If you like comfortable, long-wearing, lightweight, casual/athletic shoes with "old school" styling, then these are the shoes for you. These babies offer the "classic" styling of Converse All-Stars, but with more padding inside. If you have high arches and need a lot of support under the arch, try a different brand; these are not for you. However, the inner soles are removable, so you can replace them with thinner or thicker innersoles or even orthodics. The outsoles are rugged; I've owned mine for over 8 months now (even threw them in the washing machine & dryer). They're my everyday shoes and still look great. I followed other reviewer's recommendations and bought a 1/2 size larger. I normally wear a Men's size 10 Medium width, but got the 10 1/2 and they fit great (length & width). These are great shoes. I highly recommend them.

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.

Simple shoes, simply great. For a 19-year-old with flat feet, the supposed lack of arch support is irrelevant to me. They're comfortable, durable, and once broken in, identifiable. These shoes have personality, and as John Travolta says in Pulp Fiction, "personality goes a long way." Of course, they were talking about pigs; regardless, these shoes are awesome. And besides, how cool is it that the bottom of the shoe is a car tire? As for Zappos, wonderful next-day delivery yet again.

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.

I purchased a pair of black hemp for my son(size 17)and he is very happy with them. He says they\'re real comfortable and we both feel they look very good on him as well. Would definitely recommend.

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!

I like these shoes a lot; I got the black hemp variety. They are very comfortable, solidly made, and super-nice looking. (I also have the black hemp sandals by Simple; also wonderful.)\r\n\r\nI just wanted to mention that I disagree with another reviewer\'s thoughts on sizing. I am normally a 12, and ordered a 13 as the review suggested. This was a size too big. I ordered a 12 to replace it, and it fit perfectly. So, your mileage may vary, I think these shoes fit the same as other similarly-marked shoes.\r\n\r\n(The shoe has European sizing information on it; it would be nice if this was also on the website. I know I wear size 46 cycling shoes that fit perfectly. The 13s are 47 and the 12s are 45.5. 45.5 is closer to 46, and it ended up being the best fit.)

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.

Great shoes!! I purchased my first pair earlier this year. The shoe is very comfortable, durable, and stylish. I liked them so much, that I ordered another pair in a different color. I am very satisfied with the shoes.

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.

Elastic a tad bit tight in thigh, but still very pretty.
