Comfortable, the low-slung back makes them easy to get off. I’ve owned Simples before and they last a good long time. Mostly, I like these because they look like primer-black hot rods with a red-wall stripe around each tire. There is no extraneous stitching and the wide-set eyes and grey shoelaces remind me of hockey boots.

I just got these shoes, and they look better than I thought they would. They fit really well and look very trendy without screaming "look at me, I'm such a hipster!" Even though the shoes are made out of recycled material, you would never no it because the materials seem and feel to be of very high quality. The sole of the shoe is flat, but there is arch support, unlike, say a Converse. ***Important Sizing information*** Order 1/2 size bigger than your normal athletic shoe size. I wear 8 1/2 running shoes (Adidas, Nike, etc.) and a size 9 is perfect for me.

First off these shoes are comfortable for the long haul! Since getting them a week and a half ago I've worn them everyday and my work days (standing on a cement floor) have been no shorter than 10 hrs. at a time. My feet and legs felt less fatigue then with other shoes (New Balance, Adidas). I'm glad I read a few other reviews about the sizing because going a half size larger was spot on. This is my second pair of Simple shoes; I really like the aesthetic of this company. They were definitely ahead of this whole "green" curve. I'd say buy these with confidence!

When I ordered these Simple (Tuba Leather) shoes I also ordered pairs from Puma, Adidas, and Macbeth. The Simples are by far my favorite of them all (I returned all but these and the Macbeths - the Pumas and Adidas were horrible). I'm hard on shoes and have been beating these around for about 5 weeks and no signs of break-down yet. I even had to submerge them in a bucket of water for 24 hours because they got entirely covered in blood after an arm-through-a-window mishap. The blood soaked into the shoes for about 16 hours before I could get them submerged and except for a little discoloration in the laces, all stains came out completely! My only gripe is that when I first got them it felt as if one of the soles was a little thicker than the other. This worried me because my back and knee can get screwy if my shoes are screwy, but I haven't had any issues so far and I don't notice the same uneven feeling I did during the first few weeks of wearing the shoes. Thanks Simple for being a company that strives to use recycled and natural materials whenever possible. I respect and support that.

Great shoe. Very comfortable and great to wear on the weekends. I ordered a 1/2 size larger and that was the right call for me. My only complaint is that the rubber treads seem to have some differences in thickness, which is probably due to the fact that they are recycled. But, after wearing a few times, they seem to have leveled out. I'll definitely buy from Simple again in the future.
