Customer Reviews Simple Old School Sneaker

Simple O.S. Sneaker 2050 Is Simply Zappo! The Simple O.S. Sneaker 2050 has been my shoe of choice for a number of years for several reasons. First, it is comfortable from toe to heel. It provides support while at the same time allowing for flexibility. Second, it is durable. The sole is solid and is not prone to wearing out. Finally, the suede top and white stitching make the overall look appealing. This is not a shoe that is marketed with a lot of advertisements. I know it was popular among the surfing crowd because that's what I was doing when I first saw someone wearing Simple's. Ads were shown in surfing and skateboarding magazines. There are smaller shoe companies, other than the ones with the catchy logos, which offer quality products. Simple is one of them. Give a pair a try. If and when you decide, buy it from Zappos. Why not buy a quality product from a retailer that delivers service?

Old School Appreciation - With all the high-tech gizmos and advertisements that beseech our eyes and ears everyday, it is sometimes good to take a step back, and remember the easygoing days of yesteryear. With that in mind, the shoes to go on your feet should be Old School Simples. They are simple to the eye, comfortable to the foot, and always assuring yourself the attention from people who understand the importance of such things.

Awesome shoe - Got first set of these 4 years ago for Christmas. They died from overuse. -Looked and looked 'til I found them here. Ordered -arrived 2 days later. Wore them for first time walking mile after mile on a trip. EXTREMELY comfortable.

Incredible comfort and style! I have 4 or 5 pairs of Simples and these are yet another example of the style and comfort that Simple provides! Highly recommended for the modern day mail man! ...or the kid on the go!

Shoe is very comfortable and looks great as a casual shoe that can also be worn with dress pants and a sport shirt. I am happy with my purchase.

Great Sneaker! Simple sneakers are very comfortable and look great, can't beat 'em.

Great Shoe - Great Price - This shoe turned out to be exactly what my son was looking for and it's hard to find good looking, comfortable shoes in size 15! I, personally liked the price.

Good stuff - I've worn Converse All-Stars for the past 9 or 10 years, but they tend to fall apart rapidly (I guess I'm rough on shoes) and they were always awful to wear in the rain. Now I've found a shoe with a similar attitude but a better feel and durability.

excellent - So, this is my first pair of Simples, and I love them. The break-in time seems longer than most shoes, but it's worth it. Now they are so darn comfortable. Well made. It seems like they will last a good long while. An excellent shoe. I gave it a 4 for comfort only because it took me a while to break them in, but I think that will go up to a 5.

Rockin' Loved these shoes! Mistreated them though, lasted for about 2 years, probably longer if I would've just untied them before I took them off.

Simple Old School Sneaker - Great shoe. This is my third pair. One I have had 5 years, one 3 years, and I just bought my third pair. They last forever, the only thing is it is hard to gauge the size. I knew what size to buy only because I've bought them before. I usually wear a 12, but in Simples, I wear a 10-10.5 In addition, zappos shipped VERY quickly (I got it over a weekend).

AMAZING SHOES - I've had these shoes for about 1 year wearing them almost everyday and they're still comfortable and not completely worn out. They do not wear out fast and last long compared to all my other shoes. I'm so impressed, I'm getting another pair.

Great shoe - Love the look, comfortable too! I couldn't find these anywhere and then I came across this site. I love the retro look and they are as comfortable as they look.

I thought they were quite comfortable and still do months later. Although they are noisy, squeaky shoes. I thought about returning them but maybe they would quiet down in time. Maybe a little.

Very comfortable. Slightly too casual for office, but close. So comfortable I am going to find a way to wear them more often. Casual Fridays!

This shoe seems to be built more for style than for comfort. The sole is very firm and heavy so I don't recommend using this shoe for a lot of walking. The shoe did require a short 2 or 3 day break-in period. I took 1 star away on comfort for hard sole and 1 more for it being quite heavy. That being said, the shoe is definitely comfortable enough to wear for casual settings and I am happy with my purchase.

I had been wanting a pair of these for years so finally pulled the trigger last month. I like them, but don't love them. They look sort of like Kleenex boxes on the end of my skinny legs (in shorts) and are hard soled (clunky). But the quality is high and they feel like they will last forever.

These shoes are just what I was looking for...simple, nice looking, and casually comfortable. They are not walking or running shoes and offer minimal arch support or cushion. They are great for driving, shopping or other non-exercise activities.

This is my first purchase of Simple shoes. I love the style, and the fit is perfect. The size is right on. I have never seen these shoes in any store, and I will likely buy another pair in another color. Zappos service was quick and very user friendly.

Very smooth and classy sneaker. Easy on and off and comfy ankle ridge. Minimum support if you're going to walk all over creation in them. A bit narrow for me but working in pretty well. Love 'em!

They look great, and are comfy enough to wear for any occasion/terrain. The shoes seem heavy on my feet. There's a certain weight to them that I don't notice with other shoes I own. No ventilation for the feet. My feet sweat in these.

There has been a lot of talk over this being a "green" company, yet having all their products manufactured in China. I only have this to say: they are solidly built, last a long time, have decent arch support (for a sneaker) and I feel better about not giving all my shoe money to the Nike-Converse-Cole Haan-Umbro-Hurley conglomerate (yes, they are all one andthe same). Great service from Zappos! I can't find these shoes anywhere in Colorado.

I've had three pairs of the Simple OS sneaker over the past ten years. When one pair wears out I replace them -that's how much I like them. If I were to make improvements I would offer them in a narrow size, and I wish they'd make the shoelaces a little shorter.

One of the most comfortable casual shoes I've owned.
