These are comfy shoes that I have no problem walking around town in. I went with the black (hemp) ones and couldn't be happier. They are made of hemp/organic cotton and recycled materials. Simples tend to run a little small, which is fine if you're aware of it or have the chance to try a pair on. I usually wear an 11 or sometimes a 10.5 depending on the brand. I got a 10 in these and they fit me well. I don't think I would want them any larger or smaller.

These were exactly what I was looking for: simple, non-flashy style and very comfortable. They actually turned out to be much more comfortable than I was expecting, after wearing them for a month. At first where it touches the achilles chafed a little, but it went away quickly. One thing to consider: you won't be able to just slip these shoes on. They fit tightly around your ankle, and because there is a canvas strip at the top, it doesn't give at all. If you don't mind sitting down and taking a minute to put your shoes on, it's not a big deal. This is my first pair of Simple shoes, so I'm hoping they will hold up over time.

You may be reading some of these reviews and hearing things such as "too tight", "simple emblem on the back of the shoe falls off", and "not durable". The problem with these reviews is that people fail to take into account what these shoes are. The shoes are made with water based glues, not concrete, so if 3 months down the line the emblem falls off, it's to be expected. Others may complain about lack of comfort, possibly because they did not order 1/2-full size bigger as suggested. I find these shoes have much more comfort and support than Converse All Stars and the Vans slip ons, which I have worn forever. The last complaint of lack of durability is an odd one, considering these are canvas shoes, not leather boots. If you look at these shoes realistically, they are awesome for what they are. I recommend these to everyone who asks about them (and lots of people give compliments) and I plan on buying them again when the pair I have wears out (I bought the white ones). So please highly consider buying these shoes; you will be glad you did!

Very comfortable, nice look. Agree that you need a size bigger than normal; I'm usually a 12 but ordered 13 and they fit perfectly.

I bought the white hemp Sno Tires. They felt awkward at first, but became comfortable after about a 2 day break in. Not the worlds most comfortable shoe, but that’s the price you pay for saving our planet I guess. Overall nice shoe though. Fits nicely, sizing is accurate. Can't give an opinion for durability yet, as I have only had them for a couple of weeks, but so far they are holding up well considering what my shoes go through on a regular basis.
