Stylish, comfy, price was just right. Wish I could buy another pair but sadly the company went out of business.

Just what I was looking for comfy and casual. Could use just a little more arch support for my flat feet. Recommended, and love Zappos service!

I am a woman and wear size 9 womens. Bought these in 7 mens and they fit well. Slightly bulkier than I expected but maybe that is because they are mens shoes. Still enjoy them a lot.

Great sneaker, well made with hemp fibers and recycled tires among other things. Good fit and comfortable too.

These run a little small, but otherwise are fabulous shoes! Super cool. Too bad Simple is going out of business.

These are a great pair of shoes. This was my first blind buy from Zappos and I am very pleased with my purchase. Shipping was quick and the shoes undamaged. These shoes are very comfortable, stylish, and versatile. I can essentially wear them with any outfit except for formal occasions. These shoes are simply excellent.

One of my favorite all time shoes. It brakes my heart to know that Simple Shoes are gone and will be no more.

The Simple Old School Sneaker is an awesome shoe that my son educated me about. Extremely comfortable with good support, it is also an environmentally friendly product. Zappos is awesome. I ordered at 5PM on one night and had them the next day.

Comfortable work shoe. I transition from building to building as part of my job. I spend half of my day on my feet. These shoes are comfy, good looking with my khakis, and durable. Not a lot of arch support.

Probably the most comfortable shoe I have owned in a long time. I'm on my feet for 12- 14 hr a day and simple can get me thru the whole day.

I love Simple shoes! So sad they are not in business right now. These shoes are great, but I have to return them because they are men's shoes (no more women's in this style), and are a little wide for my narrow female foot.

I bought my first pair of these shoes three years ago and have been very satisfied with them. So, as the first pair began to wear out, I decided I get another.

This is my third pair of Old School shoes in the last year or so. I liked the first pair so much that I decided to get two other colors These shoes go great with jeans and also with cargo shorts and a tee. Most comfortable sneakers I've owned to be sure and the at half the price I've paid for others. Thanks as always to Zappos for their lightning quick shipping. If you are on the fence with these, do yourself a huge favor and get them. You won't regret it.

Bought my first pair in college fifteen years ago for quite a bit more than this price. They were worth it then. At this price, an absolute bargain. Fantastic shoes.

Killer shoes, if you rocked these in the ‘90s you know how cool they are. I am usually a 9 to 10 depending on brand, and I was a 9.5 in these. Of course, Zappos exchanged no problem as usual.

Great service from Zappos VIP, as always! Shoe fits great, so comfortable and a wide toe cup to boot. Bummer that they are stopping production, but I was there at the beginning and the end.

Comfortable. Good for walking, yardwork, etc. I wouldn't recommend it for playing sports.

These are some of the most comfortable shoes I believe I've ever worn. The toe box is plenty wide. Nothing pinches or feels off about wearing them.

Great shoes and on sale. Too bad Simple has shut down. I just ordered a second pair in case Zappos runs out.

Buy these while you can. Very comfy shoe that has a unique look and feel. I usually wear a size 15 but bought a 14 in these and they fit just fine. The laces came pre tied which I loved because I slipped them on right out of the box and haven't tied them yet lol.

I have purchased about 9 pairs of shoes from Zappos and never a problem on returns or exchanges or refunds. This pair fit perfect as ordered. Easier, faster and less expensive than any local store near me.

Received these within 48 hours of ordering. The fit is as close to perfect as can be. The colors were identical to the ones in the product photo. Walked into my neighborhood market yesterday, and two people asked me where I'd gotten them. Excellent value.

The innersole on the right shoe was a little bit wrinkled when I first got them. I thought it was going to be a huge problem, and I would have to return them. However, when I wore them the first time, that ironed out. Since then, the shoes have been very comfortable. The rubber outersole is pretty stiff, and the shoes actually sound like dress shoes when walking on hard surfaces like tile. They are not quiet like other rubber casual/athletic shoes. The innersole is very comfortable and cushy. The inner fabric around the shoe is plush too, so that makes them even more comfortable.
