Better quality than the others!
Size: 10.5, Color: Dark Black, Size: 10.5, Color: Dark Black
I’ve had a pair of these in grey for over a year and was looking for black shoes to replace my worn out old ones, so I decided to give these a try. Just like the grey, these did not disappoint. They have a different/look design than the standard breeze/cole haan knockoffs you see everywhere. They look and feel a lot better. The insoles have more support and the outer sole is very cushioned, making them comfortable all day. With the other knockoffs, I usually buy an additional insole for support since they come with a laughable sponge laid in the shoe, which is an added expense. This alone makes the SVNKE a great option. If you like the different look of these, then definitely get them, you will appreciate the higher quality!

Fantastic purchase
Size: 12.5, Color: Black
Fantastic purchase. I had a trip to Spain planned and wanted shoes that would work both for lots of walking and also more dressy events so I bought these. After a nine day trip to Spain, walking over 20,000 steps a day through cobble stone streets I can report these shoes held up, were comfortable, gave no blisters, and all with virtually no break in time for the shoes. I wear a size 12 but bought a half size larger and it was a perfect fit. Definitely recommend these.

If you’re going for cushion and looks, these do it.
Size: 9.5, Color: Grey
These are massively cushiony. They fit as sized, slip on well, and look very good. It seems like they should hold up well.

Nice and affordable, but poor arch support and mushy insoles.
Size: 11 Wide, Color: Black
These shoes look nice and feel comfortable at first, but the soft memory foam type bottoms on these don't provide enough support. I am a big guy and find that over the course of the day the insoles compress and my feet end up at an angle. After a long day on my feet, my dogs are barking and my leg muscles are tight I think from walking on an angle. I added my GoodFeet arch support and they help a little with arch support, but the insole is so soft that it absorbs the bulge quite a bit. If you're skinny and need a decent looking pair of shoes on the cheap, they might be ok for you. I would not recommend long walks or strenuous activity in them. I will say they are lightweight, breathable and a decent value if you don't have flat feet and a beer belly (I don't even drink beer, how'd that happen, WTH?!)

Love the shoes.
I love these shows. Super cushioned and comfortable. Makes casual but professional dress so easy. Buying different color because I like them so much. They are true to size. Maybe a tad short in toe box.
