Advantages: Nice and comfy leisure shoes that look very nice
Disadvantages: Big sizing and wide fit
I just received the shoes ordered few days ago - great delivery services BTW, as usually from Amazon.co.uk.
Couldn't wait to open the box with my favourite brand of pumps. And there they were the pretty shoes in size 4, my very standard size that I've always been ordering even from Kangaroos so far.
Tried them on and what a disappointment, they're one whole size too big. Not even fat insole would correct such big difference...
2 years back I bought 2 similar pairs of Kangaroos but they fitted well, if not a bit on loose side but that was a positive loose and not a "whole size too big, baggy loose".
Fortunately for me, I ordered 2 other pairs of Orbit and OrbitII shoes in size 3, also Kangaroos, and they fit. Only because of that I'm not totally disappointed but that's a different pair of shoes...
It seems that their sizing shifted quite a bit in some models, as not all of them are on a big side, e.g. Kiku model. That's confusing. You really have to know what you order, to get it right the first time.
I wouldn't mind "Kangaroos - baggy shoes" if it applied as a rule to all models.
As it is, via internet best to make a double order; one your correct size and one size smaller. That way you'll end up with one of them actually fit.
PS. I forgot to mention how great Kangaroos shoes are if they happen to be the right size.
The inside is soft with great insoles and sometimes padding to the top of the shoe, especially if they made of fabric.
The soles are their trademark made of 2 different components: one durable and usually in crazy colour and they're intertwined with the second component: soft, gripping bits that also aid their springiness.
Most Kangaroos combine good looks of fashion shoes with comfort of trainers. I was much happier about them when their sizing was standardised and didn't cause confusion. Now that I know it, I'll approach purchase with caution but still am going to buy them, as they possibly the best casual- sporty-girly shoes out there.
Summary: Great shoes that in some cases have to be ordered 1 size smaller
