In august 1961 camp irwin, a training area located in the mojave desert in san bernardino county, california, is designated a permanent installation and renamed fort irwin. during the vietnam buildup, many artillery and engineer units were trained and deployed from fort irwin, the army’s premier training center. our 08/61 army issue sneaker is inspired by the all-purpose sporting footwear issued to and worn on base by soldiers in the 1960s.

Great shoes
I really dig these shoes...I was looking for a low top shoe to wear casually that was something like a low top Converse Chuck Taylor, but just not those. I came across these and since the company dates back to the 1960s I thought they're worth giving a shot. I am not disappointed! They feel great on your feet while listening to Pet Sounds. Recommend.

Love
Great look and they hold up well. The rubber sole peeled from the upper in a few places but superglue fixed instantly.

I will buy again.
This its a great shoe. If you are a foot orthotic user this shoe will accomodate since it does have the extra dept you looking for.Even though this its a flat sole shoe it does have a toe rocker bottom sole built in.If you wear braces that requires extra dept and surgical opening for an easy donning and doffing of your brace, this is your shoe as well.I think it came with 2 pair of shoe laces.On the cons, the heel cup top edge will get you a blister (even if you wear a sock) but not too bad since after you break them in no longer a problem. It took me a week.

Poor long-term quality for the price
Put these into my rotation, as I was looking for a replacement since Keds have stopped make men's shoes, and I enjoy the 'plimsoll' look but hate the way converse's feel. These are both comfortable and stylish, I really enjoy the looks of these with no-show socks and jeans.On to the bad though, as one other reviewer mentioned there was a gap between the fabric upper and the rubber sides from very early on. And after less than a year of light use, the sole is starting to separate from the bottom. I'd expect that from the $15 pair of shoes I got from 'Call It Spring', but when I bought these for $60? Absolutely not. At the price point it's currently at at the time of this review ($80)? No sale.I'll be trying to glue them back on, but I'd really have higher expectations for something at this price point.
