Bapesta France M1 'France'

Reviewer Edward Alton

big and floppy

Reviewer KinCO

Fits better than any shoe i've had before, very comfortable and easy to slip on and off, but sturdy enough if you do a lot of walking.

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.

Great buy for a quality brand.

My new K-Swiss tennis shoes are awesome absolutely no complaints

Reviewer J Wolfsberger

These shows are great to add a titch more style to an outfit than more typical sneakers, but they're still super comfortable. My feet don't typically require tons of cushion or arch support, so i caution those with bad feet or those who run a lot to maybe avoid these. I used to be a 50-60miles per week runner, and personally, i had to avoid these type of flattish-arched shoes or my feet would get sore / injured quickly. However, for the couple miles per day I walk in the city these days (in these shoes) and the 10 miles i run per week (not in these shoes), they work perfectly. Highly recommend

My husband has always used sketchers for coaching basketball and loves the support. These are just as good as the ones he has paid much more for.

I was looking for something like the Keds I had as a child. I gave these a try because they seemed similar at a very good price. I wasnt expecting much. But they are really nice. Well made and exact fit.

I have been wearing Vans for almost 40 years; I probably have a minimum of 30 pairs. My normal size is 6 1/2 in women’s and that’s the size I ordered. The fit is true to size & these are authentic Vans. The image of a Charlie Brown Christmas on the shoe is exactly as shown online; perfect.

Like socks with soles. Super comfy!
