All-Stars Lost
I bought a pair of Simple's (earlier style) when my favorite green suede One-Stars were pilfered. Three years of frequent wear later, they were retired when the upper began separating at the heel. This may seem underwhelming when compared with other reviews here, but note that I had abused these in ways no sneaker should be ever. I would wear them on impromptu hikes, scrambling IN rivers while fly fishing, cross-town motorcycle trips (not a safe idea), and fleeing from the police in my criminal mastermind activities. My second pair were mildly defective (the plastic heel reinforcements wore through in less than two months and an hour's wear would produce a monstrous stink) but remained comfortable and supportive for over three years under similar use to that of their predeccessors. Simple Uberalis!

They just never give up!
Just purchased my 4th pair over the past 8-10 years. Comfort, style, durable all in one sneaker. What more could one ask for? Don't buy these unless you are ready to give up all your other sneakers.

Shoes that Last 6+ years.
I do not own a pair of this style (but of the previous style) and I have been wearing the same pair for almost 7 years before the bottoms wore out. These shoes are built to last and although they are expensive I WILL NOT buy any other brand- I've tried it before and they lasted just over a year (VANS)
These shoes are difficult to find in stores- I've searched from Syracuse to Buffalo only to find them on-line

I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I received my pair last week and I am very impressed with them. These have to be the most comfortable shoes I have owned in a long time. They are very well constructed, and look great. I think I will order another pair in black!!!

fantastic shoes!!!!!!!!
this will be my 4th pair of the same shoes. The soles NEVER wear out!!!! I've had Vans, D.C., most of the major brands of skate shoes, but these are the best by far. Just wish that they were in stores.

My favorite shoes.
These are my favorite, shoes I bought my shoes 3 years ago and I wore then every single day. The bottoms never wore out, sides never came apart and they were always comfy. The only problem was that the backs wore out a little cause I never tied then up, I just shoved my foot in but this was only a few months ago this started happening.

Simple shoes rock.
My sister bought me a pair of the O.S. Sneaks a few years back. I'm on my 5th pair and ready for more. I also own a pair of Simple clogs and two other pairs of varying styles. Simple shoes are the only way to roll!!

Simples own all.
I'm now wearing my fourth pair of sand colored size 11 Simple shoes. -Nothing else comes close. The only other product in the world that has brought me this much satisfaction is IBC root beer. It's that good!

Simple Shoes.
I'm pleased to walk through the halls of High School in these sneakers. They're comfortable, cool-looking and give you a unique image. I look forward to purchasing a second pair in another color.

I'm so sad!
These shoes are really great!
But Simple has stopped the production!
So I can't have new ones!
It's not really funky. :(

Just go Old School!
I've owned three pairs of the O.S. and looking to get my 4th. I've now owned over 6 pairs of Simple shoes, too. Keep on rockin'.

Simple shoes have to be the best shoes on the market. In the past three years I've owned three pairs and each one has lasted me a whole year; through school and sports and work and what-not. They're comfortable for whatever you're doing and they look really good on you. I don't think I'll ever stop buying them, at least as long as they're making them.

These are the best shoes on earth. Maybe it's just me and Ben Stein who really like them because I never see them on anybody's feet, but try one pair and you will be enligtened.

I've always like Simple shoes, since I first saw them back in '96. This OG pair didn't disappoint - comfortable, functional and stylish. It's too bad the company isn't producing any more. Get yourself a pair before they're all gone.

Shoe is of good quality. The sole is a bit stiff, but broke in nicely. The material is tough, hemp inner and old school style. Nice shoe, and a nice price.

Very comfy and stylish. I get lots of compliments on these. I recently wore them on a trip to San Francisco, and I found them to be somewhat uncomfortable for lots of city walking, but I'm a bit of a running shoe junkie, so others might not find this to be an issue.

These are well designed. I love the padded collar around the ankle. They have a very nice color, the gummy soles are cool too. They are very comfortable to walk in with a lot of room for your toes to move around, these are not running shoes, they are kind of flat soled, just so you know. They are great for walking shoes.
