Comfy Casual -
One of the most comfortable shoes I ever owned. The look is a cross between nostalgic sneakers and skateboarder shoes. Very useful as all purpose casual shoes.

Good deal!!
The Simple OS Sneaker was a great buy, and very affordable as well! Compared to other shoes in this price range, the Simple OS has the same comfort for everyday lounging around as well as with long walks. These are the best shoes I've gotten in a very long time!

I LOVE these shoes!!!
These shoes are so comfortable and a little more appropriate to wear to my office than say regular sneakers because they are suede. I work in a very casual environment, but even so my boss raises eyebrows at wearing sneakers to work...this pair got: "cute shoes".

Sneakers -
This is my 2nd pair, just wanted another color. I like the wide toe box. I took the sneaks out of the box, gave them a wash and started wearing. I don't wear socks with them and no rubbing with a brand new pair (no blisters!) A similar sneaker from another large sporting good retailer looks good with a lower price but a seam on the inside gave my little toe a blister. No problem with the Simple Sneaker! Well worth the $, I'll see how long they last.

The perfect casual sneaker -
If you're looking for a comfortable casual sneaker that's perfect with jeans, short, slacks, or for walking around with just about anything, then these are yours. They're comfy, stylish, durable. I feel their value, quality, and style make them a worthy purchase. Kinda thinking of getting them in 2-3 colors (I have the blue) so as to go with everything. They just become a part of "your look", you know? Also - a little more narrow than I remember. And no, not great arch support, but comfy and cool? Aboslutely.

Shoe fits perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Zappos.com is better than going to the mall. So simple and straightforward.

I've had my pair of Simple sneakers for over six months, which I think is the right amount of time for a “proper review” of a shoe: the Simple O.S. is a great sneaker. Period. The only other shoe I've worn that approaches the level of comfort and durability of the Simple O.S. are my "old school" Puma "California" sneaks, which just finished their 6th season and thus had to be “retired” back to their original box (hey, gotta keep 'em... they're classics!). I recently spent a week wandering around San Francisco wearing my Simple O.S.s “full time”: they provided amazing comfort all day without any problems. These shoes still feel as fresh as the day I put them on. *Note: I do have a slightly “lower than normal” arch, so I do have to be careful of what shoes I wear... thus, my advice to everybody is to have your feet checked out by a doctor before purchasing any shoe. I've had “shoe troubles” for years until I was properly evaluated. It made a big difference. Simple fits "me"!

The Only Sneak For Me -
Been buying these from Zappos for years now. Black, blue, green, sand - I've had 'em all. I love these shoes and hope they never stop making them. A solid, functional, and long-lasting piece of footwear. Styling is classic and not overdone. Always comfortable and supportive.

Simply amazing.
With the comfort and look of any great Vans sneaker, Simple delivers an incredible shoe with their "Old School" sneaker. The durability and construction of the sneaker is fantastic, and even after a few months mine still appear to be never-worn. Though I wouldn't recommend them for long-distance walking, they are well-worth the purchase in one's daily routine. The shoes squeak when they first are worn but that goes away after about a half hour of walking in them.
Enjoy!

You guys are great -
I ordered my Simple shoes and got them the next day and they fit perfect. Zappos customer service is top priority!!!!!! I have been a customer for a long time and ordered hundreds of dollars of various shoes, and I am totally satisfied. But seriously Zappos is the best way to get shoes via the internet. Thanks Zappos, Mark E

A new classic -
I love these sneakers. The design reflects the company's name: simple. But like all designs that end up being classic, they are elegant in their simplicity.
Comfort-wise, they are almost unnoticeable on my foot, and give the best arch-support of any shoe I have ever owned.

Simply Satisfied -
I bought my first pair of Simple shoes in 2001 and they finally wore out in 2008. The exact shoe that I previously had isn't being made any longer, but this model seems to be the new replacement. While I have a lot of shoes that are much more expensive, my Simples are the shoes I go to when I just want to kick about. For the price, I don't think you can get a better shoe. My only complaint is that they don't make a size 12 1/2.

Great shoe!
I bought this shoe for my husband. He recently put a hole in his favorite green Sketcher's...so I bought him the Simple's... I gotta say great looking shoe! Also he wears them every single day despite his 23 other pairs of shoes...so I'm guessing they are his favorites now!

Always awesome -
I've had dozens of these shoes. I used to pack them in my backpack for nights where'd I skateboard before going to the bar. I'd rip up a pair of my skate shoes, then slip these comfy, awesome looking simples on. They are the most comfy shoe ever. I love them, chicks love them, and they've never been anything but perfect in the past 10 years!

Great shoe!
The show was a gift for my son and he loved how it fit him and how it looked. It fit true to size and I heard it was made from recycled materials which is fabulous!

Great everyday shoe -
This shoe is has two things going for it-looks first and foremost, and comfort that's almost on par with the great style. My only gripe is that the laces seem to become loose too quickly after walking around for a while, but a simple re-tie solves the problem.

Best Shoes Ever -
I have had these shoes for about a year (which is how long most of my shoes tend to last) and they are still in great shape. These shoes were, and still are, the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on my feet.

Awesome shoe -
These were the first Simples I bought and I was sold when I first put them on. I have extremely wide feet and so not only did they support my wide feet, they have a good look, too.

I love these shoes. They are functional and cool. And, Simple is an 'environmentally aware' company. Pluses on all counts.

Simple, great as usual -
I remembered owning these sneaker years ago, and also that it lasted forever, was priced well, and was very comfy. It still is. Simple has a good tool to help you measure your feet for sizing, and while mine was a little too big, the shoe is still very comfy. I am sure I'll own these for years.

Great Shoe!
I bought these for my boyfriend - he has flat feet so shoes are always uncomfortable unless they are running shoes. He put these on and was hooked. Not only did he think they were extremely comfortable, they're stylish too!
