Purchased these for my 13 year-old son. He loves them. We did put a pair of superfeet inserts in (he is ridiculously flat footed), though he said it felt like they had good support. So far they are holding up well. Great looking and stylish...important to a 13 year-old.

Snazzy looking! I like these shoes very much, apart from two cons, the little breath-ability equals sweaty feet. Very little arch support and shock absorption.

I really wanted these shoes, but I have high arches and more times than not I need a wide size to accommodate the arch. Note to Simple: I'm sure the demographics would support making this shoe in a wide width...just my 3 cents.

Great shoe! I've been buying from the Simple brand for 15+ years now. They've never let me down. Matter of fact, this specific shoe was my first pair of Simples. Enjoy!

I have had these for about a month now and they are nice and broken in. They are comfortable to walk in all day and so far seem durable. I recommend these for the style and comfort!

These shoes are awesome!
Durable, stylish, and comfortable.
I would go a 1/2 size up because they run a little small.

Love these sneakers! I'm huge Simple and these puppies do nothing to change that. Attention to detail is very high. Fit and finish are great and they are super comfortable for kicking around in. Just a great pair of Blue Suede Shoes!

I've been buying Simple shoes forever. I try other brands but nothing fits my feet as well as these shoes. They don't need to be broken in, and are comfy right out of the box. Tough shoes as well, take a beating and keep on wearing.

This is a great shoe. It fits like a charm. I have somewhat wide and flat feet, and the OS has a good comfy width to it - and there is only a slight arch, which is perfectly fine by me, since it seems to break in very easily. My only issue with the shoe is that the indigo dye on my jeans keeps on staining the white part of the shoe and that is a jean issue! I will definitely buy these shoes again, because I see myself really busting these ones up, as I will probably wear these every day if I can get away with it. Oh yeah, and they have a wonderful and classic look to them that doesn't look outdated.

My son is in love with these sneakers. They are the perfect everyday shoe and not ugly gym shoes, but stylish sneakers that are just as comfortable and just about as practical.

These sneakers are absolutely awesome! I have worn Simple O.S. Sneakers for well over 10 years and I keep getting new ones each time I wear them down. Which takes a long time! They hold up well and are very sturdy. I don't get to skateboard much anymore, but when I did these were awesome for abuse. They are incredibly comfortable and soft to walk in. Love 'em!

I purchased these as a gift for my husband.
For years he has settled for size 13 shoes when he really wears a 14. He hates shopping and has no patience!
Since opening the present he keeps telling me how comfortable they are. And I like the fact that they have some style! Great shoes!

I ordered these as a back-up for my husband's other pair. I must say they hold up nicely, which is saying something, since hubby is a destroyer of all things shoe. He loves, loves these sneakers. Comfy with a classic style.

I buy this shoe all the time...I complained about the squeaking noise. I recently bought a couple more pair and the soles have been changed to a different material, which solves the squeak! Nice.

This is a great casual shoe that stands the test of time. Takes a bit of breaking in but wears well. Runs a tad big so consider 1\/2 size smaller than you\'d order in a Nike or Adidas.

I have purchased 3 sets of your Old School Sneaker. There are 3 reasons I decided on these shoes. Using recycled material, comfort and ever since I observed Larry David wearing them on his show, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" I knew I wanted a pair. They wear better than any other shoe I have owned in the past and retain the Old School, look, and I am 62 years old. Great shoe.

Zappos is THE best. The shoes were a gift and therefore the quality matters even more. Zappos ALWAYS exceeds my very high expectations.

An amazing sneaker for anyone who values comfort more than frills. If you weigh 80 or 280, this sneaker provides excellent foot and ankle support.

Nice looking walking shoe. I\'m a 42 year old who needed a new pair of sneaks for our summer shore vacation. My Chucks weren\'t exactly very comfortable last year while walking the boardwalks, so I decided to give these a try. The Simple Old Schools were perfect! Casual with a bit of style.Comfortable on the bottom of the feet during long boardwalk trips. Look good with any color combination of clothes that I wore. Simple, yet effective! The only con I can think of was that my feet did sweat a little bit more in these as opposed to the Chucks. With all the extra padding that\'s to be expected, and not enough to change me back to the Chucks.

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.

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!

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?

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.

This is a decent shoe for very casual wearing around the house or office. It is fairly boxy and cavernous on the inside, which doesn't provide for a lot of support or stability, it's not comfortable on long walks or all day wearing. The shoe appears to be made well and for the light activity it can handle, will probably last a long time. Sizing is a bit all over the map with Simple shoes, definitely order one a half size larger than you would normally order.
