on them. Overall these are stylish, with a minimal comfort level.

Love this shoe!

I wanted a pair of black hi-tops that had both style and comfort. These are it! The leather is butter-soft, and the straps with buckles give it a more stylish look than laces -- somewhere between the look of a boot and that of a tennis shoe. I have a slightly wide foot but the leather is soft enough to be really comfortable. I wear an 8-1/2 medium and anywhere from a 38 to 39 in Euro sizes. In these, I opted for the 39 so that I could wear socks, and they fit perfectly. I normally wouldn't pay this much for "tennis shoes", but rationalized these because of the quality and versatility. I could not be more pleased with these shoes!

2 Cool 2 Be Worn Out

I saw these 2 years ago for the first time and thought they were so moto I had to have 'em. I wear them with jeans, leggings, even little dresses, and I get compliments galore with "where did you get those?" even from strangers. They haven't worn out, but they're suede and I wanted leather ones too, so I ordered these as well as a pair in brown. I wear them year-round and everywhere except really dressed up. Now I see them on celebs too ... I wear a 7N shoe, but the 37 fits me perfectly with a Scholls insole and athletic socks that snug the heel.

buy size down

I love these shoes, they are so comfortable and go with everything. I usually wear an 8 1/2-9, I bought the 9 thinking they would be fine, had to return the 9 and get the 8, they run really big. Super darling shoes.
