I got my Tribekas on Cyber Monday so I assume I got a better deal than I could get on a regular day. However, I really like my new sneakers. I read a lot of reviews before choosing them and was glad I did! I took half a size up from my size and they fit much better than if I went with my true size. So yes. They are undersized. It's also a bit slippery in heels, but I think it has more to do with my feet than the shoes (I've had this problem with other brands of shoes in the past). The colors and everything else is great - not faded, not smudged, not dirty. The labels are all there, the box looked good. Delivered damn fast too. would recommend.
