I bought this for my 92 year old grandmother. It is soft and I think she likes it. The small will fit her but it seems to be larger than other smalls I have seen (closer to a medium). I think that all Columbia products run a little bit large. The black was not a deep black (more of a VERY dark grey), but I didn't expect it to be. Overall, I am happy I bought this for her.

Bought them for my son. They fit well. He had a pair of these before, they lasted and stayed together twice as long as other brands that he's had. Very satisfied.

I purchased these shoes 3 months ago, and the sole is already starting to separate from the bottom of the shoe on one of them. This is really sad, because they got such great reviews and are perfect in just about every other way. I do not wear these shoes on a regular bases mostly on my days off from work, or quick errands in morning, They maybe have a month and 1/2 of collective wear time MAYBE. If I had wanted shoes that would fall apart I would have gone to Walmart and saved 40$.

I normally wear medium comfortably. Sleeves on this jacket are too long and the body is too tight (very fitted).

As some of the other reviews suggested, I ordered this jacket a size larger because I believed it might run too small. I actually had to return the medium I got and reorder it in small. This jacket absolutely fits true to size so don't make the mistake I did. (For reference I am (6'0")(183cm), (160lbs)(73kg) and the small fits perfectly.)

Fit: Pretty true to size. The body is roomy without being too big, the sleeves fit slim but not tight, and the shoulders are wide enough to accommodate a muscular/fit build. It's also worth noting that both the inner and outer pockets are extremely spacious.

Material: Higher quality than I expected. I've had faux leather jackets before but this one is my new favorite. The outer faux leather seems durable enough and the jacket is lined with a fuzzy material which makes this jacket warm enough for cold weather but still breathable. Also the zippers seem sturdy which is a major plus.

Style: Very sharp. I personally really like this jacket. So far it has been my daily wear at university, but I assume the style is not for everyone. I'd say just judge for yourself based on the review images. It looks pretty much exactly like the listing depicts.

Value: A+ This jacket is definitely a steal. I was very impressed by the shipping speed as well.

I am not sure what's going on there at New Balance headquarters, but I'm looking at this shoe and comparing it to an older pair that I was going to replace with these. It seems as if someone went through the shoe, and cheapened every single component of it. The fabric on the inside near the heel isn't even sewn in to the shoe, although it has a thread stitching. Its actually glued in (and falling off), and the thread is just there to make it look like they are sewn in. Where the laces are, the fabric isn't even connected, so a few pulls on these laces and that will be coming apart. Even the loop at the back that you use to pull them over your heel has been made much thinner and less robust compared to my previous NB shoes. These are made in Indonesia, and given the quality of them, must have cost a few dollars to produce and yet are not priced accordingly. I've been buying NB shoes for years, but something has changed, and they no longer seem to care about their product. They don't even fit and are way too small even though they are the same size as the previous ones. Hey NB! You've lost another long time customer!
