These are the best shoes on earth. Maybe it's just me and Ben Stein who really like them because I never see them on anybody's feet, but try one pair and you will be enligtened.

Old School Rules! These are excellent daily wear sneakers... They are comfortable, roomy, and cool looking. I am a teacher, and I have a pair that I have worn literally every day for a year. They are just now starting to show their age!

Great Shoes I'm wearing my pair now. They don't have much arch support, but other than that, they are perfect. I like the fact that they don't have any fancy lettering, stripes or swooshes. They may be simple, but they are quality.

About Simple
When is enough really enough? When can we tweak the definition of wealth and accumulate some positive karma? Can't we just trade down for once? What's the solution to this mess?
It's Simple. It starts with Who They Are!
With all the over-built, over-hyped products out there, it's pretty hard to find sustainable shoes that you can live with. So they started Simple, your stereotypical, anti-stereotype brand offering good shoes and a big dose of reality.
About a gazillion pairs later... give or take a few... they've managed to learn a few things. Well, actually a lot of things. And none more important than this: HOW they make their shoes is just as important as WHY they make them. That means finding more sustainable ways of doing business so they can make a gazillion more!
Which pretty much is where they are today... at the crossroads of here and now, aware of their responsibility to the planet while trying to pay the bills; the nice little shoe company getting in touch with its inner hippie
Their Process.
Sometimes, the progress is notable while at other times the improvements are harder to come by. The important thing is Simple is committed to making 100% sustainable products. Finding materials and processes that make products sustainable is a method they call Green Toe. It isn't a magic formula, or a cure. It's a compass that points to a bright green future.
Progress in Green Toe is measured with a scale called "good, better, best." The best category represents Simple's most sustainable shoes and bags and sets the bar for the rest of the line. Moving forward, these same innovative materials and constructions will be found in the good and better categories, raising the bar for the best products. Pretty nifty, huh?
If you're ready to take a stand against the shenanigans of excess, then Simple has a new equation to live by: Less is More.
Keep it real. Keep it Simple®.

Simple shoes have to be the best shoes on the market. In the past three years I've owned three pairs and each one has lasted me a whole year; through school and sports and work and what-not. They're comfortable for whatever you're doing and they look really good on you. I don't think I'll ever stop buying them, at least as long as they're making them.
Brands I'd also recommend: None...keep it Simple

Just go Old School! I've owned three pairs of the O.S. and looking to get my 4th. I've now owned over 6 pairs of Simple shoes, too. Keep on rockin'.

I'm so sad! These shoes are really great! But Simple has stopped the production! So I can't have new ones! It's not really funky. :(

Simply great! I love these shoes! I just trampled all over Scotland in them and couldn't be happier with them. A total stranger came up to me and said, "I love your shoes!" I like them so much that I got a second pair in another color. Can't somebody persuade Simple to keep making them?

? Why? Simple needs to put the O.S. back into stores. I wore my shoes to the ground, and I haven't had a pair for 5 years, and I need Simples!
Brands I'd also recommend: Any thing made by SMIPLE or DR. MARTIN.

Great shoes, I'm on my fourth pair. People should realize that even though you can't get them in stores, you can buy them online. They've always been available for me.
Brands I'd also recommend: The other 3 colors of Simple.

Simple Shoes Rules! I was fortunate enough to buy four pairs of simple O.S. shoes at an online retail outlet store two years ago. Now that these shoes are virtually not produced anymore, I must say, it's a pleasure to find more rare styles and colors on the internet. I totally enjoy wearing these shoes and often get compliments on them. I'm a night stocker at a large retail store and wearing these sneakers really makes my feet very comfortable. I'm surely going to buy more pairs in the future. Long live Simple O.S. shoes!
Brands I'd also recommend: Adidas Campus 2, Adidas Gazelle, Etinne, DC Shoes, Adidas Spok, Adidas Sambas,

Simple Shoes. I'm pleased to walk through the halls of High School in these sneakers. They're comfortable, cool-looking and give you a unique image. I look forward to purchasing a second pair in another color.
Brands I'd also recommend: none, Simple is the one !

Simples own all. I'm now wearing my fourth pair of sand colored size 11 Simple shoes. -Nothing else comes close. The only other product in the world that has brought me this much satisfaction is IBC root beer. It's that good!

Simple shoes rock. My sister bought me a pair of the O.S. Sneaks a few years back. I'm on my 5th pair and ready for more. I also own a pair of Simple clogs and two other pairs of varying styles. Simple shoes are the only way to roll!!
Brands I'd also recommend: None, all others suck.

My favorite shoes. These are my favorite, shoes I bought my shoes 3 years ago and I wore then every single day. The bottoms never wore out, sides never came apart and they were always comfy. The only problem was that the backs wore out a little cause I never tied then up, I just shoved my foot in but this was only a few months ago this started happening.

fantastic shoes!!!!!!!! this will be my 4th pair of the same shoes. The soles NEVER wear out!!!! I've had Vans, D.C., most of the major brands of skate shoes, but these are the best by far. Just wish that they were in stores.
Brands I'd also recommend: None, stick with simple.
