These are simply THE most comfortable sneakers I’ve ever worn. They are even better than my tried-and-true Keens. When I slipped them on for the first time, the arch fit perfectly, offering firm support. I bought the Dark Earth color, which are beautiful, and the blue shoelaces are really a lovely dark teal, which adds an interesting and attractive contrast. The color is versatile, and they look great with jeans. Not only that, I received them within 24 hours after ordering!

Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Arch: Moderate arch supportFelt very true to size, a little lumpy in the footbed initially but it all sort of evened out over time, I wear them every day, very cute and comfy. So far they are holding up well.\r\n

Great knock about sneaker. I have had numerous compliments on this shoe. I have another pair in black and since they are so comfortable decided to buy the brown suede. Would like it if they came in a navy to go better with blue jeans.

These are very cute shoes. I bought the brown ones with the blue laces, and the laces are even prettier than they looked in the pictures. I can tell they'll get more comfy with wear.

Simple living is a thing of the past. Bigger, better, and faster have taken the wheel and spun us out of control! We’ve been melting glaciers, banishing bee colonies and devolving the human race into a rat race that uses a devolving mantra of GIMME GIMME GIMME.
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.
With all the over-built, over-hyped products out there, it's becoming hard to find comfortable shoes that you can live with. So Simple was started. They’re your stereotypical, anti-stereotype brand offering quality shoes and a big dose of reality. Reality with Simple takes shape in the form of Simple men’s shoes, Simple women’s shoes, Simple kid’s shoes and Simple bags.
Later, after about a gazillion pairs of Simple men’s shoes and Simple women’s shoes (give or take a few pairs), Simple has managed to learn a few things. Well, actually a lot of things. And none are more important than this: HOW Simple makes their shoes is just as important as WHY Simple make them. Simple has to find more sustainable ways of doing business. Which pretty much is where Simple stands today... at the crossroads of here and now, aware of their responsibility to the planet while trying to pay the bills.
Sometimes Simple makes progress that is notable while at other times the improvements are harder to recognize. The important thing is that Simple is committed to making Simple shoes and Simple bags that are 100% sustainable.
If you’re ready to take a stand against the shenanigans of excess, then Simple has a new equation to live by:
Less > More
Keep it real. Keep it Simple.

I have had these in the black leather since June and they are so comfortable! I wear them to Disneyland all the time, all day, and my feet never hurt! I am buying a new pair to take to Disney World in February in a different color! They are a bit "straight", but after I wore them a few times, didn't seem that way anymore. I like that they look good with capris and jeans.

I wanted to like these shoes, I really did. I need a pair of casual shoes that are a step above athletic shoes to wear with jeans and such and have searched and searched. I love the look of these, but when I got them the shoe is really "straight". There is no indentation where your foot curves in. It makes your foot look weird. Maybe I'm too picky, but. Otherwise, these shoes were good. They fit true to size and seem to have good arch support.

I bought the Simple Satire shoe from Zappos after ordering at least 10 other pair of similar shoes to find the best fit. We were planning a trip to Disneyland & I wanted a shoe that I could walk around in comfortably all day that were not my gym shoes. My feet are between a normal & wide width, which means I have to find shoes that run a bit wider than normal, because wide widths are too wide. These shoes do seem to run a bit wider which is great for me. They have the look of Converse, but are not as narrow. The sustainable products used in manufacturing is also a plus & does not effect comfort or wear at all. Our trip to Disneyland was great & I wore these shoes for 3 full days of walking with no problems. There is just enough arch support to keep the shoe comfortable for long periods of time. I highly recommend!

I love this shoe. I wear size 10 and my feet are almost into wides, so it's hard to find cute shoes that fit. Converse are too narrow for me, but the Simple Satire are very comfortable. I add orthotics to all my shoes, and it didn't make these too tight. The Black/Urban style is so cute with the subtle polka dots and thin red piping. I wear them all the time.

These shoes are SO COMFORTABLE. They are a little on the wide side (not too bad though) and they just feel good. I love the color and the flowered piping as well. Highly recommend.

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Shoe Width: Felt true to widthI absolutely love these shoes. I am thoroughly converted from my Chucks and my Sambas now. Not only do I think this Simple style looks good (although it makes my feet look even tinier than they are), they are much more comfortable than most everyday sneakers because they have some arch support. I have actually hiked 4 miles in them before. I also like that they are "eco-friendly." My only complaint about these shoes is that they aren't particularly breathable. Other than that, I highly recommend these sneakers. Well worth the money.

These are very cute shoes and I've gotten several compliments on them. They do not have much in the way of arch support, but the footbed is removable so a different arch can be put in - I highly recommend doing this or your feet will ache by the end of the day! I have also found that they do not stand up to the rain well at all so if you are in the Pacific Northwest like me, you might want to consider something else. All in all, I do like the shoe and would order it again.

I have difficult old feet, but still love the sneakers of my youth. These shoes are perfect; cute and comfortable with good arch support. Have tried Converse, but these are much better. I have four pairs, some hemp, some silk, and all great.

These shoes are super cute! I bought the \'\'urban\'\' pattern and the subtle polka dot pattern is adorable. They do seem to run a bit big, though. I usually wear a 9, but after a couple weeks of wear they\'ve stretched out quite a bit. I suggest ordering half size down and wearing them in. There\'s not a ton of tread, but for fall in the city they\'ve done me just fine!

I love the black olive color; it's a great neutral color that is a little unique. I need shoes with a wider toe box and a little arch support, and these fit great right out of the box. I would buy them again!

I work on my feet 8 hours a day, so I needed shoes that wouldn\'t kill my feet by the end of my shift. Simple shoes work really well and look good doing it. I only have the Satire style, but I like the colors I have it in (black and green). The leather upper even repels light moisture, tho I wouldn\'t wear them if I knew heavy rain was on the way.\r\n\r\nGood for walking and being on your feet a long time. Short break-in period. One pair rubbed my ankle a bit the first time out, so be sure to wear good socks or slap a Band-Aid on if you have narrow ankles like me. \r\n\r\nThe earth friendly sourcing is a bonus, and doesn\'t hurt performance.

Very cute shoes! Mine fit pretty much perfectly in size. I average a size 8 and they fit pretty well. They don't really have much arch support or anything. I'll probably just buy an insert.

I wore a pair of Simple shoes to death in college, and now a few years later I yearned for another pair. These were just lovely from the instant I put them on. They have a very shock absorbent cushion, and were very accommodating to my fairly wide feet. Despite seemingly instant comfort, I did notice that as my feet got slightly larger after being on them all day I did get a little pinch on my smallest toes. However, I\'m confident that this will go away after I break them in some more. These are fantastic weekend shoes. I also really like the fact that they\'re environmentally friendly!
