Bapesta 'Black' 2022

Reviewer I Am The Seeker

Decent shoe, fits well, easy to get on and off and cute if you like the Converse look. Not great for extended walking. If you’ve got an all-day trip planned to the amusement park or some extended in-store Christmas shopping to do then I recommend something with more support.

I purchased these for my husband, he loves them, feels better than any shoe he has ever had

Reviewer Joan E Kaufman

Good price, good product, especially the flexible laces are welcome

Reviewer L C Coleman Jr

The very best value in a durable, comfortable boat shoe. I wear them every day, all the time during cooler months, some of the time (when not wearing my wonderful Teva Katavi flips). This is my second pair, the first still not worn out after 9 years, but starting to look a bit shabby after a lot of wearings. Easy to slip on and off without having to sit or bend over, even with socks, but nice to wear without socks also in cooler weather. Pretty amazing shoes, great fit.

Reviewer V Tinker

Great shoes. Thank you Reddit male fashion advice.

Reviewer Janel Fortier

Best running shoes I've ever owned. Exceptional cushioning.

Reviewer elaine herron

The shoe fit pretty good except that the back was a bit too short and it wasnt as deep as hoped for the insert. Have a hard time finding shoes for size 17 long toe foot. Usually cant find a wide enough toe bow so have been trying the wide width. They were so close to being what was wanted, but did return the shoes. Burgendy/hemp is not as bad as red, but I'll wear most colors if I can just find the right fit.

I got it for my husband who wears size 12 but very picky about getting shoes without trying them on. He worn these already for hiking and gave it 5 stars. He said that they are very comfortable and did not give him any trouble.

I normally wouldn't consider a synthetic leather shoe, because I'd never seen any that weren't awful in nearly every way possible. The only reason I considered these is because I needed shoes that fit very particular criteria and one of them was that they're synthetic. So I ordered a pair to evaluate them and the verdict is very positive.

It's not real leather, but it's close. It actually reminds me of cheap leather shoes, but without all the creasing (like comfortable Reeboks, which used loose leather for comfort). The rubber sole seems comfortable and the synthetic lining looks like it'll be easy to keep clean. It has average arch support and the insole is stuck in place, but it does offer good cushioning.

I ordered my normal sneaker size and it fits great, so I'd say the sizing is perfect (I wear a a half size larger in New Balance and sometimes with Nike). The laces are a little long, but just a little and they're nice laces.

Overall, they're nice shoes. No, they're not real leather and I didn't judge them as if they were. But there are some advantages with synthetic leather shoes and these will work great for those who understand they're not leather.

Was hard to wear due to my toes crunching up at the end of the shoe.
I wear a size 8 and ordered a size 8, had to return them and get another size.
