"Kung Fu Shoes"

These are superb for anyone studying martial arts or just trying to imitate Bruce Lee (^_^)

I'd recommend them if you plan to take care of them as they are not invincible. However, they are fairly cheap so I guess you can destroy them.

the material is made out of canvas which is nice and comfy. The soles can be slippery when you first get them so break them in before trying to do anything on a slick surface.

Enjoy! 5 stars

"Are You Talking to Me?"

These shoes are nice and comfortable.I use them for Tai Chi Chuan Chen style. They will in fact, stretch out untill you wash them again; they will fit like new. They are slippery as well. On another front, there are those who could buy these and get caught up into thinking they're Jet Li or Chan, and say, "Are you talking to me?" LOL. 3 stars

"The greatest!"

I've been wearing these little shoes for 20 years, then the store where I bought them closed. I was so happy to fine them available here. They are cheap, comfortable and hip. What more do you want for less than the price of a movie ticket? And the people who sell them here? Terrific service! I bought one pair and was so happy with both the product and the service that I bought three more pair to tuck away in the closet. Namaste! 5 stars

"Poor fit"

This shoe generally fits well but the heel upper (cloth) comes straight up from the sole and doesn't grab my heel. For this reason my feet constantly come out of the shoe. I've had the same size shoes like this one and didn't have this problem. 3 stars

"Watch out on sizing"

These shoe sizes don't really correspond to normal sizes. I wear an 8 1/2 or 9 and finally have ordered a 7 after getting shoes too big/small a couple of times. After ordering there's no online record of what size you've ordered, so keep your receipt if you order the wrong size. Returns incur fees plus shipping, which ends up so close to the original cost as to not bother.
On the other hand, the shoes are a good product. 4 stars
