| A dress sneaker - This is definitely a shoe to be seen wearing. I've received numerous compliments whenever I go out. It's perfect for cookouts, seeing local indie-rock, and hanging out with friends. However, these sneaks serve almost no athletic or even moderately active purpose. If you plan to spend a day on your feet, such as taking a long walk or going to the amusement park, I would put on something that provided better arch support. Also, I should point out that you will feel every little pebble and change in walking surface with these shoes. So to sum it up, if you need a general utility sneaker, look elsewhere. If you already have a good knock-around sneaker and are looking for something that will get you noticed in a casual situation, this is definitely a good addition to your wardrobe. |

| Excellent, stylish sneaker. I had been looking for a sneaker like this for a long time. Very low profile, classic looks, and quality construction. I use these shoes as all purpose messing around sneakers and they spend a lot of time with me on the bicycle. Be warned though, they offer very little in the way of support and aren't a shoe I would recommend for those interested in all day on your feet comfort or sports that emphasize a lot of running as that cool low profile look comes at the cost of padding and arch support. If you just want a stylish, classic looking sneaker for day to day activities, I think these are wonderful. Will most likely buy another pair when these bite the dust. |

| My new Favorite shoe! I had never heard of Gola before I purchased a pair of them a year or so ago. Fell in love with their light weight and overall look! I recently purchased three (3) pair of the Chase in Black, Brown and Blue. I ordered all the shoes in size 10 and standard width. However, all three (3) pair fit differently. The Black are a perfect fit, the brown are a little longer than the black and the blue is, by far, the smallest of the 3 (even a little tight width-wise). Not horribly, uncomfortably so, but I thought it odd that the same shoe in different colors had different fits. |

| I love this shoe! So much, in fact, I've just bought two additional pairs to give me more color options. I have to make a conscious effort to not wear them everyday. It's extremely lightweight and very comfortable, and it looks great - I've worn them with jeans and slacks and gotten compliments every time. I wear size 11, and this 11 fits perfectly. So be wary of those who say they are a size smaller then marked... I disagree. They are suede, so you have to be careful not to mess them up. I've had them 5 months and they are holding up great. Still look brand new! |

| Favorite shoes - These shoes made me a die-hard Gola fan. Have had my Chases for 2 years now. Felt so narrow at first, I almost sent them back, but I'm glad I didn't. The suede is so flexible. With a little time, they mold to your foot and fit like soft gloves. The suede gets dirty and looks weathered quickly, but this just gives them extreme slacker-cool character. No two pair of GCs will ever look the same. As much as I've worn mine, I'm amazed at how they've held up. I've no doubt there's years more wear left in mine. They're practically indestructible. |

| These shoes are dope. I love the Chase line. Great for casual and styling. Definitely don’t recommend if you’re going to be on your feet for a long time... no arch support, but that’s how all of this style are (adidas, Asics, etc.) Fit true to size - on the nose, but I am only endorsing this style (Chase) of Gola for now. I got a different pair and the stitching sucks and the material isn’t as nice. Highly recommend. I’m glad that I haven’t seen anyone else with ‘em. |

| First Impression - This shoe is very stylish and would be a great addition to any person's wardrobe. The sole is a little thin but the lightweight feel of the shoe makes up for this. There is moderate arch support and the shoe felt true to size. I have very narrow feet and I found the fit to be very good. Zappos did a great job of delivering on time and I highly recommend their services to everyone. |

| Really nice sneakers: stylish, lightweight, very comfortable. I like how light they are, and they hug your feet almost like slippers. While they're best for narrow feet, they fit my wide feet just fine. The low-profile, simple style is also excellent. My only complaint are the garish colors. But I got the beige/brown which is okay. As others say, not much support, but for just hanging out and light walking they're great. |

| Excellent - I just got these today (after ordering them two days ago) and I am very pleased. I am a woman with a size thirteen shoe, so I ordered these in a mens 12 and they fit great. I also have a VERY narrow foot, and my feet don't slide from side to side. Arch support is alright, not above average. But all in all, a very good buy. |

| Size 12: A Problem - If you have large feet(like me) and you don't think that the size 12 will fit you, buy them anyways. All you have to do is take out the padding inside the shoe, and it will add a size to the shoe. Then you can just go and buy a nicer, thinner pair of pads for your shoes. It worked out great for me. |
