My Go-To Sneakers
I couldn't possibly recommend these enough! It has been almost a year since I purchased these sneakers and they are still my go-to's. They are so comfortable and light-weight. I have always had difficulty finding shoes that fit well, are comfortable for extended period of time, and are cute; but these are absolutely perfect. I wear them all the time and am about to purchase again in a different color!
My new favorite casual shoe
Very comfortable and cute shoe. Breathes well so it does not get too hot. Perfect for moms who want to be comfortable chasing after children but look good too. So glad I got these! True to size
perfect sneaker
I bought these for walking around NYC but also so my outft would look polished. I absolutely love these, they are like walking on clouds. They pair so well with many different outfits! I adore them and already want pairs in different colors!
Versatile & Comfy
I love my new sneakers. With white sneakers being so popular, it’s fun to bring back this classic look. I wear them with dresses or shorts, so versatile and fit so comfortably!
90's look
I bought these because I remember my mom wearing these to Girl Scout meetings in the 90's. Since we are all under quarantine I have not taken them out for a spin yet but hope to soon!
My all time, go-to shoe
These classic sneakers work perfectly with everything from jeans to leggings to tennis skirts. The canvas material offers a classic, preppy look that's both practical and cute.
So comfy
Tretorns were my grandmothers favorite shoes and I just got my first pair. They are so comfortable - cushioned insole makes them so comfortable to wear all day. Tempted to buy the shearling pair too!
Feel like slippers
These sneakers are extremely comfortable for all day wear - they feel like walking in slippers. I live in a city and walk everywhere so these have been a great addition to my wardrobe.
Will be wearing these all spring/summer!
Ignored the advice to order a 1/2 size up, and I’m glad I did. Ordered my typical shoe size and they fit perfectly! Maybe a little overpriced for a canvas shoe, but I love the navy detailing and I will be getting a lot of wear out of these!
Takes me Back!
I’ve always loved Tretorns, and it’s so fun they are back in style. I get so many compliments on these. The navy pies well with jeans. Also, many thanks to Ellen for helping me track my order. I really appreciate y’all!
The ultimate sneaker
The most comfortable sneaker to travel in! I love that it still looks put together and dresses up an outfit more than regular sneakers. So comfy! Runs a little smaller so I sized up a half size.
Perfect Combo of Comfort and Style
The Nylite's are a great casual fit for anything from a sundress to jeans. I would recommend purchasing the extra shoelaces. They only come with the white or blue options.
Very Comfortable!
I love these sneakers. They're cute and very comfortable. I ended up having to buy a smaller size than what was recommended (went with my normal size), but overall I'm happy with the quality!
Long time favorite!
I continue to order this timeless style - they are the perfect white sneaker. I wear them almost every day because they are so comfortable. I like a crisp white, so once I’ve really outworn them I know it’s time for a new pair.
So sad that I found these to run large
I had to return mine unfortunately. I found them to run large. I have big feet and usually wear a size 10. I ordered a 10. The 10 was big and clunky and long in length. I returned and can’t decide if I even want to try a half size or whole size smaller. They are so cute and I lived in these 30+ years ago!
Cute and Comfy
I had been searching for a new white sneaker to wear this fall, and I am so glad I found these! Not only are they on-trend, but they are SO comfy! They are a must-have closet staple, and I highly recommend them!
A wardrobe must!
I always get compliments on these when I wear them! Searched high and low for a classic white tennies that didn’t make my foot look huge or like nurse shoes! Only down side is they rubbed my heel a bit, but that’s an easy fix !
Classics
These are the perfect classic, white sneaker for spring/summer. They are super comfy and require no break-in at all - wore them the day I got them for a whole day and they were still super comfortable. Fit TTS but if you have more narrow feet may make sense to go half size down.
CLASSIC & COMFY!
Classic white sneaker! Bought these for my upcoming Europe trip and could not be happier! I listened to the other reviews and bought a half size up, which were a little too roomy. Ended up getting my usual size and those fit perfect and returned the other size. Feels like walking on clouds!
“Oldie but a goodie”
I used to wear tretorns in high school. Always loved them they were so comfortable. I even had a leather pair in college (whole apartment went and got the same sneaker!). I was so excited to see them on your website and true to form they did not disappoint! Thank you
So cute AND comfy!
Love these sneakers! They will be perfect for all spring and summer activities. Not to mention they're super comfortable. I even wore them all day long when visiting museums - lots of standing and walking - and still no issues. I'm a size 7 and the 7 fit perfectly so no need to size up or down.
THE COMFIEST SHOES
These are honestly the most comfy sneakers I have ever owned. They were true to size (I'm always a 7 and got a 7) and they are sooooo cute. I love them!! I keep telling my friends and family to get a pair!
Timeless Sneaker
Favorite sneakers I own! They're so classic, and honestly go with everything. Extra bonus - they're comfortable. I wear them everyday to walk to work. I found they run true to size
Great cute, casual shoes
I love these sneakers! They go with everything from jeans to a cute skirt. A great shoe to wear when you want to dress cute while exploring a city and walking a lot. For sizing, I ordered a half size up.
LOVE THESE SNEAKS!!
I love how these sneakers look great with everything...jeans, shorts, even leather pants! My shoe size varies between 6 1/2 - 7....Bought both sizes..can wear both but like the fit of the 6 1/2 best. Great value too!!
Completely satisfied
This purchase fulfilled every standard that I had regarding these shoes. They're durable, classic, and can be worn with a multide of different styles. They fit true to size and are totally comfortable. Additionally, Tuckernuck provided expedient shipping and exemplary customer service.
