Good-looking traditional tennis shoe (aka "sneaker" for you non-Southerners), styled up with a thicker sole: 1.5" at the heel, tapering to 1" at the toe. Fit with CH shoes can be iffy for women. They trend towards having a too-wide heel and a too-long length in relation to other branded shoes of the same size. I often order a half-size down. The Grand-pro Topspin Sneaker is an aberration: it works for my normal size length, and although still a tad wide in the heel, it's not a deal-breaker. I would have much preferred a more rounded toe for looks and comfort, but this toe is okay. There's enough room. The lack of a seam across the toe cap is a big bonus, as it prevents the rubbing that is often a plague of other tennis shoes. Light weight, no heel rubbing, ... MoreGood-looking traditional tennis shoe (aka "sneaker" for you non-Southerners), styled up with a thicker sole: 1.5" at the heel, tapering to 1" at the toe.

All-day wear right out of the box with no issues. The leather construct may make your foot sweat a bit, but then you already knew that, right? All in all, a decent shoe, and a bargain on sale.

I saw someone wearing these and immediately wanted to try a pair. I think the style is great. But similar another review, looking down when on they kind of spread mid foot and get narrow. So looks off looking down but think they look good over all and esp from side. I went with my usual size even tho they say heel will slip, goin half size smaller toe box too narrow. I like just little height in this type of sneaker not over done I’ll update review if I notice anything different once I wear them out and about.

I just received these in the mail; always a little nervous to order shoes online...but my true size is a 7.5 narrow; that is the size I ordered and "Like a GL OVE" is my comment; amazing shoes; very comfortable. I tied them up a little tighter but I am not sure that was necessary. I am so very relieved since these shoes are absolutely beautiful. This was what the Italian girls were wearing with everything this year.
