"Our 05/65 Westwood Tennis Shoe honors the legendary Arthur Ashe and is inspired by the classic tennis stylings of the mid-sixties.

Superior comfort footbed with uppers lined in soft cotton canvas. Heel counter is lined in sueded leather to secure fit. Our traditional calendar outsole is made with genuine gum rubber for a softer, more elastic result. Born in 1964, SeaVees is the original casual sneaker.

BUYER BEWARE
I felt like I had to write this review to make the quality difference aware to other customers.I bought two sizes of this shoe so that I could try both on and decide which ones I wanted to keep. When I opened the boxes I had to check to be sure I did in fact order the same shoe in two different sizes because there were some major differences.-One sole was gum colored, one was blue-One sole had larger grooves than the other-The two colors of canvas were very different: One was basically white, the other more of a tan cream-The rubber surrounding the soles had two different cuts at the end of them-The labels under the tongue were completely different: One had a stamped on label, the other had an actual printed on label like it most shoesI'm not sure if I forgot anything because I just threw these back in the box to return them tomorrow. As a manufacturing engineer, to me this is either a sign of HORRIBLE quality control, two different revs. of the same shoes, or one or both of them are cheap rip offs. I've never bought SeaVees before so I don't have any experience in the type of quality to expect. Just beware.

Not what is pictured
I have several pairs of this same sneaker- except this one is different than what is pictured. The picture shows a sneaker with seven eyelet holes for shoelaces-- but the one I received had only six-- which makes the vamp look shorter and odd. Not sure why this sneaker has 6 holes when 7 is pictured-- and all other Westwoods have 7. It appears to be the Monteray style but with a SUEDE toe and back stripe-- odd combo-- and I returned this shoe because of that.

Looks great, fits to size, poorly constructed.
Love SeaVees. The shoes are great casual shoes. They look great, and are comfy. I usually buy the Hermosa. Its my favorite shoe of all-time and I have bought 4 pairs in the last 2 years. This time I wanted something extra so I also picked up the Westwood. Its a great looking shoe. Fits true to size and is a great causal shoe for walking around or just general day-to-day wear.It is not durable unfortunately. The rubber on the front started to peel away after 2 months and at month 3 the bottom of the shoe started to peel away from the heel.Great looking shoe, fits to size but thats about it. They fell apart after 3 months of light to medium use.

Second pair - first was in a suede finish I beat down to the ground I liked wearing them so much. The brand is a cool and casual and fair priced and done right - I walked 10-15 miles plus here in London today (with some pub stops )...and they look good and feel like old pals .

Some things are hit and miss, these are more the miss variety.
Small in the toe, and hard on the feet after prolonged wear. I hate to say it but I have already donated these, hope they fit the next guy better. One of the downsides to buying shoes online (Didn't feel right returning them after some wear).

Not quite perfect.
I like the look of these sneakers but there is an area inside that rubs my toes the wrong way, literally. I am hoping that once I break them in they will be more comfortable.If you have issues with arch support the liner is easily removed and replaced with something more suitable. I generally take out all liners from shoes and replace with what suits my feet. It is an added expense but my feet are important enough to splurge on them.

They will not last past 3 months.
On July 27th just a little over a month I noticed a lot of wear and tear that think is unacceptable! The left back of the shoe is wearing away at high rate. The seams of rubber on the sole of shoe are constructed poorly.. basically a bad design. If you want the shoe to last more than 2 months I'd recommend not buying them.

run a bit on the small side
they are a bit small, but still wearable. The only thing I don't like about these shoes is that they have almost no arch support at all - they are almost completely flat. If that's an issue for you, you might need arch supports.

Cero recomendable.
No me duraron ni un solo, mala calidad en materiales y no vale la pena, medio cómodos y juegos a lo ancho. No los recomiendo.
