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.

Additional Brand Information

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.

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 love this shoe! This is by far one of the most comfortable pair of sneakers I have ever owned. The footpad is very soft but has decent support for this style of shoe. I am back to order in additional colors!

Reviewer: Meredith L from Madison, WI

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!

These shoes are so cute. I got them in purple and am considering getting them in black and olive too. It is a great casual shoe for weekends! They have a bit of arch support which I wasn't expecting, but that makes them even more comfortable. The sizing for this shoe runs true.

Reviewer: Angela A from Brooklyn NY
Overall: (4 Stars) Comfort: (4 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
As other reviewers suggested, different pairs fit differently. I bought 2 pairs in same size, different colors because I couldn't decide. 1 pair definitely fit better! So I returned the other. Bottom line: comfortable, very cute. And eco-friendly! I'm 3 times happy! I'm a long-time Zappos customer and have never been disappointed with service. They are a true boon to someone like me, a woman with size 12 feet and a highly developed need for comfort and sense of personal style.

These shoes were my first and probably not last purchase from Zappos! The shoes are just as cute in real life as they are in the photos and very comfortable and the sizing was pretty accurate.

love these! They\'re so comfy and fit true to size. It\'s raining today so I decided to wear these and they practically repel rain! My jeans rub off on the rubber parts but besides that, love em! Have two pairs!

Reviewer: Jenn from Buffalo
Overall: (4 Stars) Comfort: (3 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
These shoes are really cute - both the cut of the shoe and the pattern of the canvas. However, their shoes offer very little cushion. I replaced the insole that came with the shoe with Dr. Scholl\'s gel inserts. That helped, but even now they are not the most comfortable shoes I own. It\'s a style v. cushion trade-off with these shoes.

Reviewer: from Washington State
Overall: (4 Stars) Comfort: (5 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
Very cute and comfortable shoes, but the sizing seems to be off. I ordered a size 7 in the satire silk, and they were way too small. (I normally wear size 7.) I then ordered an 8 in the regular Satire and these were huge! I settled on a size 7.5 although they are still a little large. Also, because the soles are made of recycled car tires, one sole seems to be slightly more convex then the other.

I started out wanting a pair of Converse slip-ons, but also desired a shoe with more support and comfort. This is the shoe! Cute, relaxed style that looks equally awesome with a comfy pair of jeans or a brown wrapped skirt. I can wear them with or without socks. Love these shoes.

Reviewer: Paula T from Texas
Overall: (5 Stars) Comfort: (4 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
I'm very pleased with Simple's Satire shoe. They are very attractive and have a nicely padded insole, although they could use a little more arch support. I normally wear a wide width, but these have plenty of toe room. For some odd reason, they seem to make some of my socks slip down into the shoe. Overall, I definitely recommend them.

First of all, these type of shoes are very hard to find if you are an adult and want a decent color. These shoes are wonderful! I even bought a pair for a friend of mine and she promptly took them on vacation and they worked out very well. We like the subtle polka dot pattern also. Thank you also to Zappos for outstanding customer service and delivery time.

Overall: (5 Stars) Comfort: (5 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
I absolutely love this shoe that I purchased it in two other colors. I wear them so much I am afraid I will wear them out too quickly. Maybe I should buy another pair in the same color? These shoes are true to size and width. They are a great looking casual shoe!

These are fab shoes. I bought a pair in navy and pink gingham. They are very comfy, and really cute. The service to the UK is excellent and I buy frequently from this site as they have such a brilliant range of shoes in large sizes. Great service and lovely shoes.

It was love at first sight when I saw these shoes. I love the gingham print for summer. These shoes are so comfortable. They are true to size and width. They have a bit of an arch support too. I am able to wear them all day long with great comfort. I also like the fact that these shoes are made "green", with natural and recycled materials. They are fun and comfortable shoes for summer or all year round.
