Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-05-03 Comfortable old-school sneakers Very comfortable shoe with soft leather uppers. Awesome old-school styling that looks good with jeans or khakis or whatever. The only issue I had is that they seem to run about 1/2 to one full size too small, and they're cut narrower than the typical running/hiking shoes I'm used to. After awhile, these start to feel sorta tight on my feet, and my feet are not wide either. IMO, just order at least 1/2 to one full size bigger than your foot size and they should be ok. Rating:  Date: 2008-04-05 nice shoes for walking There are different version of SS II for adidas. I think it already tells you what a classical pair of shoes they are. I really doubt you could find such a price else where other than amazon. Really nice shoes for causal use. Generally, if you are looking for a pair of sneaker for basketball, this is not the one, since it could not give you enough protect for your ankles. But if you are looking for a pair of shoes for walking, you definitely should consider this pair. Rating:  Date: 2008-04-05 Great item Great item. I got them for my boyfriend for his birthday, he loves them. Rating:  Date: 2008-04-01 Rev. Run speaks the truth For the money, you can't go wrong. I looked for the same shoe online and in a few stores and couldn't find anything for this price. The shoe fits great, I love the style, and would do it again in a heartbeat - in fact I probably will.
