This is a very special shoe. It's super comfortable, durable and has a classic look. It's all I want to wear anymore. It does run a little large and since I'm between sizes I went with the smaller. It stretched to fit perfectly despite my very wide feet.

Sizing is accurate, and they arrived as pictured. I seem to remember these shoes being more comfortable years ago, now they seem to be a bit lacking in the heel. I definitely won't be wearing them to work.

I love these shoes. The Simple Brand is going out of business and Zappos.com is the only place to get them now. Hurry and get yours before they sell out.

These are great shoes. The size was correct, and they feel great. These are my "blue suede shoes" for stage work at the weekly blues jam. They're comfy and fun.

My husband has worn these for years. He is on his 3rd or 4th pair. They wear well, are sturdy and fit true to size. Very good for a wide forefoot.

These shoes are fabulous! I use orthotics for plantar fascia, and find that I don't need them in these shoes. I also have received many complements on the look of these shoes. Very cute! I'm ordering another pair very soon!

I have worn the shoes for 1 month now, for all purposes except endurance (long distance, exercise-focused) bicycling. They show little wear, remain very comfortable, and provide good shock absorption. The cushioning throughout the shoe is quite cozy.

Growing up in California I remember these shoes first coming out almost 20 years ago. Obviously, the design has stood the test of time like only a handful of other sneakers. They are a great value, extremely comfortable and good looking. I just cycle through the various colors. I am VERY bummed to hear Simple shoes are going away!!!

I've recently purchased my second pair of simple shoes. Not because my old pair can't be worn- they are still the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. I can't vouch for the other models, but I have a green and tan pair of these bad boys, and they rock my socks off. Please honor Simple, as they are no longer making these fine feet covers. Buy a pair. Or two!

Simple makes, quite frankly, my favorite skate shoe/sneaker ever! Well built and comfortable from the first wear. I have been a devotee of Simple for many years now; I always come back to Simple after I try something else.

Excellent shoe. This is actually my second pair in this color. I also have two other pairs in different colors... each purchased a year apart. The oldest ones may look like hell now but they are still super comfortable. Not since I was a kid did I have a pair of sneakers that felt so good to wear that I couldn't thrown them out no matter how trashed they look. To me that's the best compliment one can give a sneaker.

Love it! Only thing better than the shoe was how fast it got here. Less than 24 hours after I placed the order, the UPS guy was knocking at my door. Unreal! Go Zappos!

Yet another fine pair of Simple footwear. No bells and whistles, just comfortable sneakers that look nice.

These shoes are awesome! I can only get my son to wear Crocs, but he wears these with no complaints. These are the only lace up shoes he well wear, they are extremely comfortable.

Bought these for my son. He loves Simple shoes, and now that Simple is going out of business Zappos was the only place to get them.

These are classics and like most classics they only get better with age. I have owned several pairs of Simples over the past 20 years and I keep coming back to them.

I'm wearing them right now. I started out with the beige version and then bought a spare beige and the blue version. A truly comfortable all-purpose sneaker. Thanks!

These shoes are comfortable, understated, and very solidly made. They are extremely versatile and impervious to all weather conditions. I recommend them to anyone who wishes to those who want a very stylish shoe that is free of the increasingly brainless sneaker-freaker (and freakish) design.

Zappos - Excellent Service. I had my order in a couple of days. I love these sneakers. My second pair. Very comfortable. If you normally order size 10, order size 10 1/2.

Wow! These sneakers are cool. They look a bit retro, but they are comfortable beyond belief. I have received many compliments on the looks and I have told people where to get them, (Zappos). Of the many pairs of shoes, etc. I have purchased from Zappos these rank right up there with the best. Thanks.
