All our sneakers are listed in standard US sizing. To convert from men’s to women’s sizes, add 1.5 sizes to the men’s size (for example, a men’s 7 is equivalent to a women’s 8.5).
Customers often prefer sizing up for a more comfortable fit in our Center and All-American franchises. Try a ½ size above your normal sneaker size.

I love these shoes!!! I might just buy another pair!
The shoes are super comfortable and they look awesome, I’d get comments on them pretty often from my other coworkers and I work a pretty physically demanding job.
I just wish they could last longer than the 5 months I owned them. Sucks they fell apart so fast, otherwise I’d buy another pair in a heartbeat.
Been wanting a new pair of flat sole shoes for daily use. Wanted something a bit more rugged than Converse and these are definitely performing better than I hoped. Spent the past month breaking them in and they've been great and look awesome. Would like to see how long these last with consistent use and hope to buy another pair in the future.
Love the canvas design and feel, my feet run on the wide side and they fit just fine in them. They've performed well for both day to day activity as well as in the gym. Definitely plan on getting the low tops next.
I have a tough time sizing shoes. One US 12.7 the other 12.1. No 12.5 offered. (Hopefully in the future) So I ordered 13's per the guide. Too big. Sent them back asap and happily they did the same replacing with 12's. Fit great. Look good. Hope this helps buyers
I think they are a great show and I’m only giving a lower star because I wish I had known they were coming out with an all black pair because I would have waited to order them.
this is the second response on my part...as I stated in first review request there is a seam inside left sneaker that is not fitted properly and rubs foot raw after a few minutes of walking ..it appears a seam is not sewn completely and causes the the problem...thank you
Great looking shoe and comfy as well. What more could you ask for. Ives sour of stock in my size for quite a long time but worth the wait. I ride motorcycles cross country and get quite a lot of compliments in traffic wearing them.
They were out of my size in the base camp model for so long, but I finally got the email that they were available and snatched them up as fast as I could. And I am so glad I did! They’re everything I hope they would be, and I absolutely adore these shoes!
At first, I thought they may be a little bit tight for a 9 1/2 men’s which is my shoe size but once I figured out the shoe strings and how to adjust them to conform to my foot, they fit like a glove just had to break them in for a couple of hours and after that they felt very comfortable. I am very pleased with my shoes! Thanks
Don’t like the positioning of the loops on the tongue. They interfere with tying the shoes from the top eyelets. Also, the laces are too long to tie traditionally and too short to loop around the top of the shoe and then tie on front. Otherwise, however, my favorite of the 4 types of shoes I have bought. Love the total blackout look , and the canvas is just a bit ‘washed out’ which is a great differentiation. Really attractive and distinctive look!
Super comfortable, a tad big, if you like a more snug fit it might be worth considering to go down a half size. The only thing I wasn't crazy about is that in the photos these are black, in person they are more of a washed out black/charcoal. Would still recommend these, the style and quality is killer.
