I have 6 pairs of Dunham shoes; these are my favorite. They are my daily walking shoes, but can easily fill in for going out to dinner or just hanging out. They look good and feel great. I do like the look a lot, with the gray suede and vents; I like this look much better than sneakers with funky neon designs and giant brand logos. These shoes have little arch support, which I prefer with my flat feet, but that might be a negative for some people.
PROs
Attractive and stylish for a sneaker - nice upscale look that can cover a wide range of activities from office casual to exercise.
Very comfortable, I love the fit. They are my best fitting shoes.
Seem to be made of quality materials
Decent amount of sturdiness for usage as a walking shoe or standing for lengths of time.
Sizing is pretty much true-to-size, you can purchase in your size with confidence. Perhaps they are slightly (1/4 size) short in length. Order a 1/2 size larger if you want some extra room or a margin of safety.
CONs
As mentioned, they are pretty flat. If you have a high arch you will probably not like these.
Outer sole is acceptable but a bit on the thin side. They don't feel plush and thick underfoot.
Price is all over the map, you will see them from $52 to $130. You're certainly overpaying if you spend more than $100, they are not really a $100+ shoe, more like a $60-$80 shoe imho

As of this review I don't know how much these shoes cost so I have to rate based on construction and comfort alone. I like to incorporate cost when I can but can't this time. These shoes are extremely light weight and seem to be very well constructed. I don't know how they will hold up when worn while running, but for basic comfort they feel good. They have a bit of a lower ridge in the inside where the toes go and I'm not sure if I like that yet or not. It does give my toes something to sort of grip. The laces allow me to tighten them up since I have a narrow foot. I like the colors and they have a nice, sleek look about them. They don't feel good when worn without socks because of some scratchiness so if you like go sockless you might not like these shoes. But when worn with socks they are very comfortable. These seem to be true to size.

Authentic, and true to size in both width and length. Zero arch support for those over forty. These Vans slay me; the checkerboard style reminds me of high school, 5,000 years ago, and dancing with the Italian Formula One team in Long Beach 4,000 years ago. That's right, I'm having a mid-life crisis and Vans helps assuage my desires.

I ordered these shoes for my 14yo son and they are working out great! He has been wearing them to school for over a month and he likes them a lot. They are holding up well and still look newish. Plus he says they are comfortable. I believe him too because he is incredibly picky, lol. I requested this pair in his current shoe size and I would say these shoes are true to size (tts).
I like these shoes because they match nearly all of his outfits. I also the dark color hides a lot of dirt. The outer material is nice quality and has been easy enough for me to spot clean. I can't think of one bad thing to write about these shoes and it appears they will last a while. I would definitely consider them a good deal.
Reviewer Scott Collins
Real nice sneakers, all leather except for the tongue. Comfy and stylish. I got these in black as well. I will definitely get another pair in a different color. And down the line another one in the same color.
Reviewer Haily Holy
You may lose an inch in height wearing these as they have less of a sole than others have, making them feel almost like ballet slippers must feel, but it feels good once you get used to it. There is little cushioning in the sole so they are mainly for casual wear and probably not good for running etc.
Reviewer Marko Rillo
Very comfortable with a style statement. I use these to workout in and play pickleball.
Reviewer Oncology NP Man
These take a little bit of time to break in, they start off pretty tight compared to other pairs of Romas I've owned. That said, for the price, these are pretty sweet.
