Women's Tretorn Nylite Canvas

Product Description (Women's Tretorn Nylite Canvas)

Nylites, born in 1967, were soon regarded as the first luxury sports shoe. These canvas tennis shoes reigned supreme on courts around the world in the 1970s. With a distinct "v" toe shape and lightweight rubber outsole, today's Nylite maintains the same timeless design, but now boasts a variety of materials and colorways. The Nylite Canvas features a plush terry lining that provides sockless comfort. Traditionalists favor the tennis whites, but the color contrasting Gullwing logo offers a fun alternative.

Features of this item include: Canvas

    Have you ever had a pair shoes fit right and be cleverly neat? If not, then try the Tretorn canvas! Oh my Oh my! Every time I wear them I either get a compliment or a question about them. I am on my feet all day; standing, walking or running- and I have no complaints about doing it in these adorable Tretorns! Now as for my new set of acrylics- that?s another story. My charming Tretorns make my long work days a little more comfortable and I look fabulously clever too.

    Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked
    This is a cute canvas shoe. I have a slightly wider foot and it fits perfectly. I love the light blue, looks great with blue jeans, a nice alternative to white for summer.

  • Tretorn Nylites are awesome May 17, 2012

    I have annoyingly wide feet, so I don't wear good leather shoes much. Tretorns are the way to go, and I'm lucky enough to be able to wear them to work. They're colorful, comfortable, eye-catching. I can match them to a lot of my shirts. It's just a great walking shoe.

  • 5 out of 5 people found the following review helpful: Unlike the original Tretorns.....poor quality June 13, 2010
    Reviewer: Carolyn from NC
    Shoe Size: Felt half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width
    I was disappointed when I received my Tretorns in the mail. I ordered the Navy striped ones. The shoe strings were cheap and very thin. The original Tretorns had nice thick strings that were durable. The new Tretorns were very thin, didn't have the original Terry cushion. The new ones were paper thin and were comparable to a cheap pair of Keds that could be bought at the dollar store. These shoes are manufactured somewhere else and the quality is not the same and not worth the money.

    I had Tretorns in high school, and they were so soft and cushy. They had full terry cloth liners, and the canvas uppers were padded with a light layer of foam, and the terry cloth inside. I could wear them without socks since they were fully lined with terry cloth, and they never chafed. These new ones are not the same. First of all, the uppers are unlined. They are a single layer of canvas. Second of all, the insoles are very thin and flimsy, not comfy like the originals. Third of all, the padded collar is very lightly padded, unlike the originals with the thick padding and terry cloth lining on the collar. The tongue also seems very stiff and uncomfortable. The sole seems to be similar to the original. If you want a shoe for comfort or function, these new Tretorns look like the originals, but are not the same. Without the foam and terry cloth lining, the canvas uppers wrinkle and pucker, making the uppers look crushed. I just wanted these to walk around in, so they seem to be ok. They do require some breaking in, which the originals never did. Overall, they're stiff and sort of flimsy. I'm disappointed. I don't understand why Tretorn would bring them back, and change them so drastically. They should have just called them a different model name, and avoided the inevitable comparison.
